Cast off and set sail around Cook Inlet. Feel the refreshing sea breeze whipping through your hair as you take in those sensational views.

Often it's the places that don't cost a thing that make the best travel memories. And you'll likely make a few at this free inlet along the shoreline in Northeast Anchorage. When you've experienced all you can at Cook Inlet, head in the direction of Sullivan Arena, Anchorage 5th Avenue Mall and Anchorage Museum.

8.8/10 Excellent! (1,009 reviews)

Some rooms have been updated and are fairly nice. The rooms that have not been updated are worn and tired. Rooms can be noisy….especially the pipes when neighbors run the water. The stopper in our tub did not close so we couldn’t take a bath. Some windows don’t open properly. We did not have luggage racks so opened our suitcases on the floor. Parking is scarce so folks drive around and around looking for a space. Attention to detail is sorely lacking. At half the price, this would have been a decent value.
