The Lakefront Anchorage

The Deck at the Lakefront Hotel is one of our favorite places in Alaska! We visit Alaska every summer, and stopping at the Lakefront Hotel for breakfast has become a cherished tradition for our family. My husband and I have always loved watching the float planes take off and land while enjoying a delicious breakfast, and now our son enjoys the experience just as much. The view is absolutely beautiful and truly unique. The food is consistently excellent, but what really keeps us coming back is the outstanding service. We always look forward to seeing our favorite servers, Rita and Boyd. They are incredibly welcoming and provide the best service in town. Their warm smiles, genuine conversations, and attentive care create such a friendly and inviting atmosphere. They make every breakfast feel special and are a big part of why we return year after year. If you're looking for great food, amazing views, and exceptional hospitality, The Deck at the Lakefront Hotel is a must visit. We can't wait to come back again next summer!

This hotel was located far from town and railway station. They did provide a free shuttle bus. Maybe Ok if staying a few days but for an overnight, not convenient. The lake outlook was lovely but the receptionist upon check in was extremely rude and unhelpful. She was dismissive and unable to answer questions regarding the operations of the hotel. The concierge nearly had a heart attack delivering our bags to room, as it was SO far from reception. It took 15 mins walk to get to our room. The only good thing was the lady server at breakfast - thank you, and apologies but dont recall her name! Couldn't recommend this hotel, there are others closer to town that Im sure care about you more!

The hotel was not as advertised. It was dirty and run down. Hotel staff were rude and unhelpful. We were there to two nights and I witnessed several other guests having issues with rooms and service. We were very disappointed, especially for $700/night. Hallways and guest room floors and walls dirty, air conditioner filter in our room was dirty, and food was nothing to write home about. There was a dried wet spot above my son’s bed that appeared to have mold. We will not stay here again and I cannot recommend this hotel.

Some of the staff came across rude and unfriendly

This is our first trip to Anchorage and staying at the Lakefront Anchorage. Omg, it is AMAZING. You TOTALLY get what you pay for - in terms of facilities, amenities, and location. Also, #Crystal at the front desk was GREAT! She was basically the first person we spoke to at any length since our arrival and found her to be so helpful and friendly. Totally five stars! 😊🌟🙌 I would very much recommend this hotel and come again - hub for the facilities AND the staff. #MyMillenium

This stay was "meh" - and I'm writing while still here. Honestly, I'm a little disappointed. There's a few things I'm not wild about here - and I'll keep that to myself unless I feel later that I need to address it. But something that jumps out at me is that this place seems cheap - and not in a good way. It was NOT clear online that Breakfast isn't part of the room fee. Whatever. But it's expensive ($28 before tip!). And it's pretty much what you'd get at a Marriott or Hilton. But the thing that set me off is that they don't provide coffee in the lobby "because we have a restaurant." I'm sorry, but is this place SO cheap that it can't even provide this bare-bones-basic thing to guests? Really? And THAT'S your excuse?? I've been to off-brand chains that were attached to restaurants - and guess what - they still at least provided THAT basic amenity. I'm just disappointed. What a stupid reason. It's cheap, it felt like I was being blown off and I, frankly, think it's indicative of larger issues here.

Didn’t do much cause I know the area well. Went and visit family.

Start off by saying the room was average hotel quality clean and comfortable and the dinner at the bar in the evening was good. Where the poor review comes in was the breakfast buffet. 28$ for what most consider a continental breakfast I was alone but if I had my family with me that would have cost 120$ for fake eggs, bad sausage dried out waffles and a little bit of fruit. I should have looked at the food before just getting a plate. It has been a while since I’ve stayed here but they used to serve an excellent breakfast all off the menu so i expected something better my fault for not looking but 28$ for that was ridiculous.
