The Lakefront Anchorage

Nice hotel around the corner from the airport. Shuttle included. Comfy chairs & fireplace in the lobby. Great restaurant with waterfront views. Clean rooms. Friendly staff. Gym needs some fixing & renovation but there are options.

The Lakefront Anchorage is our go-to hotel whenever we’re in the city. Its location is incredibly convenient, offering quick access to all the main spots in Anchorage and just a short 7-minute drive to the airport. The rooms are clean and cozy, providing a comfortable stay every time. The hotel itself is enormous, featuring a bar, a restaurant, and a stunning lobby that adds to the overall charm. It’s a perfect choice whether you’re planning a longer stay or just need a comfortable stopover. The combination of convenience, great amenities, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it a top pick for any type of visit. Highly recommended!

This hotel is comfortable and clean. It lacks a bit in the way of maintenance and upkeep. The lobby is beautiful. The rooms are clean and very nice. The laundry machines seem to not operate all the time. The bathroom sink didn't drain fast at all during my last stay. There was a faint sewage smell in the hallway right where our room. It lingered a bit in the room but I got used to it. It is a long walk down the hallway to get to your room depending on which one you get. With all that said I go with this hotel every time I stop in Anchorage by myself for work. It's a really good night's sleep overall and it's super close to the airport to which they do provide a free shuttle service.

The location of this hotel is optimal if you are staying in Anchorage. We were here for to upgrade a video/sound system for a church so it was a mix of work and pleasure. Although the furniture in our room was dated, the bed was very comfortable and the room and bathroom were exceptionally clean. The linens get an A+, especially the towels! My husband loved the pillows which were too flat for me. I would have liked to have had an option, or extra pillows in the room. Our room temperature was too warm and hard to regulate, but we were able to open a window slightly to balance it (love the air quality in Alaska.) Our last day we were chased to the airport due to an incoming heavy snow, and disappointed we did not get to do more sight-seeing that day. However, we're thankful we did not have to travel far to get to the airport. The staff, food and food service at the restaurant were great! We missed going to the Flying Machine restaurant due to our schedule, but the view from it was beautiful. FYI, you have to request a lakefront room if you want it, and it is not guaranteed even though the rate for it is higher.

Great location and view of Lake Hood from our room. Had repeated issues with our room keeps not working and having to go back to the front desk and ask for maintenance everytime we wanted back in our room. But otherwise was a good, clean, comfortable room.

Great place to have a lunch in the Fancy Moose Lounge watching the float planes take off. The rooms were very clean and the staff were very attentive to my needs. I will be staying again when I visit Anchorage!

This is a very comfortable hotel with lots of amenities. It's beautiful out back watching the float planes. The furniture is very much dated and scratched. But the beds are very comfy and the rooms are clean with lots of towels. They have a very nice restaurant/ lounge on sight. Free shuttle to the airport as well. Definitely will visit again.

When we got to the hotel, they had us pay a $22 "resort fee" after we had already paid for everything online. This was to cover a $10 coupon to their restaurant and 2 bottles of water (which they were out of). We brought our dog since it's Christmas eve and chose this because it's a dog friendly hotel, and were charged $100 for a one night stay with him. I figured there would be a fee but I was not expecting it to be so steep. The room itself was fine except half the lamps didn't work. Overall would definitely not recommend.
