just stayed 2 nites for a conference, 2 dbl beds, on the lake, nice view, beds are hard, and room needs redecorating. good maid service, and good food in huge glass room on the lake, but prices for food are high for all meals. nice staff. good meeting rooms. wifi thru out the hotel. free parking too. look for bargain rates.

After reading the earlier reviews on TripAdvisor, we were disappointed in the Best Western Lake Lucille. The hotel is older and bordering on shabby; a renewal is drastically overdue. The lobby is cozy with a great fireplace, as another reviewer mentioned, but it is also dark and cluttered. Our room was reasonably clean, though not spotless, but it was also past its prime in decor and funtionality. Internet access was slow. The biggest asset for this small hotel is its location, away from the highway and nestled on the edge of a lovely small lake.

We tried to eat in the restaurant, but the room was extremely hot (be warned; no air conditioning) and service was non-existent. After waiting about 15 minutes to be seated in a half-empty restuarant, we left and complained to the hotel manager. He was a perfect gentleman and handled the situation with grace. He promptly seated us on the tavern deck and assigned one of the bar waitresses to us. I cannot speak highly enough of the manager or of the bar waitress who took care of us. The meal, alas, was only average.

Were I to pass through Wasilla again, I would thoroughly investigate other lodging options. However, I would also stay at the Lake Lucille again if none of the others struck my eye. It wasn't great, but the service by the manager made up for its shortcomings.

I spent 3 nights at the Lake Lucille and enjoyed it very much. The lake view room was clean and well appointed. The small deck was a nice to watch the lake - lovely view. It costs a few dollars more than the non-view (read parking lot view) on the other side of the building, but it's worth it. The room was very clean and had lots of towels. I really appreciated the candy on the table! The lobby is lovely, with a fireplace and lots of comfortable seating. I can't speak to the food since my meetings kept me from eating in the restaurant.

My only complaint is this: the hotel is completely non-smoking. In fact, when you sign in, you agree to pay a $500 charge if you smoke in the room. However, the lounge is NOT non-smoking. When I walked back into the lobby about 10pm on Saturday night, the stench was almost unbearable. And it wafted down the hall as I walked to my room. If they are going to have smoking in the bar, having a better air circulation system is a must. For me, one of deciding factors to staying there was the fact it was a no smoking hotel.

We had a major event here, and the hotel was perfect. Staff was very accomodating to many small and large requests, and the location was excellent. Ask for the lake facing rooms, which have small decks with beautiful views of the lake, unless you really like views of the parking lot. The restaurant is good for the area, service was outstanding, but the food is only good.That being said, food was better than the three other higher end restaurants in Wasilla. If you are looking for great food, go to Anchorage, or hit the local brewpub and down a few pints -- as long as you consider beer a food, you'll be in heaven. I would come back all the way to Wasilla just to use lovely casual hotel as a jumping off point for exploring Alaska, and I definitely plan on holding my next event here.
