A nice, clean and staff friendly hotel. We enjoyed the view of the lake when dining at the restaurant. The shuttle drivers were so very helpful with our luggage both when we arrived and departed Anchorage. We also got a lift from them to the town centre.

Long walks to very old elevators, laundry machines not working, TV didn't work, remote didn't work, maybe because I used 3rd party to book wasn't offered a different room, although I actually scored upgrades at 4 star hotels in different cities using this app Prime rib was good and shower/toilet s were the better parts of this stay

Nice place to stay, convenient to get to from airport and many other attractions. It is an older motel and interior is dated, but it is nice. Staff was great. Check in was slow, they needed more help with all the people coming at once. Watching the sea planes take off and land was cool. Was disappointed that they did not have a full menu for breakfast, just buffet.

Excellent buffet breakfast quality and views of planes for entertainment. Walking trails around the lake perimeter were easy for my husband’s electronic cart. Easy mobility for him with wide entrance area and hallways. Liked having restaurants onsite to avoid having to get back in a vehicle every time we wanted a meal.

We enjoyed our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was great. We were in town for a soccer tournament and it was a quick drive to Kincaid Park for the games. The rooms were nice, clean and comfortable. It would have been nice to have a microwave in the room or closer by. We were on the first floor and the only microwave available was a small one on the third floor and we had to hunt for it. Other than that, I would recommend this hotel and I’d stay here again.
