This was our second stay at the Arctic Fox but our first time with the new ownership. Not the same experience.
We missed the wonderful breakfast and social ambiance that we so loved. There was no contact with the new ownership other than by phone or email.
The kitchen wasn't nearly appointed as other BnB's we've stayed at. We had to purchase many items that we left for the next guests. The bathroom toilet seat was broken, everything was dusty and the floors were dirty.
We stayed in the bottom floor as that was the only room available. The sidewalks leading to the room are cracked and chipped, dangerous tripping hazard.
The picture you see here offers a glorious look from a side view. Always try for an upper floor when you stay.
The Arctic Fox could really be lovely with some maintenance and care.

Neighborhood was not great, pictures shown here are NOT one of the units I stayed in. Most light switches didn't turn anything on, the lamps didn't work, bathroom outlet by sink didn't work so had to get ready in the front room with a dim light. Toilet was wobbly. Heard someone outside my window at night, woke up to socks by my car and a pair of shoes further down the alley. For a female traveling alone for work, was a bit unnerving.

The look of the place from the outside and the neighborhood(especially for a woman traveling alone) is kind of sketchy—the place, perhaps looks better when it’s sunny and not rainy. However, when you get into the building, it’s a little oasis. There wasn’t a hair dryer —but after I called, the management remedied the situation quickly. The only negative—and I’m not sure if it was coming above me at the place, or on the outside—but music was being played loudly —and I could keep my window open. Overall though, I would recommend—there is an open shared living space that’s like a living/dining room and a kitchen —w/lots of breakfast options. The rate for the place was very reasonable. You’re also not far from the Anchorage airport or the downtown area.

Stayed 3 nights in top floor apt, 1 bed, 1 bath. Clean, has everything you need, lots of windows, great view from this top floor, open private deck. Felt very safe at unit. Will hear train noises so if you're sensitive, use sound machine. Can walk to some local eatery places but area is kind of sketchy at night. Walk with someone should be fine. The management friendly & responded very quickly to any concerns. Check in, in/out of your apt door is with use of electronic keypad & my keypad did fail once. Management responded quickly so I was only delayed by 30min. I did see 2 other travelers in diff units having difficulty with their keypads. My only suggestions are: since daylight is longer in summer, need more black out curtains in living room area for sofa sleepers; laundry room needs longer hours (open 4pm-10pm) and if we are out most of the day sightseeing, we do laundry in the evening... difficult to get more than 1 load in, esp if all units are sharing 2 machines.

Check-in procrss was confusing; provided feedback to update the instructions. Remotely managed but quick responses via text. Accomodate keeping luggage after checkout.

Not the best part of town but not bad. We walked from there to main part of downtown.

I truly enjoyed my stay. The building and room were comfortable and like home. The area was quiet. I truly enjoyed the Inn way more than going to a hotel. Thank you, Jeff, for the communication and hospitality. You were a great host and I had a good time conversing with you and your daughter. Until next time, Cheers!

First the people were fantastic. Some of the friendliest I’ve met. However there is so much more to a property than the staff. First the overall property is in pretty rough shape and the staff were working hard to get it up to speed however much of the property was under repair. The room we had was on the third floor and had a nice view from the living room however the stairs are narrow and if you have luggage you will have to carry one at a time. The bedrooms really could benefit from new beds - they were uncomfortable and incredibly springy. The window treatments did not block out the street lights - highly recommend investing in proper drapes. The ceiling fans were nice especially when trying to cool off. The shower was okay - the water pressure was a little low. Cleanliness wise there are some areas that can be addressed such as windowsills, corners of rooms. Oh and please invest in pillows. Simple touches like drapes, pillows and tidying up the second floor deck will step this properly up.
For people who complain about noise - it’s a city - I hear the same noises at my home. The only drawback is I can close my windows. The windows here need to be open to get a breeze as there is no AC. But the noise wasn’t that bad.
I really do believe that with some investment this place could be a great alternative with a great price vs the hotel chains.

Unfortunately this place is not in a very good area of Anchorage. Also we found the rooms on the main floor so noisy. There is no insulation in the walls And the rooms upstairs you can hear everything. It also was advertised as a B & B but we were disappointed to find it was only a bag of cold food left in the fridge overnight. The bathroom had been recently redone and was nice. Just would not recommend this place to anyone due to the area and noise.

Room was mostly clean and location walkable to downtown but surrounding area not the best and train whistle was super loud throughout day and night. Could also hear people in next room quite loudly. Apt we stayed in needs some further updating/fixing.

Beautiful interior, spacious room, lovely and CLEAN. We don’t love a shared bathroom (and if you book direct, you can probably get a private bath for the price we paid here :(, but it was fine for one night. Two drawbacks - cold breakfast in a bag (and half was prepackaged junk) and a very worn out bed. Not having good sleep made the breakfast worse, I’m sure! The bed has a big middle dip and we both kept sliding into it. So…not really a bed and breakfast (where I stay to get a good and special meal, not a cold egg and plain bagel) but a clean respite for a night.

Everything was great. We needed a place overnight. Quiet. We walked to the train station.

I called three days before checkin to update the number of guests. The man I talked to said that because there were enough beds for the extra guests, there would not be an additional charge. But when we arrived, they charged us an additional $120.00. We could have cancelled three days before but not after we arrived.

Loved this B&B! I knew that we had a shared bathroom, and it was SO clean and only shared between 2 rooms. The kitchen, dining area, and living room are beautifully decorated and cozy, and the staff (we met at least 4 people) were friendly and accommodating. I would absolutely stay here again.

I thought the location was OK but would opt for another hotel closer to downtown next time. First time staying at a B&B and the noise level was way higher than expected. Literally conversations going on to my right, left and below me while trying to sleep. I thought I would be able to walk downtown but the homeless population near the hotel made it very uncomfortable. Approached twice by homeless men while walking to and from the property.
Outside of brewing hot tea or coffee from tap water, no drink options provided. I ended up going to Walmart to buy a case of bottled water. I would recommend a courtesy bottle of water in the room.
While sitting out on the deck, a man in a high rise across the street kept yelling 'hey lady'. Not the most peaceful experience.
The best of the stay was meeting some great people over breakfast, all of which were very satisfied with the room (and had rental cars).

The owner/managers were very friendly and I liked the sack breakfast. Of the 5 places we stayed throughout our stay in AK , the Arctic Fox was our favorite.

We were very pleased with the quality of the updating/remodeling of our suite; decore very tastful and pleasing. Staff (Teneesha) was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the generous bagged breakfasts being delivered the evening before. Liked the code entry (keyless). Downtown Anchorage does have its share of homelessness so be respectful but watchful. We would happily stay at Arctic Fox Inn again and would recommend to others.

Artic Fox was a nice place to stay. Staff was welcoming, brought our breakfasts to the apartment the night before. Couple of homeless people sleeping on the corner near hotel, but did not feel unsafe walking by. Would stay here again!

The train is your alarm clock.
The breeze into our room was awesome. Bed was welcoming. Great place to have as a center of travel adventure’s. Ease to walk to downtown ANC.
Just wished someone would of given us a heads up about the place being sold. But all worked out. The girls were awesome!

Convenient to downtown Anchorage. Comfortable and wonderful breakfast!

This place is spacious and super clean. It's not in the greatest area and you get a bagged breakfast the night before which is not the breakfast buffet praised in prior posts and not sure why they do it because they aren't concerned about covid as they don't wear masks when they deliver it or in the property. But this place is absolutely spotless and our apartment was huge. We had a great night's sleep. Would have loved a good breakfast especially because they call themselves a B&B...

Well maintained, sparkly clean. Very pleasant, except Noisy Neighborhood.
