The room was freshly painted, the linens were freshly cleaned. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. Overall, a pleasant room. Some issues noted: the duvet on one of the beds seemed to have a large mud stain on one of the corners; while the floor was clean for the most part, I noticed a piece of dental floss in the sink/ closet area, there was no tissues available in the room, nor pen and note pad that I come to expect in hotels; while complementary coffee service was available, there was only one coffee pack when there are usually at least two. The hotel needs softer pillows too-four firm pillows, needed two less firm. These feel a little nitpicking, but small details do matter. I would stay there again, though.

This is a great property and is very convenient to the airport. They do have a shuttle but I had a rental car and didn’t need to use it. The rooms are very spacious and the beds are very comfy. The staff are pleasant and helpful. They do offer a continental breakfast but there is a limited selection. There are several restaurants within a block or so, including the Alaska Chopped and Chowdered, which was excellent. Definitely would stay here again!

Nice property, the definition of a three star hotel. I had heavy bags and all the rooms are far from the front door, so that was an avoidable pain point. The breakfast is good and the rest is a solid three stars.

The hotel was attempting a renovation however it was quite dirty. There was trash everywhere at breakfast. Hair was all over the bathroom floor. And every fixture needed a good wipe off. Rooms were average but had no cover over the duvet cover. It was gross.
