"DON'T DO IT!"

Reviewed November 27, 2025 NEW

This place is a dumpster fire. My first trip to Anchorage and I have very obviously picked the wrong place to stay. Do not let their website photos fool you. The place is old and tired. A remnant of the 80's. I picked a room rate that included breakfast every morning. So far, on my first two days here, the cook has been a no-show and the restaurant opening at 6am has been delayed by several hours. Employees tell me that this is sort of the norm here. No management on-site to handle these issues until 11am. Just the front desk clerk. Signage everywhere says that there are ice machines on all four floors. No. There is only ice on the first floor. The machines on the other three floors have been turned off. I will give kudos to the housekeeping staff. They do a good job of keeping everything clean. Unfortunately, it is sort of a "lipstick on a pig" situation.

"Resort Fee? For what?...."

Reviewed October 09, 2025

They charge $25.00 for a 'resort' fee. Ridiculous! It is not advertised. The place is tired and offers no amenities that warrants a 'resort fee'. They charge for wifi! It is not included in the 'resort fee'. This will be my last time here. There are too many other Hotels that don't play games. Truly insulting.

"Better than their rating!"

Reviewed September 27, 2025

The Lakefront is definitely a 5 star in my opinion. The restaurant was amazing, fish tacos highly recommend. The room was clean and spacious. The staff was friendly and helpful. The airport shuttle was easy to use and the driver was so helpful.
