Just a PS- they were shooting a movie with Nicolas Cage and John Cusak near the Sheraton when I was there, and BOTH stars staying at Captain Cook. (Another reason I made a good change.) I got a glimpse of Cusak in the gym (Cage was there, too but out of my sightline) and being a gal who grew up in the 80's, have to admit it was a special Birthday thrill. I wanted to see a boom box in his hands blasting "Happy Birthday," LOL!
And yes, I agree about keeping things consistent. My Sheraton Anchorage stay felt like a generic "I don't care" kind of hotel, and that's just not right. But I did the right thing and left, and I don't care how many points I lost. I got to see John Cusak!
