Very nice clean hotel convenient to the airport. Rooms were spacious and comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. Great staff and easy check in/ check out service. Several restaurants within walking distance and it’s a short ride to the shopping district.

Our stay at The Lakefront Anchorage was great. The desk clerk Chi took great care of us. He gave us a comfortable room. Made sure we had complementary water and a $10 voucher for use in the restaurants. Rita and Boyd in the restaurant made us feel right at home at the morning buffet. The buffet was delicious and included many breakfast favorites. I would highly recommend The Lakefront Anchorage Hotel.

Great experience. They always wanted to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of. And Rita over at the Flying Machine restaurant in the hotel was warm & welcoming. This was our second visit, and we hope to be back for a third next time we are in town.

Mary was great and room was great. Bar was open until 10:00 pm fyi. Julie was great there though. I did the Humpty dance in the bar and they all enjoyed it and checked me on. The long island started me down that path. Great place.o wish the bar was open later it closed earlier, who doesn't party on a Tuesday night. It is the best night night. Fun for all. Thank you gals we had a great time. Slipper rate is great. Room was clean, nice and the gave us bottles of water. They also have a shuttle which is great.
