Wingate by Wyndham Anchorage Downtown/Ship Creek
The room was loud with a train waking me up several times a night. The location was not really walkable and the potholes were bad. The exterior was nice but the room was not great. Parking was free, and breakfast was included.

Wyndham Garden Anchorage Airport
Very skimpy on towels. Sitting on the Toilet seat was like a carnival ride. Coffee maker in the room, 2 decaf pods but no cups, sugar, etc. Bfast was mediocre. And everyone was tossed out of the Bfast room at exactly 9 AM. Druggies on the premises. One inside the stairwell.
