On both nights I had to call the front desk and request that they ask people hanging out in the lobby to quiet down without success. Also, Upon arrival, the bathroom tub had hair in it, there was small hair on the pillow cases and a long hair on the sheet. Disgusting!!

The hotel is nice and the location is outstanding. It is easy to walk to the Alaska Sealife Center and to all of the downtown shops and restaurants, plus the shuttle picks up in front of the Sealife Center if you want to go anywhere else. The parking was free but there is no lot at the hotel - street parking near the hotel is available plus two small lots down the block. Parking was not an issue during my stay.
