10/10 Exceptional

We had a corner room, which gave us nice views of the water. The hotel suite was clean and comfortable. The blackout curtains would’ve been if they closed all the way. Dinner at Fletcher‘s was terrific and breakfast at The Pantry was good too.The hotel is large, so you might be far from guest services and the front door.

6/10 Good

Our Alaskan cruise required an overnight (due to connections/transfers to ship. Captain Cook was their preferred hotel for luggage. Outrageous rates - Paid over $615 plus tax for an overnight at a sub par hotel (small basic room). Breakfast was extremely crowded due to cruise ship crowds, but nice staff and decent breakfast

6/10 Good

Very likely upscale and nice 10+years ago. Many places are in need up an overhaul it upgrade. Especially the guest rooms. The pool area isn’t functional at all for children and that was disappointing. We ate at Fletchers twice and it was great, and the service was even better. The art galleries were amazing! Service was great. Definitively needs some updating though.
