Avis : The Lakefront Anchorage

This hotel has seen better days in its multi-decade existence. It has gone through some renovations and name changes, but still seems to be in transition as we walked through the third floor paint fumes (half of the floor was being painted while still having guests on the floor) to our room at the end of an extremely long corridor. It seems understaffed and whatever staff they do have are wearing multiple hats and running around or in training. We encountered a spectrum of personalities from sweet to terse to neutral in their customer service/reception area. Their booking system is also a bit unclear. I got emails for "pre check-in" and "set checkout" which seemed fine, but I had selected a cocktail pack at the pre check-in and input my credit card information but was not charged for it. If my CC isn't going to be charged at that point, why should I have to enter my CC information at all? It should be noted that these are "requests" the front desk can choose to fulfill for the guest or not. They still asked for a CC to be put on file for incidentals too, during in-person check-in, so online "pre check-in" just seems pointless. We had booked our multi night stay on the Trip app and it did have us prepay but also said there would be a $89 charge at the hotel for four nights. We later learned it was a ~22 bucks "resort fee" for our stay per night. I guess the resort fee includes the amenities of free water and free shuttle service? Breakfast wasn't included for our booking. The person checking us in even charged a $$$$ deposit amount larger than the cost of our 4 nights there, so I hope they are more careful on other security deposit charges, in the future. On another note, the 24/7 airport shuttle was great and the downtown shuttle service was excellent. Their free shuttle service is definitely a highlight. Kind drivers also -- lovely service from all the drivers we met and always helped us with our bags and directions. Big appreciation for the shuttle vans and drivers! Free water (2 bottles per guest per day) included at the front desk, which you have to make sure to grab yourself, as there was no "deliver to room" option during our stay. The outdated facilities are somewhat maintained, as we had slow drainage in our shower tub and slow drainage in our toilet that nearly led to a clog. Luckily, the maintenance team was able to remedy that after our first night. We stayed 4 nights in total, but that first night was rough. Going forward, I would recommend this place for someone seeking adventure in a property that is next to a beautiful lake with cool seaplanes and a nice lobby full of taxidermy and doesn't mind the potentially tumultuous reception or dated bathroom.

Very average super dated hotel not recommended. The restaurant is extremely expensive and has horrible food.

Dust on counters. Clogged toilet drain. Overall, cleanliness was very poor.

Your Lakefront Anchorage is a fantastic place to stay, offering an unbeatable location and great service. The setting is simply stunning, with beautiful lake views that create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Whether enjoying the scenery from the property or heading out for outdoor activities, the location is perfect. The service was excellent—friendly, accommodating, and attentive to guests’ needs. Check-in was smooth, and the staff made sure everything was comfortable throughout my stay. The accommodations were clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped for a hassle-free experience. If you’re looking for a lakefront getaway with a perfect balance of tranquility and convenience, this is the place to be. I highly recommend it and would definitely return!

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

The location is good as close to the airport. Free shuttle bus to/from airport.

Quiet and comfortable

View from the bar is amazing

Nice view

環境：以為在湖邊會比較幽靜，其實在路邊，車聲也不小。背面是個湖（池塘）。離機場較近。 設施：亮點是大堂的動物標本，小孩會喜歡。缺點是太舊了，房間走廊一股陳舊味道撲面而來，不喜歡這種感覺的慎選。浴缸排水速度不及進水，會淹腳。浴缸龍頭的切換開關是壞的（掀動不了），剛出的冷水會從花灑淋身上。這些問題難道沒人反映？每天維護的人不知道？ 三樓有公共微波爐。 房間有小冰箱、保密櫃。 走廊太長太長，走得崩潰。 衞生：浴缸邊有頭髮。 服務：到店另收22美元度假費，早餐可優惠10刀/天（不是每人），但是看看品種一般加上沒時間就沒吃。入住時給了幾瓶水。 枱麪的護膚露，2023年12月到期的，我入住是2025年7月了啊！ 綜上，這個價位不值得。

在湖邊，非常棒。有的房間比較吵，建議換成隔音窗

一股臭味，很舊！服務態度很差！沒有微波爐，網絡斷斷續續！找公共微波爐找了半小時！地毯🈶很重的腳臭味！服務員不打掃房間！

酒店旁就是湖邊和水上飛機基地，但房間比較舊，性價比一般

酒店有點陳舊，床不舒服，不過餐廳服務和食物非常不錯。
