I arrived late (after 11 pm) from a long drive-only to discover children running up and down hallway without supervision. Reported it to front desk, but about 15-20 minutes later again, children running around. I asked if there are quiet hours at the hotel, but was informed by front desk they didn't know. I was right in front of the elevator - so there was added traffic after midnight and around 6am...so limited sleep in that room. One thing I would have appreciated was a door hanger that says something to the effect of "Quiet please - weary traveller at rest"...I know when I see these door hangers, I try to be extra mindful to be quieter. As for the children, perhaps parents need to see visuals of "Parents, please ensure your children do not roam or run in hallways" or something for all guests posted in the elevator to say "Welcome Guests, you will be happy to know that quiet hours are 11 pm so that you and all guests can enjoy a restful sleep". Finally, came to take a bath this morning - and my tub had a ring around it. I used the hotel make up wipes and my own make up wipes to clean it and sure enough...there was grime on the wipes. :S If hotel staff cannot clean the tub properly, then please offer to provide Clorox wipes for guests at check in to wipe their own tubs. Room had a strange smell - but was too tired to put this in to front desk. I had to use my spray to mask the smell. This said, otherwise rest of room was clean, sheets clean, bed comfy and towels clean.

They advertise free parking. But they have no parking. Parking is on the street. You pay the meter until 5:30, so you don’t get a ticket. For the amount they charge for the room, this is unacceptable.

There is no early or any breakfast provided. The one we stayed in in Anchorage provided a nourishing breakfast on the house. Not impressed with Gold Rush Inn.
