SpringHill Suites gives you a living area and a free hot breakfast, and asks you to be 21. It's all suites, with a microwave and mini-fridge, an indoor pool and whirlpool, a restaurant on site and free parking.
Marriott says the airport shuttle is gone, so ANC, about 4 miles by its count, is a cab or a rideshare.
Breakfast starts at 6:30 AM on weekdays and 7 AM on weekends — fine for a drive south, too late for the 6:45 AM train. Seward is about 124 road miles away, our estimate.
Book it if you're driving and want the guest laundry after the cruise; skip it if anyone checking in is under 21.
