"Awesome."

Reviewed November 13, 2024 NEW

Hospitality is next level. 2 waters upon arrival and clean comfy rooms. Front staff is the friendliest and most accommodating ever. Great food and service at the Fancy Moose Lounge. Shuttle service the airport and back is almost always on call. What a fantastic experience every time I come to Alaska.

"Great Alaska Classic Hotel"

Reviewed November 12, 2024 NEW

Lakefront, a classic Alaska hotel. Rooms are huge compared to most other hotels. Food and bar are great, and even better in the summer when you can watch the planes on the lake. Mary C. made check-in an easy process. Favorite Anchorage hotel for 25 years.

"Excessively charged for so called free amenities."

Reviewed November 07, 2024 NEW

We were charged an unauthorised $160 'Resort Fee' when we checked out for FREE WiFi, FREE shuttle bus, 2 bottles of water, etc. This was not approved by us. We tried to get the monies returned and management said the details of the resort fee are well explained on the various booking websites. I have searched extensively and this is not the case. Would not recommend this hotel or hotel chain to anyone given this experience.

"Amazing Stay at The Lakefront Anchorage!"

Reviewed November 06, 2024 NEW

Just got back from staying at The Lakefront Anchorage, and it was incredible. The location is perfect, with stunning views of Lake Hood and the Chugach Mountains. If you love nature, this is the place to be. The restaurant was a major highlight. The food was delicious, and the view made every meal feel even more special. The staff were super friendly and attentive—especially Yagiz and Rita. They really made the dining experience stand out. The lobby staff were very responsive and kind, always ready to help. Overall, with the beautiful views, great food, and amazing service, my stay was exceptional. If you're visiting Anchorage, I highly recommend The Lakefront Anchorage!

"Breakfast with a view"

Reviewed November 06, 2024 NEW

Eating breakfast at The Flying Machine is a great option. Great view of planes from airport nearby and water planes. I’ve been at the hotel 4 days and been able to use the discount voucher to have breakfast. The options are varied, traditional eggs, sausage and hash browns, another time a seafood breakfast consisting of crab, salmon and eggs with breakfast potatoes. Buttermilk pancakes and jam were very good as well. Staff is very attentive - my service was provided by Yaqz, he was friendly, polite and prompt.
