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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
