Excellent hotel choice. We just stayed there in August. Head's up there will be some street noise as it is a city hotel-the CPAP machine will probably drown it out. Hotel breakfast is pretty good but if you want a waffle don't take one from the ready-made pile-have it cooked to order. I still consider your itinerary a lot ambitious but enjoy!
With the caveat that I've been up close and personal with bears as much as I want and that I don't understand the general fascination with bear viewing, Katmai (that area in general) is THE place to go for bear viewing.
You answered your own question. YOU have been up close and personal with bears-not everyone has been that lucky. They are magnificent, beautiful but intimidating creatures that most of us will only see by doing the bear-viewing outings. I have seen black bears, brown bears, grizzlies and Kodiaks, some via bear-viewing platforms, some just in my travels in the outdoors. All of been rewarding and exciting. If all goes well my bucket list item of seeing North American polar bears in the wild will be fulfilled next year. No viewing platform, just a boat.
Have been to Katmai-you'll love it.
