Guest Reviews
- kamea (10/5): - did not use the laundry room
- Henry (2/5): - This is not a hotel or motel; it is an Airbnb-style apartment. There is no reception desk and no staff available to answer my questions. The room does not have a thermostat to adjust the temperature, and I was overheated every night during my four-day stay.
- robert (10/5): - adorable place to stay at downtown anchorage
- John (10/5): - Great host, everything clean, comfortable and convenient. Would definitely stay again.
- Jodie (10/5): - The space and comfort were great
- gene (10/5): our favorite in anchorage - 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.
- Tiffiny (8/5): - 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.
- Matthew (10/5): - Arctic Fox went above and beyond to create an amazing stay for us. I strongly recommend this place for a stay in Anchorage. Wonderful time we had for our 10th anniversary. Thank you so much, Jeff!
- Susan (8/5): - Very convenient location with
- John (10/5): - Great breakfast offerings and unique spot!
- Michelle (10/5): - 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.
- Caroline (10/5): - 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
- Anja (10/5): - 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.
- Barb (6/5): - 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.
- James (8/5): - Older building, managed well remotely. Could hear upstairs footprints at 4 am, not the greatest of neighbourhoods but safe.
- David Mike (10/5): - Good price. Area requires you keep your eyes open when walking into town. Would stay there again.
- William (10/5): - Excellent facility accomodations
- Aubrey (10/5): - I overnight in Anchorage one night every month for work. Compared to the prices of other places for this time period, the prices were fair. Easy, contactless check in, clean, & comfortable. I was in Apt 4, room A.
- Sandra (8/5): A - The apartment was clean and convenient to the airport. Contact with the owner was great, very responsive and accommodating. Would highly recommend Artic Fox.
- Sy (10/5): - Great Communication and Lovely Property
- Shahid (8/5): - The check-in instructions were difficult, not enough lighting outside, hard to open the gate, we thought it was permanently locked.
- JAMES (10/5): - Wonderful and cozy
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice kitchen, renovated baths!
- Amanda (10/5): - The host was very accommodating, the rooms were nice, the other guests were respectful and quiet. The price was affordable. The area surrounding the hotel isn’t the greatest but I never felt unsafe. I would absolutely stay there again.
- Dan (10/5): - Nice people! Excellent breakfasts were a pleasant surprise. Thank you Jeff et al.
- mary (8/5): - The property was very nice. The staff was super helpful with any questions. We did not have a car and were a bit uncomfortable trying to navigate to a decent restaurant on foot.
- Jennifer (10/5): - No staff contact, easy entry w/door code. Clean, spacious apartment. Coffee, beer, limited restaurants w/in short walks.
- Eva (10/5): - Room was a bit small but nice. The shared space and kitchen were lovely. All of the breakfast and tea, and coffee items were wonderful. Convenient place to stay. Great place to start our Alaska adventure.
- Charles (8/5): - Overall good value.
- Franklin Dale (10/5): - I liked having a open common area.
- Julian (10/5): 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.
- Natalie (10/5): - Better than I expected and excellent value.
- Don (8/5): - Nice one bedroom apartment with a kitchen. Staff went the extra mile to help us when our flight was cancelled
- Lesa (10/5): - Laundry available, easy walk to restaurants and attractions in downtown Anchorage.
- Jonathan (6/5): - 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.
- Jeff (10/5): - 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.
- MARC (8/5): Good place to stay in Anchorage - Great location in downtown Anchorage. Laundry facility onsite is a plus. Comfortable bed, sofa bed not so much. Friendly and helpful host.
- Loretta (10/5): Enjoyed - The apartment is very clean, spacious & comfortable. The 2 bathrooms were updated and nice.
- Bruce (10/5): - This was a FANTASTIC place to stay! I will stay here every single time I come to Anchorage in the future!!
- James (10/5): - Very clean and the staff was responsive. Great stay. If I'm in the area again this would be a first choice lodging
- Sony (10/5): - Great rooms, clean bathrooms and a good convenient location. Well stacked breakfast room.
- VenkaTRaman (10/5): - 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.
- Lindsey (10/5): - We really enjoyed our stay at this property! The room was very clean and comfortable. Check in was so easy and they did leave options for breakfast which was really nice. The only thing that could make it better would be a personal fridge in the room.
- Robert (10/5): - Very clean and comfy.
- Natascha (10/5): - Great place to stay, had everything we needed. Easy to navigate the area. Clean tidy.
- Mildred (10/5): Great rooms for family or friends - 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.
- Kevin J (10/5): - Don’t let the location on the outskirts of downtown deter you; we found it walkable to shops and restaurants and Anchorage market if you want to walk there. The place was spotless and ALL beds were super comfortable! Plus they had some firm and some squishy pillows which was great. Truly a hidden gem! We would stay again.
- Eileen (10/5): - 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.
- Kenneth (8/5): Nice - 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.
- Lisa (6/5): - 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.
- Beth (10/5): Good value for Anchorage. - 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.
- Lisa (10/5): - Wonderful and affordable spot to land with my son between National Park trips. On site laundry and assistance of property manager elevated this from a budget place to stay to a 5 star recommend.
- Susan (10/5): - Exceptionally comfortable, well decorated and clean. Quiet and centrally located. Manager was friendly and helpful. Best place I’ve stayed (and I’ve stayed in a lot of hotels and bnbs
- Lana (10/5): - Immediate response when we had trouble w/ entry upon our midnight arrival was much appreciated! Comfortable and extremely clean!
- Amy (8/5): - 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! :-)
- Iain (10/5): - Clean, quiet basement unit. Jeff was very helpful & responsive to our requests.
- Tim (10/5): - Very nice place. Both bedrooms were nice
- Adam (10/5): - The Arctic Fox is a gem. This was my second stay and I will return. Very walkable to downtown, restaurants and coffee shops.
- Michael (10/5): - Everything you have at home
- C (10/5): - The room was quite comfortable, very clean, and the environment made us feel like home. Not enough can be said about the host’s excellent hospitality!
- David (10/5): - I thought that the staff and their communication was excellent! I will stay again when traveling to Anchorage.
- Anndrena (8/5): - It was great for the price and for a place to sleep. It was a little hard to find and there were some homeless people around. but all in all, a good place to stay. I would for sure return.
- Zephaniah (10/5): - Everything was nice and clean. The people staying there were respectful and outgoing
- Manu (10/5): Wonderful view, clean and spacious apartment - 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.
- Diane (6/5): Afraid in Anchorage - The apartment was located in a dicey area of Anchorage downtown. The security measures were fantastic, but when you open your door with a homeless person camped 50 feet from the door, it is uncomfortable to say the least. Very clean but older apartment. Manager was very kind allowing us early check-in. However, I would not have stayed without my husband to help me feel safe. No view from this room. The view was the backside of a building with garbage dumpsters. I wish this was communicated in the description. Felt much safer in the woods than in this area of Anchorage.
- Robyn (8/5): - 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.
- Theodore (8/5): - 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.
- Lucie (10/5): Great location - A nice 2 bedroom apartment, just 10 minutes from the centre of town. Good facilities, full kitchen and access to laundry facilities. Our apartment was very comfortable and well appointed. Happy to recommend.
- christine (8/5): - Comfortable unit, more like an apartment than a hotel room. The property is located at the end of a short street- which makes it a little quiet in terms of having no through traffic, but also a little dark and deserted feeling if you arrive late at night. Hosts were great about communicating what I needed to know to access unit and be comfortable there.
- Gavin (8/5): - Our nice, simple studio apartment was a great option for our stay in Anchorage. Easy walk to downtown and waterfront. Our host, Jeff, was very responsive and helpful.
- Sita (6/5): - 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.
- Luisa (8/5): - Very nice property with clear and well communicated guidance from host. It’s about a 12 min walk to downtown which was fine for us.
- Donna (6/5): Due to room type/ no entitlement breakfast - Was fine for our stay BUT single beds uncomfortable (squeeze), floors cracked sound when walking. Pillows 👎. For hygiene, pillows should have proper protectors on them(changed every room change.) & no proper bed protectors. Chain on ceiling fan broken, short. No sachets of tea/coffee etc. nor toiletries/hair dryer. Travellers from overseas don’t carry somethings.
- Andy (6/5): - Stayed in the apartments. Lots of space but the kitchenette could be better stocked.
- Mary (6/5): - 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.
- Beth (10/5): - Excellent stay at the Arctic Fox Inn. VERY clean and super cute! Enjoyed out stay!
- Michael (6/5): - Great room but in sketchy area. Just down from the homeless shelter. Loud in early evening. No curb appeal.
- Annette (10/5): - The door entry lock wasnt working so staff was right on site to help. Breakfast was small but enough for on the run. Not a fan of the shared bathroom for 3 rooms but it worked. Great stay overall!
- Phillip (10/5): - Great little bed & breakfast. Super clean & right downtown
- Joseph (8/5): - Property was not in an ideal location. The bathroom area was quite small. The overall property was very nice and clean.
- Laura (10/5): - Easy walking to shops and dining. Very quiet and quaint place.
- Cynthia (10/5): Comfortable out of the way apartment. - We had a very comfortable stay. The apartment is super nice with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. The Inn is located in an odd place but I can tell you we always felt comfortable coming and going.
- Denise (10/5): - We stayed in room 5 (I believe). It was on the top floor and was very nicely laid out and well appointed. The bathroom was nice and the bedroom was ample size. The living area felt very spacious with an abundance of windows for natural light. Even though air conditioning was not supplied, there was a ceiling fan and windows to open in the bedroom. We were in busy Anchorage, but the nighttime wasn't especially noisy. The only negative was the surrounding area was a bit shabby and there were a few homeless people that had taken up residence nearby. The police made an appearance and asked them to relocate.
- Robert (6/5): - This property is 3/4 mile from the train depot and not really near any restaurants or shops. The walk passes a number of shelters making the location a little sketchy. On a positive note the suite was very nice and the owner is very responsive and helpful.
- Balazs (8/5): - Hidden lil place. The area is full of homeless drug addicts but not on the backstreet where the hotel is. Good beds home feel place, was all good for us. Clean
- Anthony (10/5): - The property itself was perfect! However, the area around the inn wasn’t great. With that said, we weren’t really going to walk anywhere so it didn’t matter. We were in a 2 bedroom and it was clean and spacious. Would definitely recommend it and stay here again!
- Sabrina (8/5): - As others have mentioned, the property is near a homeless shelter - HOWEVER, truly it was a non-issue. The homeless population is everywhere, and generally quite safe and respectful. The property was clean, roomy, comfortable and very nice. The beds were comfortable, only down side was the noise of the planes due to proximity to airport. And, there is a great little coffee shop within walking distance (AK Alchemist!!)
- Nancy (10/5): - We were pleasantly surprised. Had everything we needed and then some. Within walking distance to everything! Highly recommend it.
- kurt (10/5): - The property was very comfortable and clean.
- Tracie (6/5): - 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.
- Richard (10/5): Great stay at the Arctic Fox! - Our arrival went great and we were very happy with our stay. The location fit our needs and we couldn’t have been happier!
- Eric (8/5): - The suite was excellent, big, clean, nice view. As others have said, it’s near a homeless shelter, and some of them were rather loud at times and wandering around. But we had no issues otherwise.
- anagha (2/5): - 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.
- Maureen (6/5): - The room itself we have no major complaints with although this is not a traditional hotel in the sense that there is no one on the property (for check in, etc.), no facilities of any kind, etc.The room itself was well equipped for longer stays. Very limited dining in the immediate area.The train whistle can be heard every once in awhile but it was not too disruptive. There were screaming homeless people in the lot in front of our room one night and the area feels unsafe IMO. I would personally not walk anywhere from there. It's off the beaten path from downtown and just sketchy. There was a sign in the room stating that guests should keep doors closed and locked at all times due to recent bear sightings. My husband and I (he born and bred in AK) laughed and said, OK -more like drug addicts/homeless as opposed to bears. I guess anything is possible but I would be more concerned about the latter. Maybe someone on site might help the feeling of being isolated in a rather concerning part of town.
- Shannon (10/5): Great place to stay in Anchorage - The Artic Fox Inn was impeccably clean and well maintained and felt very comfortable in the unit. Communication before and during stay was excellent and the check-in and check out was easy and fast.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Nice apartment in a not-so-nice neighborhood - The apartment is fine. We had a small issue with the self checkin lock, but it was resolved quickly. The neighborhood is not great. There's lots of undesirable activity, no stores or restaurants, and no convenient access to the train station.
- Helena (6/5): - Communication was difficult - phone was not answered and email request to late check out was not acknowledged. Unit was bright and clean.
- Margherita (6/5): Fair, with problems - It was an ok stay. The hotel is in a fair location, at the rougher end of downtown. The unit was reasonably well maintained and had everything I needed for my two nights stay. Unfortunately, what let it down is the wi fi not working for the vast majority of the time I was there. As there was also no 4G, as a solo traveler, I felt quite isolated, being unable to communicate with family back home or with the owner. This made things particularly awkward the morning I was supposed to catch a train to Seward and I was unable to either call a Uber or look for directions. Fortunately, the Ramada next door saved the day. I understand that the wi fi can occasionally be down, but not for a whole 48 hours, and not when you are paying nearly $ 250 a night.
- Yunjian (6/5): - Shower head was broken.
- James (8/5): - You will have a wonderfully clean apt. and comfortable. The reality of the homeless population in the area is stark but we were not bothered. Twenty minute walk to wonderful bike rentals and restaurants.
