I host trips to different fishing lodges in SW Alaska and have stayed at the Lakeshore Motor Inn since 2005. We stay there on our way to and from our primary destinations. I have not encountered one problem except for a noisy water pipe (?) in a first floor room. The staff has always been very welcoming and helpful. Now,... More

Great place to stay when traveling though Anchorage. Rooms are clean, comfortable and affordable. We use this hotel every time we are in Anchorage. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Plus an added bonus is its close proximity to both the international airport and the seaplane base. They offer free shuttles to both.

This was recommended in Frommers but I don't have any idea why! The rooms were dirty, the door and window locks were broken. The whole place was musty smelling. Would not return. The staff were all very nice.

The room we stayed in was nothing exceptional - pretty basic. But it was clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced. We stayed two nights - the first night in Alaska and the last night. Would recommend this motel. Candy was particularly friendly and helpful.

My husband and I spent one night at the Lakeshore Motor Inn in late July, 2009. What a great find! This small inn, tucked in behind the Puffin Inn and across from the Holiday Inn Express on Spenard, provided all the same conveniences as the larger chains near the airport, but at less cost. Our room was quiet; the Inn... More

I have stayed here twice before, in 2001 and 2003. This time I was not impressed with the attitude of the employees, not very friendly or helpful.

We arrived in Anchorage in the middle of the night. We were only here a few hours to take a nap, thank goodness. The place itself was clean enough, but everything was OLD. The sheets were so old that they were falling apart. Same with the mattresses. It was just old. Our non-smoking room smelled like an ashtray. The breakfast... More

I noticed that the manager of the place held contempt for her employees as well as the native population. I over heard on many occassions her refer to the Alaskan natives as a drain on society. I heard with my own ears her speaking to her employees with distane and as if they were less than people all while myself... More

All of Anchorage is outrageously expensive, and this property is no exception. We stayed 1 night, and it was convenient to the airport and our rental-camper location. The staff was incredibly nice - I was quite taken aback at first - but came to realize this is typically Alaskan. The room was clean and functional, a bit run-down considering the... More
