Arctic Fox Inn

Several well appointed bedrooms in a large apartment setting. Access to kitchen, dining area and common living room with fireplace. Rooms are well insulated and provide a comfortable quiet environment. Property is just off the main area of town which allows for a quiet neighborhood.

The apartment fit the bill for 5 people traveling together. We had all of the conveniences of home. Our intention was to use mass transit for our expedition. We were 0.6 miles to the train station, 0.8 miles to the transit station, and civic center. We could walk to a bus stop to get to the transit station and then the airport. Private parking was available and free. We had access to a laundry room on the premises. Jeff was more than helpful. We made the right choice here.

Great location in downtown Anchorage. Laundry facility onsite is a plus. Comfortable bed, sofa bed not so much. Friendly and helpful host.

The apartment was spacious, modern, and very clean. There is a full kitchen which is supplied with all that is needed for light cooking, and a lovely bathroom. However, be aware of three things: 1. STAIRS. The middle and upper floor apartments are reached by lengthy outdoor stairs. 2. TRAINS: Alaska Railroad excursions cross a street approximately 0.1 mile away and train whistles sound day and night. Very loud! 3. PLANES: the apartment is 1.5 miles from Merrill Airfield and apparently directly in the path of takeoffs of light planes.

This was a lovely pitstop for us. It's a shared space, almost like a house where the rooms are assigned to the people staying there. Very clean and cozy. There's a long message you receive with instructions on how to enter/check-in (seems intimidating), however, it is not difficult to figure it out.

Laundry available, easy walk to restaurants and attractions in downtown Anchorage.

We really enjoyed our stay. Right on the outskirts of downtown within walking minutes of shopping and restaurants. We had a shared bath but it was very nice and the room itself was cozy and the bed and linens comfortable. It was serve yourself breakfast options of coffee, teas, bagels, cereal, yogurt, fruits which was convenient. The place was immaculate inside with nice common area seating both inside and out. Check in was a breeze with a coded entry door.

Had to book a room quickly. Was normally as self check in property but manager happened to be on site that day and was super helpful even though he was obviously busy with unexpected task on a Sunday. Room and common areas were clean and comfortable. We were able to use kitchen to store some food in the fridge and microwave a dinner. There are no cooking facilities available. Breakfast was a self serve selection of cereal, yogurt and toast etc in dining room. Laundry facility was on site with affordable machines - half the price of other sites we used. Neighborhood seemed pretty safe and parking was on-site. Building was older but well maintained and interior was a bit dated but in good condition. Good value for the area.

It was an exceptionally clean and well maintained apartment in downtown Anchorage. The owner/ manager Jeff is really nice and cooperative. I am a solo female traveler and felt quite safe. A full kitchen and separate bedroom for the price of a hotel room was a really good deal. I was in apt 5 and the view was fantastic. Rooms are secured by a code and they have paid laundry too. They also have other apartments with more bedrooms, so it’s good for families. The only few considerations are: 1. Lots of stairs to reach the apartment. 2. Homeless people on the street as soon you get out - they didn’t cause me any problems, but I was a little unnerved. 3. All major stores like Walmart, Walgreens, Carrs, etc are in mid-town, so you need to spend on Uber. Both 2 & 3 are not an issue if you have a car, I didn’t.

No staff contact, easy entry w/door code. Clean, spacious apartment. Coffee, beer, limited restaurants w/in short walks.

Property manager was great and very responsive however building simply was not in best part of town. We also had many bugs and spiders in the studio apartment. The scrub brush in the kitchen was brown/very dirty and should have been replaced and couch also had thick layer of dust near seams.

Cost effective place to stay in Anchorage. Location was convenient to downtown, but a bit of a hike to some popular locations on the western side. Room was nice, but not as clean as it could have been. Some remodeling has taken place, but not of the highest quality. This is a functional place to stay that does the job.

Very clean and neat rooms with everything we needed, except we found two roaches by the bed.

Excellent stay at the Arctic Fox Inn. VERY clean and super cute! Enjoyed out stay!

Rooms, common areas, and bathrooms were always very clean and well kept. The property is quieter than most hotels ive stayed in. Great communication from owner with all the questions we had. I would definitely stay here again.

Great host, everything clean, comfortable and convenient. Would definitely stay again.

A clean property and a good value. Beds were comfy and the room was cozy. Remote check in was very convenient. Breakfast provided was also good though lacking gluten free or vegan options. Overall a great stay and great value in Anchorage.

Location is nice because it is walkable to restaurants and shops. For the cleanliness part. The bathroom stinks because of the shower curtain that has an orangy mold. Also, a black bug comes popping out anytime of the day.

We have stayed at the Arctic Fox many times going in and out of Anchorage. It has always been comfortable and welcoming. Clean, well decorated and managed. Such a better experience than staying in another chain hotel. Jeff was a great on site host to our needs.

Cleanest place we have ever stayed! It was great, thank you!

Nice 2 bedroom apartment. Nice views of the mountains and the downtown area. The only issue was the car noise that we could hear thru our windows but that was called out before we rented the place. Would consider it again if we’re back in the area.

Apt 5 was a nice size for 2 people. In general, it was clean. Recommend washing dishes prior to use. Kitchen was very functional, toaster has issues. I assume they will be replacing couch since it’s worn out. Bedroom & closet were fine & met our needs. It was nice to have 2 luggage racks. The staff was great. Provided excellent instructions prior to our arrival. I called once because I couldn’t get in laundry room & they answered immediately & provided tips. The area is noisy & looks unsafe. Be aware of surroundings when walking.

We stayed one night in a room with private bath. Room was nice and updated. Other reviews about noise were accurate. Our room was on port side so we heard train and ship horns dining the night. Common area was nice. It was set up for breakfast of cold cereals and oatmeal. We left at 4am for an eatly flight so don't know if coffee and other food was set out later.

The space and comfort were great

My overall rating is a 5 for Arctic Fox for several reasons. First, Jeff was very responsive which was great. The place was mostly clean, however, I noticed a couple areas were missed such as above eye level in the shower had stuff stuck so I assume only the bottom part of the wall was cleaned and also there was hair on the bathroom floor. The floor was clearly mopped but a vacuum or swifter probably needed to be used first before mopping. Also, when the fridge door was opened, there was dirt caked on the floor. it seemed like the nooks and crannies weren’t being cleaned. One thing that was great was that the living room rug was wet when we arrived so it was good knowing the carpet was cleaned between guests. The area isn’t fancy but It’s very central and we were able to walk to downtown which saved us a lot on Uber. We felt perfectly safe. Noise…. this is the one major downside. What others wrote about the noise is absolutely true. The train horns sound like it’s in the unit with you and it seems some train operators are just being jerks with how long they blow the horn. trains seem to start around 5:30 and stop around 11:30. The trains though are not the fault of the owner though so just be aware you’ll hear it. The noise from the unit above was also insane. There was sometimes noise all night between midnight and 6am and also the toilet flushing sounded like it was in my room. Jeff was very responsive though and asked them to tone it down I would stay here again.

Older building, managed well remotely. Could hear upstairs footprints at 4 am, not the greatest of neighbourhoods but safe.

The unit was great, clean updated supplied with almost everything you would need for an extended stay. Easy acess The one thing i did not like. We had the two bedroom unit, the couch and chais super nice and comfortble, the room with two beds were so nice, then you get to the room with the queen bed and its a metal frame with a 4 inch thick foam pad not comfortable. It just seems like an oversight. Maybe they had replaced the matress and that matress was all they could find on short notice. This is the one and only thing that i could find wrong.

The apartment is very clean, spacious & comfortable. The 2 bathrooms were updated and nice.

Excellent services from staff. I was in unit 3. I called from airport and was granted an early checkin which was about 2 hours. That was appreciated. I was able to check in, leave my luggage and go explore while i had energy. The unit is beautiful and comfortable. Unit 3 has a dining table with 3 chairs, sofa and comfortable bed. Storage space, extra pillows, new towels, full kitchen and spacious bathroom. Some tips. Be prepared to leave shoes at the door. Very nice thick rug in the room as well. If you wear makeup please bring remover wipes so the face towels are not stained. The unit is quiet and heated up very well. I was able to walk to nearby restaurants and shops. If you're comfortable driving, rent a car from the airport and take your own tours. Stop off at a grocery store for drinks and snacks and enjoy the area. I forgot about the deck sitting area. It looked nice. I was just too tired.

Jeff is managing the property who is well deserved to get 10 STARS!!!! He is an excellent supportive person who is always there just a phone call away and he was very helpful in sharing about the city, tourist info and even went above and beyond to help me when there was a sold out condition..... He arranged to pick up our staff and kept in the office and handed over.... I will strongly recommend Arctic Fox and Jeff to anybody who needs help and not know about Anchorage area.

Our stay was okay. When booking the property we thought we got our own apartment based on the pictures so we felt a bit misled but it was ok. The common areas were shared and you stay in a room at the “inn”. It used to be an apartment so it felt like that vibe. All instructions were given virtually and there was no check in staff. I asked two questions about the remote and the light and it went unanswered. I’d be worried if there was an emergency since they never responded to my question. The place was nice in that it was walking distance to downtown and mostly clean but the fan was very dirty. We did appreciate all the breakfast items offered. However the place was close to a few homeless centers so it felt a bit unsafe at times walking in and out of the property. We did not hear the train noise luckily but the seagulls were really loud haha.

The apartment was clean and convenient to the airport. Contact with the owner was great, very responsive and accommodating. Would highly recommend Artic Fox.

I thought that the staff and their communication was excellent! I will stay again when traveling to Anchorage.

Immediate response when we had trouble w/ entry upon our midnight arrival was much appreciated! Comfortable and extremely clean!

Excellent staff and management

Clean, quiet basement unit. Jeff was very helpful & responsive to our requests.

The entry keypad did not work with the code that I was given.

We have stayed at the Arctic Fox many times going in and out of Anchorage. It has always been comfortable and welcoming. Clean, well decorated and managed. Such a better experience than staying in another chain hotel. Jeff was a great on site host to our needs.

This unit is very convenient but UP hill from the train station. We decided to Uber up the hill due to having baggage. This unit is part of a multi-unit building that is in close proximity to a shelter, but we had ZERO problems and the eclectic neighborhood was walkable to many restaurants! Cute patio and great grassy area for pets! Would reccommend if you are not bougey! :-)

The Arctic Fox is a gem. This was my second stay and I will return. Very walkable to downtown, restaurants and coffee shops.

The Inn was clean and comfortable. The only thing against it is that it a fair walk from anything (restaurants etc), and we weren’t here with a car.

There is a charity facility close by that is frequented by homeless individuals. Some ask for money, others sit around close. One was in the car park of the Arctic Fox. No harm but quite unnerving.

Arctic Fox Inn was perfect. However several Half Way Houses are in the immediate vicinity which made us feel a little uncomfortable as we had to walk through the neighborhood into town.

The property is a 10 minute walk away from restaurants and railway. However, there are a lot of homeless people in the vicinity and it seemed a little unsafe at times, as it’s in a remote area.

While there was a homeless shelter nearby, it didn't feel unsafe. There were frequent trains, but it is located near the port. Very close to downtown and maybe dining options as well as parks and museums. Not far from multiple hiking options, either! The room was clean and mostly comfortable - the couch sank in but wasn't bad.

Very nice B&B. No on-site host, but check-in was easy, room was very nice, and self-serve breakfast more than adequate. Highly recommend.

Great breakfast offerings and unique spot!

Great rooms, clean bathrooms and a good convenient location. Well stacked breakfast room.

we had a great stay - the place was very home-y and spotless. comfy bed. self check-in and fast response if we needed anything. breakfast was a cold breakfast and a bit basic, but got us fed before we headed out. We would stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay. Right on the outskirts of downtown within walking minutes of shopping and restaurants. We had a shared bath but it was very nice and the room itself was cozy and the bed and linens comfortable.

Check in was a breeze with a coded entry door.

We only spent one night there. It was a cozy and clean accommodation. Having a ready coffee in the morning really got my day started. Breakfast items were adequate.

Had to book a room quickly. Was normally as self check in property but manager happened to be on site that day and was super helpful even though he was obviously busy with unexpected task on a Sunday.

Good housing concept. Quality house with a very good interior. Two things disappointed us a little: - not seeing anyone when arriving at the end of the day or before 10 a.m. when leaving, - breakfast was a bit limited. No bread (which for us French is unthinkable) and not really any fresh produce (ham, bacon, cheese, fruit...).

Everything we expected and more. Awesome breakfast spread and very quiet. The room D we chose did not have a private bath but shared bath was spotless and we could tell was looked at to tidy up often
