Great B&B with wonderful hosts!…read more My friend and I stayed three nights in July 2016. We were in town for the Her Tern Half Marathon, and we couldn't have asked for a better location. The start line was literally right in front of the B&B! Super convenient! The B&B is also conveniently located to attractions in Downtown Anchorage. For example, it's only about a 20-25 minute walk to the Alaska Railroad Depot. The hosts really go out of their way to make you feel at home. Vic is super sweet, and I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with him. He offered to drive us to the Alaska Railroad Depot and even offered to drive us to the airport at 5:00 am on our day of departure. We really couldn't have asked for better hosts! The rooms are clean, and we found our room very spacious even though it was the smallest room. The shared bathroom was always clean and had all of the essentials - towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner, a hair dryer, etc. If I'm ever in the Anchorage area again, I will definitely stay here!

Larry and Alan are great hosts with a great sense of humor and are very helpful in pointing out both tourist places but also local restaurants and other places locals like to go. They turned us on to a couple good restaurants and more. There's also a grocery store across the street if you want snacks or other goodies. I'd recommend this 100% - priced fairly, clean, comfortable beds, TVs, WiFi and more.

My "room" was really a small apartment of 3 rooms: bedroom, living room, and small bathroom. All had nice furnishings that fit the time period of the house. Breakfast consisted of hard-boiled eggs, a variety of meats and cheeses, yogurt, and granola. It was filling and a good healthy start to a day of walking. There is a grocery store on the next block, and a bakery two blocks away. The B&B is on I & 13th, which is walkable to just about anything downtown. And you pass by Star the Reindeer on the way!

We stayed here for two weeks while using Anchorage as our home base. The b&b is located such that…read morewe were easily able to walk into town and down to Ship Creek. We walked those routes many times during our stay. It was also very conveniently located within walking distance of the Alaska Rail station. It is not located near any grocery stores, however, so we did a big Costco shop shortly after our arrival in Anchorage. Our room was on the top floor and we had a great view through the living room window. The bedroom has plenty of closet space as well as a comfortable queen sized bed and ceiling fan. The bathroom is small with no bathtub, but has an awesome rain shower. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Because we stayed as long as we did, we did not receive the bagged breakfast offered to other guests. We were asked what we would like and were given fruit, bread, eggs, yogurt, butter, bacon, bananas, apples, oranges and granola. Basically, everything we asked for, we received. It was great being able to make our own breakfasts! Compared to the price of hotels, many of which are located only a block or two away from the Arctic Fox, this place is a good deal. As well, as the privacy of your room, you have access to a large outdoor deck with tables and chairs as well as a grassy area with a table and chairs and there is a common room and a laundry room. A cab to/from the airport cost us just $25. Now, as for the negatives. Anchorage has a homeless problem. Many homeless are attracted to a soup kitchen located within a block of the Arctic Fox. They did not harass us or approach us at any time, but they are there in numbers and it wasn't all that pleasant having to walk by them as often as we did. Most nights we didn't hear them either, but there were a couple of nights where they kept us awake with their shouting. This b&b is also located near the train tracks and during the day, especially if you have your windows open, the trains can be noisy. We were not bothered at night, however, because the bedroom is on the side opposite to where the tracks are located.

I give this place a 3.5 star. Don't get me wrong, we had great service, it just comes down to…read morepersonal preference. We stayed here May 2016. It's about a 20 min walk from the downtown area. We didn't mind walking around but if you want to be close to restaurants/shops this may not be the place for you. It doesn't look like much on the outside but once you're inside, it's pretty. There are no elevators so if you have bags they will help you carry them up. The common area is on the 2nd floor and so was our room. Some rooms share bathrooms. We didn't want to share so we requested a room with your own bathroom. When we checked in, Carol took good care of us, she was our host during our stay. She was a sweetheart, every morning she made breakfast and it was good. Yes, your stay comes with free breakfast. If you can't stay for breakfast just let your host know the day before and they will prepare you a bag and have it ready for you in the morning. House keeping was great! Our room was spotless! The whole place was spotless! The only complaint I have is that the walls are thin. It's an old house, I understand. We are from the east coast so we were in bed by 8pm. When other people came back from dinner we could hear them loud and clear, the walking and closing doors, etc. This was our first time at a Bed & Breakfast so we didn't know what to expect. While we enjoyed our stay we have discovered that we actually preferred hotels over B&B's. If you like B&B's and don't mind walking to the center of town or driving, then I would say give this place a try.

The Historic Anchorage Hotel: What. A. Delight!!…read more Our flight was delayed, so we didn't arrive until 4 a.m., but the staff was suuuper welcoming, and we were able to rest comfortably for the remainder of the morning! Breakfast was an extra-special treat because they had multiple gluten-free options AND gluten-free toast!! (It was a shared toaster, but since I'm not celiac, it was a welcomed gift!) We were able to catch our bus to Seward without a hitch, and the saloon (off the lobby) where we waited and enjoyed breakfast was absolutely magical! There was so much history to take in, and it was such a fun way to experience a little piece of Anchorage's past. The location was also great--close to all the touristy fun and gift shops! Thank you, Historic Anchorage Hotel, for a wonderful and relaxing stay!

We booked this hotel because it was in walking distance to the Alaska Railroad terminal, where we…read morewere coming from after sailing on a long cruise that docked in Seward. It turns out that the two-block walk is up a steep hill, so we needed to wait about 15 minutes for a taxi because walking uphill with all our luggage was impossible. We ended up at the hotel at about 11pm and had an 8am flight the next morning, so all we wanted to do was get some sleep. We arrived at the hotel with a security guard standing by their luggage carts, watching us schlep our four rolling bags. He or nobody else offered to help. The check-in staff was efficient and friendly enough, recommending we take the far elevator because the closer one would involve steps. We walked the length of the hotel, about as long as the cruise ship, pushing a heavy luggage cart. The cart came within millimeters of hitting the smoke detectors on the low ceiling, an uncomfortable feeling like driving a minivan through a low parking garage. When we arrived at our room, we opened the door and there was somebody sleeping in it! More correctly, they were in the adjacent room and the connecting door between the two rooms was open. We closed the connecting door and found ourselves in a studio with a double sized murphy bed with a couch in front of it. We moved the couch, lowered the bed, found pillows on a shelf and tried to sleep. We ending up sleeping only about three hours. The air conditioning was very loud and we used towels from the bathroom as pillows because the pillows were far too thick to be comfortable. Now awake, we checked our reservation and saw that we had reserved a room with a king bed, not a double pullout bed. We called the front desk staff, who again was friendly enough, but there was no manager on duty so they said someone would call us back. We expect in the end we'll get back the points we used for this room as Hyatt Rewards members, but that's not going to make up for the very poor ending to an otherwise wonderful vacation.

A former hotel converted into a JdV property The Wildbirch Hotel is fine, but debatable if worth…read morethe price point. The best aspect of The Wildbirch is the location. The downtown spot puts many of Anchorage's best restaurants in walking distance. Loved that! Their on-site restaurant is also great. They have a super cute pricy gift shop as well with fun and unique items. Otherwise? Meh. The room we stayed in was aesthetically pleasing but not entirely functional or ready. The two beds left very little space between them or to their sides so often felt cramped. The bathroom door, a slider, had a useless lock that couldn't function due to the gap between the track and the frame. The water pressure left much to be desired and the bathroom itself was tiny. The room's condition was suspect upon check-in. The carpet between the beds was very damp and the smell of cleaner made me wonder if the carpet had been hastily cleaned. Which may have explained the splattered material on the bottom of the bathroom door which I could not determine what the splatter was. The room was not quiet. Frequent train whistles punctuated the night. The interaction with the front desk staff was unusual. They were quite evasive with every question. We inquired why the downstair entrance doors were always locked and were told there were characters nearby. We asked if there were safety concerns upon seeing the very attentive, actively patrolling visible security staff. We were told they were there primarily for the parking lot but I always saw them inside the building. The item that got me the most was their insistence we take an alternate route to our room instead of going up the elevator to our floor. No explanation, just insistence. Turns out there's four stairs leading down from our floor's elevator lobby to the hall. That isn't difficult to explain, and not difficult for us to manage. The hallway is very long when staying at the opposite end. The Wildbirch's interior, especially the lobby areas, are very fun and beautiful. For the price point, tho, I'm not sure I'd return with everything else.
