I like the location close to trains and right on a bike path with Ship's Creek racing along just outside.
The rooms were as promised and were in reasonable condition (except for the one nearest the front desk that had clearly been smoked in - in a smoke free property)
Breakfast - not stellar but adequate appeared as promised. the breakfast room was always very hot and smelled of past meals.
The airport pick-up was as promised, prompt and pleasant.
Worst aspect of this was the front desk staff. They just couldn't process people into rooms and showed zero energy to make anything happen. There was a pack of "waddlers" on the desk - if you asked any question they waddled away to somewhere else (back of the desk area) to consult with others (?) or possibly just to look like they were doing something and then waddled back about the pace of dying duck usually to tell you they didn't know. We had booked as a block of about 30 rooms, they'd been paid, they'd been sent our manifest (and every other Alaskan property had our keys and room details ready simply to hand out) they'd been asked to have the room keys / room assignments done but they couldn't cope. They particularly struggled with reservations for anyone who had booked additional nights prior to or after our tour. This property needs to hire better or do better training or something. I wouldn't choose it again.

We needed a hotel close to the railroad, and this is certainly the best choice as you don't need a shuttle -- it is easy block or so walk to the railroad depot from the hotel (shorter distance than when we slogged our luggage in the airport to the check in desk!!!! - much shorter). We booked this because it had shuttle service to the railroad, and didn't realize that it was so close and pretty much a level walk, whereas many of the other close hotels have an impossibly huge hill to traverse up or down and I wouldn't have done that. It was also right on Ship Creek which was a nice walk in the evening. The hotel itself needs some work - it hasn't been kept up well, but it was adequate. We had a room with two beds, and the one we slept in was horrible, but we didn't figure it out until morning that the other bed was decent. It can be noisy with the train, but that didn't bother us. Breakfast was included and that was adequate and with the cost of food in Anchorage it was a bonus even at adequate. I wouldn't have given the hotel three stars except that the location is hard to beat. We stayed two different nights as we arrived and departed on the train. There is a free shuttle to the airport also which saved us about $40.

Hotel itself was satisfactory, but was awoke very night with loud train horns starting very early in the morning.
Rooms were hot & stuffy. Aircon noisy.
Ok for insomaniacs but not me.

My elderly parents and I stayed in this hotel for one night in between the Fairbanks-Anchorage and Anchorage-Seward trips on the Alaska Railroad. Its greatest advantage is its proximity to the Alaska Railroad. While a shuttle is available to meet railroad passengers--a service that was very timely and convenient in our case--the property is also so close to the train depot that many people could walk very easily. Whereas walking to many other downtown Anchorage hotels from the train station would involve chugging up a long staircase, the walk to this one is short and flat.

The hotel itself is nothing to rave about, though the front desk staff were very friendly and professional, and hot cookies were available upon our arrival. The self-serve breakfast area was convenient as well. The rooms were spacious, but showed considerable wear. I'd recommend a different hotel for those that plan to spend time in Anchorage--the same staircase that I saw train passengers climbing would also await anybody seeking to explore downtown--but for people that just want a convenient stop in between trains, this is a very convenient choice.
