Arrived here by chartered bus transfer with many other passengers thru Princess Cruises from the airport without trouble. Room keys were given without having to go to the front desk which was a plus given the number of buses arriving. We were able to proceed directly to the room which we found quite comfortable. Bags arrived within the hour from... More

We stayed 3 nights in this hotel prior to our Alaska cruise with Princess. Although a bit pricey, it was worth it. It was clean, comfortable (the bed) and roomy. Plus we walked everywhere because of the location. The coastal walk was so pretty and invigorating!They have a couple of good restaurants in the hotel and a good sundries store.... More

We stayed at the Captain Cook in Anchorage for 3 nights and had a wonderful stay. The Captain Cook Hotel is in the heart of downtown Anchorage and within easy walking distance of most of the restaurants. Anchorage itself is a relatively quiet place and if you are not planning any of the trips in Alaska, such as the wildlife... More

We enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Captain Cook en route to more northerly regions of Alaska. We stayed here as part of a Princess Cruise Line package, and it was the nicest of the hotels at which we stayed. We enjoyed our room and the ambiance of the hotel in general, and the shops and public areas were also... More

Stayed here on way to Alaskan Land and Cruise tour. Rooms were nice and clean, beds excellent, very central in Anchorage, close to shops and restaurants. Ate Continental type breakfast here which was very good. Ate out at Glacier Brewery close by, which was typical American food and O Sullivans further down street, this didn't look much from outside but... More

Dear gkbrownie, Thank you for staying at The Hotel Captain Cook. What a great review. The "very very nice Hotel" part really made me smile. Being a privately owned property our reputation is everything. Challenging ourselves to provide better accommodations, service, and overall guest experience is something that we look forward to always reaching for a higher bar. AK is... More

The Hotel Captain Cook is a classic style hotel with darker wood in the lobby and larger room than most hotel that have been built recently. The room had a good view of the surrounding mountains, the room was clean and the bed incredibly comfortable. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the restaurant food and service was very good.... More

We are staying here today as a result of a layover between cruise. The bathroom toilet was not cleaned and there was dried urine on the toilet seat. Second class hotel, bad elevators, wouldn't ever stay here again. We are kind of a captive audience with Princess cruises. Room darkening shades do not really darken the room. John S.

Dear Johnsa01, Thank you for staying at The Hotel Captain Cook. We appreciate your review and I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your stay. All rooms should be 100% clean all the time and this will get fixed immediately. The elevators are being updated to brand new 2013/2104 models which will increase the overall quality.

Stayed here on a layover mid February. It's older but a really cool hotel with easy access to nearby restaurants if you don't want to eat in the hotel. The elevators are kinda slow but it's a big hotel so one might expect that. The staff was really great and so were the beds. They're extremely comfortable and a plus... More
