The Lakefront Anchorage

"We had a very good stay overall and were especially impressed with the value. The hotel was extremely cost-effective—almost to the point where I was initially cautious—but to my surprise, it exceeded expectations. The lobby is beautiful, and the hotel offers two restaurants. We enjoyed breakfast one morning, and it was very good. The staff throughout our stay were wonderful—very kind and welcoming. Our room was spacious and clean. One thing that did surprise us was the lack of a microwave or refrigerator in the room, which would have been helpful during a longer stay. On Saturday night, we went down to the second restaurant for a beverage and some food and were surprised to learn it closed before 8:00 p.m. That was a bit disappointing, especially for a weekend evening. I did use the exercise room and was pleased with it. There were free weights, treadmills, and ellipticals. I used the treadmill, and it worked perfectly—no complaints about the fitness facility at all. We were pleasantly surprised the first morning when housekeeping cleaned our room very early—it was wonderful to return from breakfast to a clean room. However, housekeeping did not return again during our five-day stay. Overall, this is a great option for the price, with friendly staff, clean accommodations, and nice amenities. With a few small improvements, it could easily be an excellent stay."

"Front desk staff and food/bar staff, especially Mags, Rita, Mark and John were friendly and professional. Free food vouchers were awesome. Gym is nice but sauna and some machines do not work. Laundry room was out of order. Plan accordingly. Rooms could be updated but roomy and clean. Cleaning staff should know more English. Good location near airport. All in all our stay there was pleasant."
