Hotel and bedding were very good for a quick overnight stay for us.
Pros:

Arrived late and service in the restaurant was slow and food options and quality a bit lacking.

Cons:

Service was very slow, we were asked to sit at a table in the bar because it was close to closing time and service would be better. We sat at a table I. The bar area and service was slow and did not meet expectations

Anchorage stay.
Pros:

Generous sized room, clean. Short walk to main street shops.

Cons:

Very long walk to our room making it difficult to wheel luggage over the carpeted hallways. Our room faced the Port which was noisy with train traffic.

Excellent
Pros:

This property is brilliant. It’s clean. It’s spotless. It’s well run. It’s well maintained and frankly put some of the other well-known hotels in Anchorage to shame. Well done to everybody that works here. It’s a great place to stay.

Cons:

Great place, close to restaurants, bars and the train station
Pros:

Location was great close to the train station. Close to restaurants and bars. The staff was friendly and helpful with directions. The breakfast in the restaurant was good.

Cons:

The price of the hotel but we needed to remember the cost of things in Alaska are more than any other US city. Also the price of the USD to CDN was also a factor. So this really is not the hotel fault.

Pleasant surprise.
Pros:

We booked this hotel at the last minute partially because American Airlines offered several thousand miles for the stay. It turns out this hotel is a very modern and hip lodging. The one drawback is trying to find your way around in the halls, it is a virtual maze of staircases and elevators. It was great to have parking behind the hotel and the $15 daily rate was very reasonable. The room was clean and well stocked, even had glass glasses, instead of cheap plastic cups.

Pros:

Centrally located

Cons:

Our room was very noisy and it adversely affected our sleep. We were in the wing closest to railroad stations and terminus. As the result, we were most impacted by the trains blowing their horns all night. More could be done by the hotel to use triple glazing or other sound insulation measures for those rooms exposed to that noise.
