Over all great for our short stay.

Staff was friendly. Check in was quick and easy. Room was nice and spacious. Clean. Good water pressure. Always had hot water. Beds comfortable. Fluffy pillows. 2 down sides. #1 if you use their shuttle service don’t expect them to open any doors or help with your luggage. Your on your own, so be able to lift your own stuff. #2 was the room smell. It was a little musty. But considering it’s Alaska things are probably always a bit on the moist side so that is what the smell was like for me. Not unbearable but noticeable. It’s convenient to the airport and train station but an expensive uber ride into down town. Expect about $25-30 each way with tip.

The staff was fantastic and very accommodating! The location is close to the airport and just a short walk to a Fred Myers. The continental breakfast was plentiful, however the water for tea & hot choc was not hot enough. The room and bathroom were very clean but the sleeping area was way too small for the price of over $200.
