I would book here again. The hotel is a tad dated, but the staff are great. The resturant has great food. The view is awesome. Really much better stay than the chain hotels. I will book here the next time I come to Anchorage.

this hotel is in a great location and it’s fun to watch the float planes takeoff and land in the backyard. Great location for doing things in Anchorage as well as getting on and off planes at the airport.

I was really hoping we could watch the float planes from our room, we could not. Maybe there are some rooms you can but they are limited. There was also not lobby space that you could just watch them. Those 2 things made the stay less enjoyable. The proximity to the airport made it nice for our early morning flight.

Loved the restaurants, bar and coffee bar! Shuttle service and location were great! Only negative would be the 945pm closing of the bar - would have liked it to stay open later, especially after being out on tours we wanted to come back to the hotel and have a drink...many people felt the same and were turned away...otherwise great stay!

After a 12 hour ride on the Alaskan Railroad we were able to have a drink, a meal and get a night's rest. The room was immaculate and bed comfortable.

Really nice hotel situated close to the airport yet right on a lake. The sea planes taking off and landing were fun to watch but were a little noisy in the evening but they stopped at around 10pm so it was okay.

The property is a little bit older, but is right on the lake where you can see float planes, landing and taking off. The staff was friendly. The free shuttle to the airport and downtown was great. Room was very spacious and comfortable.

Older lodge style hotel that is in a good location, close to the airport on Hood Lake. The property is older and worn and some details are lacking but it was comfortable and easy going. A bit on the expensive side for the value. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
