I flew into Anchorage and I need a place to spend a night before starting my tour of Alaska. I picked this hotel because none of the hotels in Anchorage... sounded very inviting and because I was in Alaska for the scenery, not the city. I was pleasantly surprised with how nice this hotel was. All of the rooms on the lake side of the hotel have balconies (sliding glass doors) with a beautiful view overlooking Lake Lucille with snow-capped mountains in the background! The hotel has a beautiful lobby complete with a stuffed grizzly, a moose head, and some bears. The hotel looks clean and updated. The room was nice and clean and everything worked well. There were no problems. The front desk attendants were very friendly and helpful. They had a fairly comprehensive breakfast on a terrace overlooking the lake – beautiful! The hotel is on the edge of town but restaurants and shopping areas in Wasilla are not far away. Just one thing to be aware of. The rooms are not air-conditioned. My wife and I were there in June so the daytime highs were in the 60s and night time lows in the 40s so sleeping with the sliding door opened slightly made the room very comfortable. Plus they provide very nice, quiet, oscillating fans that worked very well. The room was very quiet for my wife and I and we slept well. But there is a grassy area between the hotel and the edge of the lake where noisy nighttime guests might play. However, our room remained quiet with no disturbing noise and my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I would definitely stay again. by Robert M from Cleveland, OH on 06/28/11
