"Give it a try- you won't be disappointed!"

Reviewed March 14, 2025 NEW

I loved my stay here! First a shout out to Boyd, who served us breakfast the first day. Boyd is the nicest server I've ever had! He stopped to chat with us and took a long time to listen to my dietary restrictions, even coming back to check in with me before the kitchen started making my meal. He is a star! Go to breakfast, if only to have Boyd as your server. The beds were super comfy, the halls were quiet. All of the staff is super friendly and helpful. We walked into town from the hotel- a beautiful walk along the coastal trail. This isn't for the faint of heart, as it took most of the afternoon. But it's an easy walk- just long.

"A great place to stay!"

Reviewed March 06, 2025 NEW

The hotel is conveniently located near the airport and also downtown Anchorage. You can access other parts of Alaska from here with a car which is really nice. I found that the onsite restaurant, Flying Machine, was great for breakfast and all the staff from front of house to back of house were just fantastic and super friendly. The views of the lake just really bring it all together.

"Good place to stay in Anchorage"

Reviewed March 02, 2025 NEW

I stayed for a week while attending a conference for work and had a great time. Location was easy to get to and made for a great home base when I left to explore the city. Rooms were clean, food at both the restaurants was good and hotel staff was always willing to answer any questions I had. Shoutout to Mary at the front desk for her help!
