7.6/10

My stay at the hotel was lovely. The Cuba room, though not large, had a beautiful carved bed, an antique desk, and delightful decorations from Cuba. The room was clean, tidy, and equipped with all the necessities. It was smaller than I expected, but I was pleased with it overall.

Service

9.0

The service was excellent. The staff, including the manager, were very friendly, accommodating, and genuinely concerned with ensuring a pleasant stay.

Location

7.0

The location was good, with a unique vibe between Africa and Brazil. The Native American oral tradition reflected in the architecture added to the charm of the place.

Dining

7.0

The dining experience was varied, with a selection of muffins, coffee, toast, jam, and cereal around a communal table in the morning. However, the absence of high-quality items like 'French pressed coffee' or 'hand-cut oatmeal' was noticeable.

Facilities

7.0

The facilities were satisfactory, though there was room for improvement in the kitchen area.

I absolutely loved the unique vibe of the rooms, which immediately gave me a sense of peace. At around $90 US, it's a great value for Alaska in the summer. The size of the room exceeded my expectations, and I enjoyed the rustic cabin feel. However, the room was quite bright, so I had to sleep with a mask.

The hotel is located mid-town, central to various attractions like Costo, downtown, theaters, and restaurants. It felt safe with good dining options nearby and convenient bus links to downtown.

Dining

5.0

The dining experience was lacking, with almost non-existent options and a disappointing kitchen setup. It fell short of expectations in terms of quality and variety.
