The 248-room Lakefront Anchorage is an upper-middle-range property whose biggest claim to fame is serving as host hotel for the world-famous Iditarod race each March. But it stays busy all year, given its location near the airport and on the shores of Lake Spenard/Lake Hood, where float planes transport adventure seekers into Alaska’s back country. The property has a rustic hunting lodge theme and offers numerous amenities including free airport and downtown shuttles, two restaurants, fitness center, event space, guest laundry, and free parking and Wi-Fi. The spacious rooms were renovated in 2015. They’re nicely equipped with coffeemakers, mini-fridges, and safes, but air traffic noise can be heard. Rates are competitive but don’t include breakfast. A more stylish option to consider could be the Embassy Suites by Hilton Anchorage, although rates here can be significantly higher.

The four-pearl Hotel Captain Cook is a downtown Anchorage landmark that’s served as one of the city’s top corporate and social-event venues since it opened in 1965. This 547-room hotel, split into three towers, is chock full of amenities such as separate men’s and women’s fitness centers and five food options including a fine-dining, rooftop restaurant. It also houses a pool/whirlpool, spa treatment rooms, 12 boutique shops, and offers valet parking -- although it’s expensive. Rooms and suites are pulled-together, spacious, and well equipped, but their generic decor with dated details can dampen their appeal. Still, room service, free Wi-Fi, and Keurig coffeemakers come standard. Rates are competitive, but they don’t include breakfast. It's worth comparison shopping with The Voyager Inn across the street, which can have lower rates, free breakfast, and free access to Captain Cook’s fitness and pool facilities.
