Arctic Fox Inn Bed & Breakfast - Anchorage, Alaska

Michael Heim

Attractive and well-maintained place and great value very close to downtown (easily walkable). Don't listen to any of the reviews talking about safety of the area unless you are a suburbanite that is used to your perfect little bubble. It's just fine and pretty much what you expect in a fairly-urban area. Materials provided for breakfast were actually better than expected. Only issue we had was the queen bed in our room. Clearly a broken box spring so one side of the bed was quite uncomfortable. Other than that, the Arctic Fox is exactly as-advertised.

IMPORTANT: I stayed with family in June 2024 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 Expedia 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.

Feels like the good reviews are just made-up ones and are not true experiences.

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 recommend the Arctic Fox. Convenient to the train station and a short walk to downtown where we caught the trolley tour. The room, unit E , was perfect, comfortable bed and ensuite bathroom. The free light breakfast was perfect for getting our day started. The host was very accommodating with holding our luggage until we left for the airport. More intimate than a hotel , we enjoyed our experience. Clean and organized.

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.

Friendly host who allowed an early check in since the space was available. My apt was clean, quiet and very comfortable. I slept very well. The location is close enough to walk to restaurants. It also has space for your rental car. Lots to do in the area. The unit has a full kitchen, spacious bathroom, sofa and dinette table if you choose to cook or bring food. I advise picking up water, juice and snacks on your way in before check in. Lots of storage space if needed. Luxurious towels, and the thickest and nicest floor rug. For those who wear makeup- please bring makeup remover towels. The owners request you do not use their towels to remove makeup. I understand their requests. The towels are great and unstained. If I'm back in the area I would choose their location.

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.
