tripadvisorGreat accomodations, clean, cozy, comfortable. Reasonable walk to the Railroad Depot and Downtown. Great staff, everything spotless, they went the extra mile to make things go smoothly. Quiet neighborhood, but trains could be heard at times. Actually enjoyed that. Our room was a bit small, but very comfortable and clean and the price was good. The self serve breakfast had a nice selection and it worked well with our schedule. Would definitely stay here again.
MoreAnchorage is an expensive place and the Arctic Fox Inn represents good value for money and a good level of comfort with plenty of room. A clean and well-maintained property, we had Apt. 5 which was well appointed and spacious (though the sofa does need replacing and the mattress is getting on a bit too). There is some noise from outside activity but really not enough to stop you getting sleep and the area appears down-at-heel but certainly NOT dangerous. An easy 15-20 mins from the train station and the centre of town, this place is well located and is better than some of the nearby hotels. There is no breakfast offered anymore (in keeping with most places in North America) and whilst the remote check in is efficient, there is no easy way to communicate with the owners. We had a problem with our lock (our fault, we were too quick in pushing the door rather than waiting for 30 seconds for the mechanism to automatically unlock) when I phoned the emergency number, I was put through to voice mail giving me another number to phone - unfortunately, I had no pen and paper ready. When I phoned again, there was no reply. E-mail requests went unanswered too. This could cause a problem. Still, we enjoyed our stay here and would certainly recommend it over nearby hotels.
MoreSafety 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.
MoreThis 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.
MoreWe loved our nest at the Arctic Fox for the time we stayed there . Comfortable, clean , friendly, light and a beautiful view . We loved the space, opportunity to prepare meals and socialize. Bedroom and bed comfortable and made us sleep well. We recommend Apt 5 of the Artic Fox !
