5 Star Hotel
This is an absolutely wonderful hotel with the most fantistic view from the top floor of their restaurant. Spa, Olympic size pool, fabulous gift shops.

Great Experience
Visited for the first time on Iditarod weekend. Despite it being probably the busiest winter weekend, service was top-notch all around - doorman, front desk, room service, retaurants, shops, even maid service (never saw a cart in the hallways - they must pull into rooms - nice touch!). I had a 16th floor junior suite in Tower 3 and was very pleased - living room area had windows on two sides, allowing view east down 4th towards the race start, and the bay to the North and West. Was great to watch the dog teams starting to arrive and determine when to go down and mingle pre-race. Bedroom was completely separate and of good size with ample closet space and a refrigerator. Bathroom was a bit small (keep in mind this hotel was built in 60's & 70's), but made great use of the space by having full mirrors above the counters on two walls. Can lamp lighting wasn't great for putting on makeup, but with all the windows there was plenty of natural light elsewhere. Deeper than average tub (in separate room with toilet) and waterfall showerhead. Nice heavy terry robes provided. Living room was also good sized, with sofa, armchair, round table with 2 chairs, desk, and built-in dry bar. Room decor looked fairlyy new, in earth tones in keeping with the hotels decor. Some reviewers call in dark, but I like the hotel's character with the dark teak and large public areas and shop promenades. It's kind of a throwback to a different hotel era. I stay in enough generic Hyatt/Marriott/Radisson type hotels to appreciate a different personality. And for all the whiners who complain about no A/C - it's Alaska!! I live in Seattle and most of us don't have A/C! There are ceiling fans in bedroom and living room, and a portable Vortex-type fan in the closet, and some of the windows crank open. If you're visiting during a RARE heat weave, just ask for an east-facing room.
