"Mary and Maria at the Front Desk were wonderful, Super Comfy Beds and Clean / Quiet Room"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5

Mary & Maria at the front desk were amazing! The saying “you won’t remember a place but you will remember the way people made you feel” and these gals were lovely, professional, fun, and so friendly! The big tall security man was also very pleasant and kind. We loved the comfy beds and the pet-friendly option since we were traveling from Phoenix to Anchorage with our Shih Tzu in tow. Also really enjoyed the fresh lemon and cucumber water in the lobby.

"Great Alaska Classic Hotel"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
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."
TripAdvisor user rating 1 out of 5
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.

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!
