Too. Many. Trains.
Pros:

The bed was clean!

Cons:

Too much noise. The bathroom wasn't very clean. The walk from checkin to the room was a mile. The water pressure cut out during my shower.

Cons:

Tive uma péssima experiência com o Hotel. Tínhamos reservado pelo Booking 2 quartos King (com vista) com algumas semanas de antecedência. Chegamos em Anchoragem 12 AM e ao fazer o check in no Hotel tivemos diversas surpresas. Ficamos cerca de 1h no lobby até conseguirmos a primeira chave, a atendente disse que estavam com problemas no sistema porém viemos a descobrir que eles não tinham quartos disponiveis. Para nossa surpresa quando fomos até um dos quartos havíamos hospedes lá, isso por volta de 1h da manhã!! Tivemos que voltar ao lobby e ficamos mais tempo esperando, quiseram nos colocar em um quarto com sofa cama ao invés do king que reservamos.

Conseguimos acesso aos quartos apenas por volta das 2h da manhã. Foi a primeira vez que passei por isso. Provavelmente fizeram overbooked e não dão valor aos hospedes que reservam pelo Booking.

Great Experience
Pros:

My experience with World of Hyatt at The Wildbirch Hotel was excellent. The staff consistently provided friendly, professional, and attentive service that made me feel welcomed and valued as a guest.

I would especially like to recognize Manuel at the Front Desk for his warm hospitality and helpfulness, Akenese from Housekeeping for maintaining a clean and comfortable room throughout my stay, Nick / Alex at the Bell Desk for his friendly assistance, and Kira from the Front Desk (I may have the spelling slightly wrong) for her outstanding customer service and positive attitude.

The team worked together to create a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and their dedication to guest satisfaction was evident throughout my visit. Thank you to everyone at The Wildbirch Hotel for making my stay memorable.

Great
Pros:

Location great to catch a train .

Downtown location so surrounding run down
Clean warm

Cons:

Breakfast opens at 6 while you have to leave the hotel at 5.50 to catch the train to Seward .

A lot of hotel guests catch that train so some flexibility will help

We wasted our breakfast coupons
