“Anchorage's only lakeside lodging provides a unique Alaskan experience, particularly with its floatplane access directly from the hotel dock. Comfortable rooms and a convenient airport shuttle add to the appeal, while multiple dining venues showcase local cuisine. I think its rich history as a host hotel for the Iditarod, combined with modern amenities, makes it a solid choice.”
