"Pet deposit is a pet fee"
TripAdvisor user rating 3.0 out of 5

I've been happy with the Lakefront for several stays. The rooms are nice, and the beds are comfortable. It is nice having a restaurant in the facility, and although the dinner/bar area was loud, the food was good. The only disappointment is earlier in the week I was told that there would be a pet deposit to bring out dog. Unfortunately that turned out to be a non--refundable, $100 pet FEE and we did not have the option to cancel our room because we learned about this at check-in - too late to change our reservation. We did not see this information on their website.

"Above and beyond hospitality!"

I recently stayed at this hotel for a conference. Upon arrival the airport shuttle was there to meet me VERY quickly! The driver told me about the hotel and shared which restaurants would be open when we arrived. At checkin, Mary was so kind and welcoming. She went above and beyond and even helped me adjust my checkout time since I had a late flight the next day. Chris is the restaurant made great recommendations and even changed the TV so I could watch my local sports team play. The food was just as great as his service. Upon checkout, Chi also did a great time and asked if there was anything else he could do. For a small hotel in Alaska, I was blown away by the kind, welcoming, and above and beyond service of these team members. Great job! I’ll be back!

"Hotel and Confernce Amazing Stay!"

This is a wonderful location to stay at with beautiful views of Lake Hood. Had a large conference here and all the staff including AJ, Rose and April were so helpful and took care of our every need for the event! I would highly recommend the Lakefront Hotel for a stay and/or any events, they are on their "A" game and are a marked leader in a time when service seems to be second to profits and I appreciate them very much!

The hotel were excellent from the minute I walked through the front doors, I was also advised right from the start that my room that I selected was on a floor that was under construction and they were more than happy to move me to another floor. Which was not needed as the construction crew was not working at night. The hotel was very nice, the room was exceptionally clean, I had a drink in the bar area the bartender was very nice and attentive. The atmosphere was nice and welcoming. The airport shuttle was great and ran at the top of each hour. I would definitely stay here again.
