This was hands down the best place I have stayed in Anchorage! Loved the bug bath tub. Bed was comfortable, everything was quiet, and breakfast was DELICIOUS!

The Lakefront Anchorage
Limited off season menu in restaurant could be improved- a breakfast menu one day then a buffet only the next. Staff was good about a room location request. We will return.
