Hotel is located in the heart of Anchorage. We walked all around. Went to Humpys for crab and it was great. Walked to Fire Island Rustic Bakeshop and it was excellent. Coffee and tea available in lobby and rooms were nice and clean.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Captain Cook!! The staff was helpful, the room was great and the restaurants offered amazing food.

The hotel is fine. It feels more of a historical visit and a view of the state's business state, than a resort or a vacation hotel. It has 3 towers with rooms and many conference/meeting rooms, as well as a few restaurants/bars. It is walking distance to many of site restaurants and bars, as well as the Anchorage conference center and downtown. There are gyms in the building (one for men and one fro women, based on door labels - never checked them) Check in was fine, but front desk was not friendly any time that I interacted with them. Room was spacious and clean. It had the usual offered: TV, refrigerator, microwave, seating area, desk. The advantage of being high enough and facing west, I was able to see the sunset. The WiFi was horrible - never working and I end up using my mobile hot-spot. There are city parking all around, so easy to park a car. For the room price and the quality of the room/service, I will not stay there again if I can avoid it.

We stayed here with Princess cruises, and despite our rooms connecting on the cruise ship, we were placed on different floors here. Aesthetically, the rooms looked nice enough. However, our toilet/shower/sink was leaking for the duration of our stay. We had to line the floor with towels, which kind of took away from our experience. The location was fine, as was the noise level and overall atmosphere. We just didn't have a great stay.
