The problem with the Captain Cook is the variation in rooms even within the same price range. Gads! By mid-season (tourist that is) all of the hotels in ANC get worn out and weary.
The prices, however, don't go down.
Mobs of cruise ship passengers just stay where they are booked so the parade carries on.
Both the Hilton and the Sheraton go back to the pipeline days. Well, I guess the CC does as well.
If you don't expect much, you won't be disappointed.
