"Comfort and convenience!"

Reviewed February 27, 2026 NEW

Had a comfortable 1 night stay. The young woman at the desk (Eurina) was so pleasant and accommodating. My room was adequate and clean. Rooms and lobby could definitely use a re-fresh. Breakfast in the dining room was very good and our waitress was especially nice. The view of Lake Hood was outstanding! I was glad to see the on-site security and you can’t beat the location if you’re headed to the airport. Will be back!

Great place with great views! Bar is best in town with friendly experienced bartenders and service staff. The girls are especially cute and very helpful with menu suggestions as well as local attractions. I highly recommend the Lakefront Fancy Moose saloon!
