About Coast Inn at Lake Hood

Coast Inn at Lake Hood, is a short walk away to watch float planes take on and off from one of the busiest seaplane bases in the world. In the winter the frozen lake serves as a frozen runway for planes with skis. Befitting to its location the hotel is decorated in Alaska Bush Pilot memorabilia and historic photography that the Alaska Aviation Museum next door shares with them. Each guest room is carefully cared for by our veteran housekeeping team, most of which have been with us 5 years and some up to 20 years. Each room has everything you need like Keurig Coffee machines with locally owned Caffé D'arte Alaska coffee, to in-room microwave and mini-refrigerator. If you have forgotten something, our front desk probably has it. We keep a fresh supply of basic toiletries available for you. Dine-in at locally owned and operated for 30 plus years, Pipers Restaurant and Lounge, or order room service. We have monthly specials that coincide with the season, Alaskan local favorites, and traditional native food. In the summer the deck is open and overlooks Lake Hood, where you can watch the planes land and take off right in front of you. The hotel has everything you need; from the fitness center, laundry machines, complimentary wi-fi, over 6,000 square feet of meeting space, computer stations for printing boarding passes, and the most needed on-demand courtesy airport shuttle available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, no reservation required. If you need to park and fly out, our partner Alaska Park is next door ready to serve you, and is who handles our courtesy shuttle.

    A very nice, clean hotel. Great staff, room was spacious and clean and it is close to intl airport.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Property was old and rooms were not clean. The only thing that was it was close to the airport

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Property is in a sketchy area of town with park at your own risk signage. The hotel itself is better than it appears from the outside, that being said, it is dated and can best be summed up as sufficient for an overnight near the airport, nothing more and nothing less.

    We decided to stay at this hotel for it's location and proximity to the airport. Nice hotel and staff were friendly. We chose to stay in the Junior Suite and the room was spacious, bed was comfy and couch was comfortable. I just wish the bathroom had some face wipes and extra tissue box and toilet papers. The water pressure was great, But I think because of the high volume, it did take a little bit to drain. It was very quiet at night. But overall, I did like the hotel and the convenience of the restaurant in hotel and early and late they stayed open. I would stay there again.

    This Hotel is an accident waiting to happen! There were extension cords used everywhere in the room. Up to 5 items plugged into 1 outlet. The Hotel is very run down. The restaurant had dead bugs on the windowsill. The furniture in the room had chips and scratches. The knob puller right off the drawer! Bedding was very low thread count and uncomfortable. However, the room was freshly painted and had new carpeting.

    The rooms were fairly spacious, but unfortunately the overall condition of the hotel was very disappointing. There were old carpets everywhere, and the room had a strong, unpleasant smell of age and mustiness. The hotel has no elevator, so we had to carry all our luggage up to the first floor ourselves. There was also a lot of noise from cars directly below our windows, which made the stay even less comfortable. Considering the price of approximately $350 for just one night, it was particularly disappointing that breakfast was not even included. The bed was also a major problem. It was only about 140 cm wide, which was extremely narrow for two people and made it very difficult to sleep comfortably. Overall, the price is completely unjustified considering the age, condition, facilities and comfort of the accommodation. For $350 per night, I would expect a completely different standard. Unfortunately, I absolutely cannot recommend this hotel as a suitable place to stay.

    Overpriced, but nice enough Took an hour for the shuttle to pick us up after we traveled all day. The hotel was two stories but no elevator. The two females behind the counter offered no assistance. I had to drag two 50 pound suitcases up to the second floor. Not good after the shuttle screw up and traveling all day. We did get a 30% refund.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Close to the airport and convenient

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    It was veryconvenient

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    No elevators and very long hallways made it challenging to get our large luggage into our room and floatplanes taking off at 8 am just outside our room were a bit noisy. On the positive side, rooms were very spacious, clean and comfy; staff was pleasant and helpful; onsite restaurant, bar, gym and laundry were a plus; and free shuttle to the airport for our 6 family members leaving at different times was terrific.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    We left early so no breakfast. We liked the location. The neighborhood seemed sketchy but your facility was good. I thought $331 was steep, but we’re from the Midwest.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Location was good as well as courtesy shuttle & from desk employees. It could use some updating, bed/towels not the best.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    We were placed on the second floor, which involves one flight of stairs. If you’re bringing a lot of luggage or traveling with someone with a disability, please note that the hotel does not have elevators, consider calling ahead to request a main-floor room. In the morning, we enjoyed watching bush planes take off and land from the hotel’s parking lot. It was fun.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Beautiful day while we were there and they weren't serving on the patio. Get it together - AK doesn't get a ton of those so take advantage.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    View was nice. Since it’s next to the airplane lake, loud noise coming from outside in the morning.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    We got an early check in at 11am for $50 fee. The restaurant (Pipers) was excellent. The Queen bed we booked was a double. The TV signal was scrambled, couldn't watch many channels that were available. The front of hotel landscaping was non existent. Flower boxes full of weeds. The shuttle driver was burning an active bee hive next to the front door.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Location Restaurant service was very slow

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The floor was damp and had soft spots, shower handle wasn't attached right and fell off.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Poor

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Super easy back and forth to the airport. We were leaving on a cruise so we’re only there for about 10 hours.
