Jewel Lake Bed and Breakfast

The place was adequate for 2 nights in Anchorage. Our room was in the basement. There’s a window so we had natural light. No AC but a fan in the window. The room was very clean. The bathroom was unusual with a step going to the toilet and shower. Made for a little uneasy feeling since I get up during the night. The kitchen was stocked. It’s a bed and breakfast but a serve yourself breakfast. It’s in a very good location for the train and airport. The owner was in contact with me several time to be sure we had everything we needed for our stay.

Super convenient and well thought out place but none of the outlets or chargers in our room worked. We had to use the common areas to charge the phones. We were in the basement, which I was grateful for since it was hot and there’s no a/c- -totally normal for Alaska- but lots of noise of people walking around upstairs. I’ve been in other rooms here before and had a better experience. It’s a great “budget friendly” option and was convenient to Kincaid park which we needed but next time, I’ll probably look elsewhere.

The location is conveniently located approximately 5 mins from the airport. It was a safe neighborhood with a church across the street. Walmart & Costco just a few miles away. Windows open in the bedrooms for fresh air sleeping. The owners no longer cook breakfast since COVID, but provided a refrigerator full of everything you might need for a breakfast feast. Owners have a nice selection of take-along snacks and fresh fruit for guest consumption. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, & bakeware. Washer/dryer available in basement. Location does not have first floor accommodations; must be able to climb 5+ stairs. Parking is limited and unmarked. Furnishings are comfortable and decor is Alaska themed. Host/owner is on site and responsive. Overall a great place to stay whether just passing through or needing a good base for daily excursions. We would definitely stay here again.

Loved the laundry room and overall experience
