Arctic Fox Inn

Anchorage is an expensive place and the Arctic Fox Inn represents good value for money and a good level of comfort with plenty of room. A clean and well-maintained property, we had Apt. 5 which was well appointed and spacious (though the sofa does need replacing and the mattress is getting on a bit too). There is some noise from outside activity but really not enough to stop you getting sleep and the area appears down-at-heel but certainly NOT dangerous. An easy 15-20 mins from the train station and the centre of town, this place is well located and is better than some of the nearby hotels. There is no breakfast offered anymore (in keeping with most places in North America) and whilst the remote check in is efficient, there is no easy way to communicate with the owners. We had a problem with our lock (our fault, we were too quick in pushing the door rather than waiting for 30 seconds for the mechanism to automatically unlock) when I phoned the emergency number, I was put through to voice mail giving me another number to phone - unfortunately, I had no pen and paper ready. When I phoned again, there was no reply. E-mail requests went unanswered too. This could cause a problem. Still, we enjoyed our stay here and would certainly recommend it over nearby hotels.

Safety Concerns: Regrettably, the property is situated in an unsafe area. As a guest, safety is paramount, and this aspect requires immediate attention. Inaccurate Information and Uncomfortable Conditions: Furthermore, the property information and photos provided on ******* do not align with the actual conditions. The living area is notably small, the sofa bed appears old and unclean, and the beds are uncomfortable. These discrepancies impact the overall quality of the stay.

This B & B has some issues. I did not realize when I booked it that it would be a completely remote check in. Seemed like only housekeepers were round. The stairway up one floor to the 9 guest rooms was incredibly narrow. I was traveling 2 weeks and my bag barely fit. You enter through a kitchen/dining area and realize that, as noted elsewhere, breakfast would be basic coffee/tea, oatmeal, bagels and apples/bananas. I did not partake in breakfast. The room was an adequate size and the bathroom was clean/updated. The mattress was soft but not super soft. I agree with others that the TV was difficult to work. What really disturbed me were the room hollow doors seemingly purchased at a large box hardware store. You could hear the slightest noise outside in the hall. Their thinness, combined with the remote entry/lack of onsite staff, does not make one feel secure. Especially when, again noted previously, this is not in the best of neighborhoods. AFI can not control the houseless in the blocks around them but it is not at all a comforting feeling to walk by it to get to the B & B.

We loved our nest at the Arctic Fox for the time we stayed there . Comfortable, clean , friendly, light and a beautiful view . We loved the space, opportunity to prepare meals and socialize. Bedroom and bed comfortable and made us sleep well. We recommend Apt 5 of the Artic Fox !

It was my favorite place to stay while visiting Alaska. It was easy to book, and I really, really appreciated the remote check in- it was so easy and convenient!! The atmosphere here was so comfy, homey, and relaxing. It was also walking distance to some shopping and restaurants. I would absolutely stay here again.

Luxury towels, comfortable bed, thick floor rug, spacious unit with kitchen and large bathroom. Space available for parking if you rent a car. I used uber to arrive. The area is walkable. Close to restaurants and tour attractions. I felt safe here and the area. I slept very well and would recommend this place to solo or couples. Pick up drinks and food on your way because there is a spacious kitchen with equipment to cook and clean.

We had a lovely time. Easy check in and checkout. Bagged breakfast provided. We ate out on the deck and ate. Beautiful views of mountains and small planes taking off. We stayed in king room. Shower was a tad short for my husband who is 6'5", but was fine for me at 5'4". Would stay again!

Wow, what a nice surprise this place was! Not much to look at from the outside, but just amazing inside! The staff is SO nice. The room was comfortable and sweet! But the best thing? The amazing sack 'to go' breakfast. Just perfect! An amazing place to stay - will FOR SURE book here again! Thank you all so much!

I agree with the previous reviews. The room was clean, nice bathroom and parking available. Train did not keep me up but I use ear plugs. The immediate neighborhood is a bit seedy. We had a car so we were able to get to a restaurant. Breakfast was indeed a brown paper bag with prepackaged and sandwich bags of food from Costco. The room price is the same without a nice usual B&B breakfast. Can't recommend this place and won’t be back, too many better choices.
