The Chop House steak restaurant right on the premises is excellent with breathtaking views. Our room on the first floor has been renovated and was very comfortable. Fridge and coffee maker.

This was by far the worst hotel experience I've ever had. Not only was the room dirty, smelly, and…read morepoorly maintained, but the staff was unbelievably rude. I was verbally abused by an employee Neil, and even threatened to be physically removed from the lobby just for voicing my concerns. That is completely unacceptable for any business, let alone a hotel where guests are supposed to feel safe and welcomed. The Wi-Fi didn't work, hot water was inconsistent, and noise made it impossible to sleep. This place is a nightmare, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Stay away.

As you can imagine, flying to Anchorage, every few months or so, can get expensive when you have to have a hotel room and a car. One of the ways I tried to lessen the impact of the travel, is getting a package deal with a car hotel and flight. Usually I get a good deal and the hotel is nice and the car is fine, however this time the hotel was not OK. I got to the hotel and was charged early check in fee of $40, which was OK with me because I was going to take a shower and get ready for doctors appointment. However upon checking in, going up to the room, I found it was dirty and very rundown. But the worst part was they didn't even provide a real bed! Just a queen sized mattress on a camping cot frame!! I had to leave and stay t another location. Because I booked through Expedia, they couldn't refund my money. I left anyway.

But, the room wasn't the cleanest, and there was low water pressure in the shower. The towels were dirty too! The shampoo and conditioner was half used in the bottle already too. It was very expensive as well. Just clean those things up and this could be a 5 star!

The room was spacious and even had a little kitchenette area. Oh and there was a little balcony too with 2 chairs that you could sit and enjoy the view of the little lake. The bed was comfy. The blinds didn't keep out ALL the light but did a pretty good job. I had a sleep mask. The WiFi worked well, no problems. The staff was friendly. Note, there's no elevator so if you are on the 2nd floor you need to haul your luggage up the stairs. The property has a restaurant (Everett's) which has several areas to it... a finer dining section (indoors) with white table cloths, and indoor bar area and an outdoor patio overlooking the lake. The restaurant is not open for breakfast. It also looks like the property has an event space that also looks out towards the lake. I would definitely stay here again if we were in the area on our own.

My one complaint was that my room was next to the outside door, and I could hear that door open and close throughout the evening.

The room wasn't very big but it had two full size beds, a nice bathroom and kitchenette. We had free wifi and a tv. It was very clean overall and we were quite comfortable. An extra blanked could have been handy but to be fair I didn't look for one. I would surely stay again when I have to stay there again. We got a good price for the room and no other could beat that in the area.

My family and I were looking for extended-stay lodging from Feb 1st - April 1st 2021. We were…read moremoving to Alaska from the lower 48, and needed a place to live while in the process of purchasing a house. I had contacted Karen Harris, the owner of Alaska Garden Gate BnB, in December 2020 and secured our reservation for an extended stay. Karen informed me in late January 2021 that it was possible the property would sell during our reservation dates, but that she was doing everything she could to ensure current guests could stay as long as possible, and that future reservations were honored. We checked into the Cottonwood Cottage on Feb. 1st. 2021 with no problems. During our stay, we were given notice that both property appraisals and inspections were taking place and were asked for our patience and understanding. I had email Karen multiple times to clarify our reservation and status of the property's ownership. Karen again responded that the contract and sale had not been finalized and she would let me know. On the morning of February 10th, Karen called to informed me that we needed to vacate the property within 24 hrs due to the sale of the property. Karen stated that the new owners were not going to continue with a BnB business, and that they required all long-term tenants and short terms guests to leave immediately. We complied with the abrupt request and thankfully found alternative lodging the same day. However, we were subsequently charged extra nights through Feb 13th. While a refund was provided for those extra nights; based on Alaska Garden Gate BnB's February 19th Facebook post, they are actively taking reservations through March 16th. While Alaska Garden Gate BnB will no longer be an active business come March 16th, I would not recommend any individual to do current or future business with an owner and company who treats their guests with such blatant disrespect and deceit.

We checked before arriving in, on check-in timings and other details to make sure we get the keys and other things in case if we get delayed. We took room for 4 people, so it came with double bunk beds with one bottom queen with rest single beds. Room was decent side with modern bathroom in an apartment style. Also, it came with shared kitchen with table, microwave and coffee maker. Dining hall was set up in a ballroom environment with round tables and chairs around it. Also, outdoor dining area is also available. Homemade breakfast is served: * hot oatmeal and blueberries with additional side toppings available - nuts, almonds, sugar, raisins and cranberries - loved it ! * egg omelette with potato stuffed - again loved it * muffins - not well cooked, felt like it was under baked and needs more cooking Other than that, regular store-bought bread with butter, jam was also served. The only complaint is in the morning there were too much noise as rooms are layed out next to each other with very little space which can be annoying if you decide to sleep in little more than others, we can hear people shouting and bathroom noise as well. We would totally come in here any time during our next Alaska trip and recommend it to others.
