My family and I had a lovely stay at this hotel EXCEPT for the location of our room. We selected this hotel as a real surprise for our children. It was a trip for all of us to do Christmas shopping and enjoy a few days in Anchorage. A lovely room with a small kitchen area and a separate bedroom and sitting area. There is a hotel swimming pool, workout room, and made to order breakfasts. What a treat for our family. We did have a wonderful time except that by evening a rhythmic banging noise entered our room and continued for hours late into the night. Calling the front desk we were told that it was probably the wedding reception that was occurring on the first floor. Ok, we thought, we don't want to put a sour note on someone's wedding so we put up with it. I was finally able to fall asleep several hours into the drumming or loud bass strumming. Sadly the next night there was no wedding and the same thing happened. We discovered that our room on the second floor was right above an area on the first floor that is one very busy nighttime spot. More music with a DJ and more rhythmic pounding. The second night was even louder. We had to turn up the volume on the TV to hear the show we were trying to watch. I finally gave up and stopped watching, covered the pillow over my ears and tried to fall asleep. Not an enjoyable evening. If I stay again at this hotel I will make a point of reserving a room far away from the first floor room rental. Other than the very loud nighttime noise the hotel was lovely. Great parking, very polite staff, great breakfasts, lovely room, lousy soundproofing!
