The Lakefront Anchorage
Long wait to check in with only 1 rep working the front desk and multiple customers. Also on hold for approximately 15 minutes trying to get the airport shuttle to pick me up. They never took me off hold but the shuttle eventually showed up so I hung up. Room and stay were good!
