This is a good well run hotel. Friendly & helpful staff. The Tomato & ship soup was amazing & the scrambled egg breakfast really good.
I’ll be booking again on my next trip 😊
Excellent well kept, clean and fresh smelling (vs chemical cleaning product smell) property
Staff can be a bit warmer and friendly in their interactions
Loved the location near the airport and on the seaplane lake. Big windows on the back of the restaurant and bar to watch the planes take off and land. Close to downtown - use the hotel’s free shuttle to get you there & back! Also free shuttle service to the airport and train depot.
Lakefront is a well established hotel in a great location. The facilities are dated and somewhat worn but the staff, restaurant and bar make the stay a real treat.
Beautiful location, clean room and helpful staff. I have to mention the Lakefront drivers were extremely helpful with our luggage and boxes of fish we brought home. They put them immediately in Lakefronts freezer and we're so helpful getting them reloaded up for our airport return.
While I’ve enjoyed staying here over the years they are pricing me out of this property. Sad, because not only do I stay here I eat meals too. Love this hotel though

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Our room needed some loving care. But, on the whole was good.
Nice hotel. Breakfast Buffet at the Flying Machine was good, however the view out the windows at the float planes landing and taking off on the lake was fantastic.
