At The Lakefront you'll be at the center of all the action, as our hotel is located right next to Lake Hood - the largest and busiest seaplane base in the world, with some 250 planes landing each day. There's plenty to see and do near our hotel, including exploring Earthquake Park, Tony Knowles Coastal Trail, Kincaid Park or the Aviation Museum. Book your stay to coincide with some of the great events happening right on our doorstep, such as the Alaska Aviation Festival or Anchorage International Film Festival. Complete your Last Frontier adventure with delicious local cuisine, including our bison burgers or jumbo king crab legs paired with an icy pint of Alaskan Amber. Inspired by Alaska’s rich history in aviation, The Flying Machine Restaurant serves breakfast and dinner with a distinct Alaskan twist. Don’t forget to try the Fancy Moose Lounge or The Deck at Lake Hood, both local favorites serving great food and drink with great views of the lake. Make us your first stop in the Last Frontier.Show More

Hotel was very clean, conveniently located next to a bicycle rental that's very cheap to explore the area. Lake was beautiful as well.

Well my stay was great and the room was clean granted refrigerators really tiny and there's no microwave you have to actually ask for microwave and they don't tell you about it when you check in and they said that my room was close to the elevator and it's actually 64 rooms away from the elevator that was kind of tough trying to get maintenance up here to fix the lock on my door was a hassle it took 3 days I ended up being locked out of my room because the battery died I need a batteries in the TV remote at 23 days I ended up having to go buy my own because nobody ever showed up otherwise my stay was great thank you though they don't provide breakfast you have to actually pay for it and it's super expensive

The hotel is located about 5 minutes from the airport and about 15 minutes to downtown--pretty convenient. It is interesting to watch the seaplanes land right in front of the hotel. A shuttle runs 24/7 to the airport, which was nice. The last downtown shuttle returns to hotel at 7:20pm which requires planning to return. The restaurant is very busy in the morning and has a waiting list. The hotel hallways were dirty and not vacuumed the weekend. Hall trash bins were overfull and trash laid around them. The rooms were clean, but did not have a microwave.

Living in Wasilla the lakefront hotel is close to the airport which I had to go to at 4 AM.
It was quiet and clean and service was quick.

Everything was good except for when you walk in the front doors. People are smoking and blocking the entrance. Cigarette butts are all over the place. Just doesn't look good.

A bad smell, very old! Very bad service attitude! No microwave, intermittent network! Took half an hour to find a public microwave! The carpet 🈶 has a strong foot odor! The waiter does not clean the room!

The hotel is next to the lake and the seaplane base, but the rooms are old and the price/performance ratio is average
