All the Room's need upgrading and remodeling for the cost of the Rooms! I would never spend the $$$ they ask for 1 night in this Historic Hotel. The prices are way too expensive when there is very minimal comfort to the Rooms.

Make sure to use . when booking any place. This web site will compare thousands of booking websites and usually will have prices a lot cheaper compared to others! Thank me later on! This hotel is the best rated in this area. I've been coming here for a very long time. If you choose this place you definitely won't be disappointed.
Loved staying at the Captain Cook Hotel. Workers were so friendly and helpful in every possible way. The gym is one of the best I've ever seen in a hotel as well. Pool, sauna, steam room all were perfect. Look forward to staying again

My friend and I had trouble checking in for a one night stay. After a fifteen minute wait for the front desk to find our reservation we went up to our room where we found another family!!! The mother of this family had identical key cards to me and my friend. Her children were also in the room. A huge safety issue and privacy violation on both our ends. We went back down to the front desk to get the situation sorted and find out that they booked her into OUR room. No IDs were checked in the process of the check in, leaving both of our parties vulnerable. After then entire debacle we werent even

Dont stay here! Came to stay overnight on New Years and see the fireworks that are within view of the hotel. Tried to make a reservation online and called 20 minutes later to confirm only to be blown off and told to wait for email confirmation. No email confirmation was sent to me. Called a second time and had to painstakingly make a reservation over the phone. I came to the hotel in the evening of December 31 to check in, only to be met with a stressful situation as the front desk had trouble locating my reservation. This was due to negligence of the front desk staff and booking a family I

For the price I don't feel it's worth it. You have to pay for parking which is 30 dollars a day in the parking garage across the street or find a meter and pay. They have a valet which is the same as parking in the garage. The biggest issue we had with our stay of 4 nights is that on the second day we put our clean room sign up at 8 am. When we came back at 930 that night the room had not been cleaned at all. We left it for the next day, still no room service. If I'm paying 190 dollars a night (that includes parking) then I expect at the very least for my room to be refreshed when I followed the

Service is consistently friendly and rooms are always clean. The past two times I've stayed here the room's safe hasn't worked. After reporting this to hotel maintenance they addressed it within minutes both times.

Beautiful hotel great staff and the rooms are amazing! Gorgeous shops on the main level especially Stephen fine arts! I love that gallery they have some of the most beautiful pieces in Alaska with the best staff ever! The hotel is clean and very nice! The artwork throughout the entire hotel is purely Alaskan and I especially love the beds in the rooms they are so comfortable. The view from the rooms are amazing especially if you get one looking out over the ocean or even the city and the mountains. The pool is clean and the banquet rooms are huge! I would definitely recommend visiting during Christmas
