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

After a tw day weather delay, we had to find a different hotel in Anchorage for our first night's stay. Trying to save a few dollars, I called and booked the Lakeshore Motor Inn (recommended by Frommer's). I, too, would recommend this motor inn, only if you are looking for "cheap". Our experience was not the greatest. Some rooms may... More

While coming into Anchorage for business, we always stay at Lakeshore Motor Inn. They treat us like family and always greet us with a smile, no matter what time in the night we get in. I like Lakeshore because it is not a huge chain hotel, they remember you and what you like. I have stayed at the Lakeshore several... More

While staying at the Lakeshore Motor Inn, my luggage was stolen from a luggage storage area which was offered by the establishment. It had the usual disclaimers, but being of a trusting nature I opted to leave my suitcase there. With the storage being off the lobby and very visible to all employees and patrons I found it hard to... More

We stayed here the last night of our Alaska trip. We were looking for an inexpensive place to stay near the airport. The Lakeshore Motor Inn met our needs nicely. The rooms were quite nice and very clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. There were several places within walking distance to eat. The inn also advertizes that they are... More
