"An ideal downtown location, recently remodeled rooms and a bright and elegant interior make this gay-friendly inn one of the best top-end places in Anchorage." Full review
Fodor's
"This location offers the best of both worlds: it's walkable to everything worth seeing in Downtown, but it's on the quiet end of Fifth Avenue, right next to a small park and the 11-mile Coastal Trail." Full review
Frommer's
"The inn is essentially a small, boutique hotel with rooms in two buildings separated by a water garden. Close to all the downtown attractions, the inn is just a block away from the coastal trail" Full review
