Top Carlson Center Event Arena Hotel Reviews

Pike's Waterfront Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my stay at Pike’s Place Landing. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming throughout my stay. Everything felt easy and pleasant, and I felt well taken care of. I’d happily stay here again!"

Best Western Plus Pioneer Park Inn

8/10 Good

"Not close to any restaurant or shopping."

Bridgewater Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"They really need to have at least a continental breakfast since we did not see any place closeby to get that. Otherwise we enjoyed the property and they were very helpful in getting us to the Alaskan Railroad Depot on time."

10/10 Excellent

"Brian was pretty invisible, which is what I generally like. Plus he informed us ahead of time that he would be out of town during our stay. But he reached out when it mattered, texting to let us know that the northern lights were visible. Going above and beyond in my opinion. After check out, my husband realized that he didn’t know where his passport was. Brian allowed us to go into the apartment to search for it. He continued to text every few days to see if we found it and seemed almost as happy as we were when it finally showed up hidden in my husband’s luggage."

Cozy, quiet centrally located one bedroom

8/10 Good
