Old school hotel with a lot of character. Comfortable with good room amenities and an amazing view of the mountains behind the city. Food & drinks: Situated within walking distance of many good eats.
I stayed here with my partner the weekend of the 2024 Iditarod. The rooms are lovely and clean, with an air of classic luxury. My experience was ruined by the segregation of the men’s and women’s athletic clubs. I’m a competitive athlete. Training is a huge part of my identity, and I often pick hotels based on the quality of the hotel gym. Although this hotel has an impressive collection of cybex machines, barbells, and a squat rack, women aren’t allowed to access any of it. The co-Ed gym space is a laughable collection of cardio machines, some dumbbells, and a smith machine. The women’s area is a crowded and dingy assortment of weights up to 40lbs, a cable apparatus, and cardio machines. I was forced to ask male gym goers for help with retrieving simple equipment. I have never felt so helpless in my life, and my confidence and self-efficacy was shattered. The 60’s-era boy’s club sexism is appalling and infuriating. What’s worse, the athletic club mostly caters to members from the community. The selfish placement of heavy equipment in the men’s area is a disservice to all females members seeking to get stronger and healthier, completely discounting the new era of women’s gym culture. Whoever organized the athletic club layout should be ashamed. At least put unique equipment in the co-Ed area, so everyone has access. I will not be staying here again.
Not a good experience. No hot water in the shower what? Television did not work all weekend. There was little to no complimentary service, no breakfast no in room microwave. Overall below standards
The hotel staff were extremely accommodating during a difficult time. Good service still does exist.
Visited the lobby café and met my brother visiting from out of town for coffee. Café staff were very helpful and attentive. The ginger cookies were fabulous!
Great service, location, and GREAT VIEWS. Family had a blast. Worth the money.
