Anglers flock to this lakeside community for trophy-sized salmon fishing and the annual Big Lake Winter Festival. Rent a kayak to explore the pristine waters or hike nearby Hatcher Pass trails in Talkeetna Mountains for spectacular alpine views.
The lady is very friendly and makes amazing breakfast. Good comfortable bed and very clean washroom. Homely vibes and the best part is the outside lake front. I would recommend this over any hotel in this area.

I wish the shower would be hotter and the breakfast can be better. The waffle dough this morning was so watery. Other than that, it’s a great choice for a short stay in Anchorage!!

We are locals and we spent 1 night for my son’s bday.we love this hotel. Before it was being built I was working for securitas and I would secure the area so to be able to see its work and inside of it was very cool. Rooms are great, pool and jacuzzi was great, breakfast was awesome!! And for it to be in the middle of the theater and Walmart is a bonus!! Only downside is the kitchen crew was kind of rude. We let the man know that they were out of coffee and he made a comment saying, “yeah yeah...

The place was clean and quiet - felt like I had my own studio apartment in the city. The location is walking distance to great food and the coastal trail, and the proximate neighborhood felt safe even at night. Only saw the staff as I was heading out - otherwise saw no one

Staff was very warm and welcoming! Room was clean. Beds were fairly comfortable, just a bit firmer than I am used to. Beautiful view of the mountains from our room. Loved the Alaskan made gifts in the gift shop, and very reasonably priced.

Beautiful room facing the lake, clean, comfortable, the bed was one of the best I've ever slept on, the pillows another 5 star. However the check in was a little frustrating... Marked but not well.

...because this hotel is not too far out of Anchorage, but just the right amount closer to some of the nature attractions nearby. The best part is, the hotel offers everything you need, and more!
The outside of the building, "front desk", and the barnyard-style outside stairs mislead us to believe this hotel was not the right choice. Were we wrong!
The room is huge and comes with not one, not two, but three large closets. The bed was nice and big, and so were the pillows. There was even a...

The management of this hotel did an outstanding job with the remodeling and updrading of this facility. The reasonable cost combined with the level of comfort make for an unbeatable package. My wife and I are making this hotel our goto place when visiting Anchorage.

We love the Marriott .. They're always on top of things. Everything was smooth from check in to check out. Room service was excellent. Everything is very clean. Bed is so comfortable. View was awesome. A bit pricey but I think it's well worth it. If you can get a good discount it's even better. Walking distance to everything which is the main plus. Business center, ATM, little snack place. Bar with food and drinks. Can take a bottle of wine and some glasses to your room. Wouldn't change a thing....
