It was great. Captain Cook is a little expensive for me. However, the bed was extremely comfortable, room was quiet, and I loved the sauna. I was not impressed that valet parking was in a local parking garage where anyone can access my vehicle.

It was very nice and clean . We stayed here because we were attending an event in the area and decided to make a date out of it . Should offer better parking rate for the nearest garage, it was quite expensive to park during our stay.

The lobby and dining areas were nice, but for how expensive the rooms are… you’d think they’d be updated and not feel so out of the 80s.

The property is beautiful and is a very nice, historic hotel. We were unimpressed with checkin. The front desk told me to find a bellhop but none were available and I didn’t know where to even wait. There weren’t any options to get a cart to transport all of our bags without a bellhop, so we had to struggle with our bags and 2 kids. It’s a very large hotel and we didn’t know where to go to get to our room. When I asked the front desk, I got a short, incorrect, response. My husband got the same. No one was going out of their way to help us. At that point I’d have rather been at a 3 star hotel where they set it up so you can help yourselves more conveniently. We also weren’t prepared for such a large parking fee - even without valet we’d be paying 30-50 dollars a night. And if you forego the valet, then you’re left walking in downtown from the parking garage to the hotel. This information wasn’t really available prior to getting there - it wasn’t even super clear where you were supposed to enter the hotel. So it was just confusing and stressful checking in initially. The pool is very small and cold with no hot tub but the locker room was VERY nice with great service. I wish there was more kid friendly dining available, but the food was very good. Overall, it wasn’t any better than a cheaper hotel. We’ll be trying something different next year.

We were celebrating our 20th year anniverssary and was told that this was a great place to get a room for a few nights. 1-the staff at the front desk came off as though they were bothered that we were checking in, they were not very easy to approach, except for the guy over a bit from the front desk who was giving information, he was very nice. You really should seperate the ratings for the front desk and other staff. 2-the room was not as grand as we were told (I booked the "deluxe" king size room, guess I didn't pay enough?) The bathroom was quite small. Walls were very, very, VERY thin (I heard neighbors across the hall having a "great time"). 3-the staff in the breakfast area were awesome. I just expected a little more from a hotel that was given Great reviews..........if I wanted to hear people across the hall, I would have gone to a motel....for our next milestone, will be booking elsewhere.

The Cook this time of year is used by flight crews on overnights, and lawyers with matters at the state courthouses across the street. Federal Court is a bit of a walk.

Service was very good. Front office run really well the front office manager. I think his name was Ross I could be wrong was amazing really helped us out with room service which was really messed up by the way don’t count on Fletchers. Their small and overcrowded housekeeping was amazing, clean, detailed we asked for extra towels, extra coffee, extra creamers she was very responsive and so was the housekeeping, main line as was the maid the restaurant for breakfast I forget the name was amazing. The servers are all teammates, helping each other. It was great food great service.

Service was very good but several issues. All of which I had read before, answered online by a manager, and never corrected. 1) the day of checkout at 8 am after one light knock the cleaning crew woke us by opening the door. Seems to be a very common issue. Front desk should come up with a better system for telling the cleaning crew which rooms are already vacant. 8 am barge ins are unreasonable 2)24/7 loud noise heard through earplugs which kept us from properly sleeping. Air duct? Elevator? Again a problem I read about in many prior reviews. Still a problem 3)captain cook is not a historical figure I celebrate as “discovering” lands native populations had loved on thousands of years prior to his arrival. Didn’t bother me enough to not stay here. I was not prepared however for the large murals covering many walls that depict aboriginal and native people in a cartoonish and less than human way. Maybe reproductions from historical books but they have no place in a hotel common area in this day and age. A textbook, museum? As a teaching moment maybe for a dark past? Not in a hotel. It bothered me to the point of anger the first night. We will come, and never return. However I feel for the staff who have to pass these every day. 4) hotel pool specifically listed as family friendly. It’s very clear that it’s only a lap pool. Furthermore they separate boys from girks, including kids who are told to enter on their own on opposite ends of the floor. Luckily a staff member…

The hotel is very tired and is in desperate need of a renovation. My biggest issue was that housekeeping knocked on the door three times after we checked in trying to come in. The next morning, someone barged in at 8:15 AM unannounced. She claimed she knocked, but if so it was too light to hear. I found that rather ridiculous as if they were trying to get us out of the room early to get ready for the next round of guests. For what we paid, this hotel was a huge rip off. The furniture in the room was sagging and I just did not feel clean in the room.

Nice hotel, very clean, but EXPENSIVE for such a small room and breakfast not included. I wanted to explore the shops and galleries, but they all closed early. The place is huge, kind of a maze. My kids were excited there was a pool, but when we went down there, it was very clear that this was not a family pool, as it was part of the athletic club and set up for lap swims. Also, I had to go to the pool with my girls even though I wasn't swimming, because the men's and women's locker rooms are on opposite sides of the hotel (and then meet in the middle at the pool), so I couldn't just send them down with my husband, or they would have gotten lost trying to find the women's area by themselves. We were happy with our stay, but not sure the cost was worth it for only one night.

First I was given a room with no view. As a first time customer that got flew into town late, if there’s a room with a nice view available, why not suggest it instead of just giving a view of the parking lot? One can get the same view at a fraction of the cost of you’re just going to see a parking lot. I had asked for a late check out, which they put in the notes but at 8am housekeeping came in my room and woke me up! Bathroom mirror was missing hardware and barely hanging onto the wall. Absolute terrible experience! Will not be staying there again. Don’t waste your money.

You are staying in an art gallery and museum to Captain Cook, the renowned British mariner. Aside from the many varied dining options, the spa is well staffed with a good swimming pool. My sister gave me an excellent recommendation.
