Unfortunately we were placed on the fourth floor which is undergoing renovations to the hallway. The odor of Sheetrock mud was strong. We are in our 70's and had four suitcases, and our room was at the far far end of this stinky hallway. The room itself was clean and well appointed, but very much needed a maintenance man to spend a day in there. The Fancy Moose restaurant was fantastic, both food and service. The morning buffet in the Flying Machine was understaffed and way overpriced. We booked 8 months in advance and had high hopes for the Lakeside Inn, but overall our stay under delivered.

The hotel was not very crowded which lended to the overall quietness of the hotel in general. Front desk staff at check in were courteous. Furnishing in my room were adequate but a bit worn.

Hot Water was lukewarm at best. Side entrances didn’t operate. Bathroom door wouldn’t stay closed. $4 for a cup of watery diner coffee. Surprise “resort fees” The place has gone downhill a ton in the last decade. It’s dirty, old and nickel and diming. Definitely gonna stop staying here. It used to be THE spot near the airport. Sadly those days are long gone.

Good hotel by the lake but very old and needs complete renovation. The resort fee is stupid! It’s not a resort at all. Dirty old carpets look disgusting.

Property itself is very nice. It is located in a struggling part of Anchorage. The Spenard area is a bit ghetto. Very close to the airport with a shuttle and the hotel itself is satisfactory.
