This is such a nice hotel the moment you enter it it just feels so comfortable. The rooms are spacious and quiet. Never heard anybody next-door to me. The coffee shop is divine the cutest way to start your morning when you’re not really craving a big breakfast from the restaurant inside the hotel ...

Hotel Captain Cook
Everything was great except the room heater which we couldn't lower. Had to open window which wasn't easy to open and even harder to close.

Sheraton Anchorage Hotel
The hotel was undergoing some renovations. The TVs were not working on either night of my stay. If the TVs had been Smart TVs connected to the internet, the issue could have been avoided. It's difficult to say what the rating would be after the renovations.
