What guests think

Jewel Lake Bed and Breakfast offers a home-style stay near the airport, with quiet surroundings, easy self check-in, and well-stocked shared kitchens; many guests praise comfortable rooms, cozy common areas, and good value for short stopovers.

Some reviews note small basement rooms and unusual bathroom layouts with raised fixtures, occasional noise heard downstairs from footsteps above, and dated or worn elements. Cleanliness is generally solid but inconsistent in places, with a few reports of musty odors, leftover items, or minor maintenance issues. Breakfast is self-serve rather than cooked-to-order, with ample basics; staff interaction is mostly via messages, which many find responsive while others miss in-person service. Expect a convenient, low-frills, homey base close to the airport.

This B&B was conveniently located to either end of the city for touring and was in a very quiet area. Other guests were respectful of rules concerning quiet hours. Laundry availability was limited but was not detrimental to enjoying the stay.

The B & B was comfortable and quiet, and located very close to the airport. There were several rooms on the first floor, and several rooms below grade. A full service kitchen was available, as well as a smaller kitchen. We never talked to or met the owners, but check-in was very well documented and easy. Breakfast was ample, but was more similar to breakfasts offered at hotels (yogurts, toast, bagels, hard boiled eggs, juice, milk, fruit, etc. - more grab and go type foods). Parking was very tight, but sufficient. The B & B was clean and quiet.

This is a very cute place to stay. The room was comfortable with plenty of outlets. The closet was adequate. Even though it was located next to a street, it was very quiet inside. There was a nice living room to sit in. Breakfast was an extensive fix what you want. There were hard boiled eggs in the fridge along with yogurt, both cow and plant based milks. Real butter is a plus. :-) There were also eggs you could fry. There was oatmeal and cold cereal. Granola bars and breakfast bars were also available. There is both a Keurig and a drip coffee maker. I appreciated the sandwich condiments in the upstairs kitchen. A bonus is the downstairs kitchen one can use.It has a big refrigerator and stove. It is well stocked with all kinds of pans. A microwave is there. The only drawback I found was the hand soap in our bathroom and the downstairs kitchen. There were bubbles in the container but it felt more like water. It did make bubbles on my hands. I find Softsoap refill thick so I always dilute mine but I feel that this was diluted too much. I used the shower gel instead to wash my hands. A funny note, the bed in our room make a squeaking sound that sounded like a duck!

Second time staying at Jewel Lake. Love this little spot! So easy, coming in through Anchorage, as a quick overnight stop before heading down the peninsula. My bed was like sleeping in a supportive cloud. I never sleep well my first night away no matter how comfortable I am but I slept so well and was so rested here!! Coffee and breakfast items were simple but just enough. I enjoyed being able to grab just the things I needed/wanted and enjoy a bite before hitting the road. Though there are also plenty of options nearby. Parking is a breeze... And anytime I text with questions or comments I get an immediate response. Jess is wonderful! I plan to make this my regular stop for every trip to AK.

Everything about this property, and our stay was amazing, with the one exception that the entrance was not plowed. Had we brought our rear wheel vehicle we would not have made it into the property to be able to stay, luckily, we had our four-wheel-drive vehicle, but even then it was a challenge. Very unsafe unplowed entrance from the street.

It was very easy to check in but there are about 8 stairs outside to get to the lobby and unleash the room on the main floor, there are also 8 steps to go downstairs. The kitchen on the main floor is very well equipped with cookware, silverware, plates and cups as well as necessary cooking items ( oil, spices, etc). The refrigerator was full of bread, bagels, eggs, butter, cream cheese, milk for the guests consumption. The room we had ( Denali 1) is very small and the bed was too sort for us, the common area is very pleasant. The location requires a car. Short ride from the airport and train depot but need a car/uber.

Cute little BnB. Close to Airport. Shared spaces were nice. Rooms comfy and clean. We left before breakfast. Only thing to be aware of is the stairs going to downstairs rooms. I had a heavy bag and stairs were tricky. But it was a lovely stay. Will use again.

It was nice to cook rather than go out as we were drained. We slept well and left early for the airport. I would stay here again, it is much better and better priced than a hotel.

Communications with staff were great, the self serving breakfast options were great, instructions were simple and easy to follow, but the cleanliness overall was less than optimal (bathroom had hair all over the floors and in the shower on the floor and walls, bath towels/washcloths were dingy and I felt dirtier using them). Ended up cancelling a later planned stay here just because of the cleanliness.

Our bedroom was not nearly so nice as the photo of the shared living space displayed on the website. We had a basement room that smelled musty with some dampness in the carpet. There was little room around the beds (Queen size and single combination). All plumbing fixtures in the bathroom were elevated about 9 inches, presumably because of retro-fitted plumbing. We had to avoid some sharp screw heads that stuck out on the small platform that held the toilet. There was no good place to put your feet while sitting there. On the plus side, we appreciated the comfort of the bed, the breakfast foods supplied in the upstairs refrigerator, and the use of a clothes washer and dryer.

We chose this B&B for the location close to the airport. Upstairs kitchen and living room with fireplace were nice. Self-service breakfast items were plentiful, and we like that there were cups and plates and no single use plastic items. We and our friends stayed in two of the basement rooms, which were poorly put together (squeaky uncomfortable beds, bathrooms with a high step to the shower). The rooms as well as the downstairs kitchen looked like a very poor DIY job (peeling paint, peeling veneer on the countertops, moldy caulk in the showers). We have a hard time understanding how they got their ratings.

Did not meet any staff directly. The room was extremely warm, we did turn down thermostat (after locating in hallway), turned on fan which was pretty dirty. Bathroom was not ideal. Big one foot step up to toilet & shower. Hole ceing and our shower had ceiling stuff all over the floor. Also had a dirty washcloth left from previous occupant (?). It was a decent place to stay before leaving Alaska, but would not have wanted that Caribou room for longer. Upstairs kitchen was nicely stocked and clean.

We were worn out from trip so didnt bother us as we went straight to our room. Room was a little warm, but with ceiling fan and floor fan was able to cool room down pretty fast and enough to sleep. Everything else was AWESOME! Very nice B&B. Decor, kitchen self-serve, check-in. Considering what we needed, it fit our needs. Would stay here again and highly recommend!

This is a very weird set-up as the individual rooms are in the basement of the home. We were in the Aurora room which is entered right off of the basement kitchen. You enter into the bathroom which is very strange. The plumbing is under platforms on which the shower/tub and toilet sit, so getting on and off the toilet is an adventure. The room feels like a dungeon with low ceilings that are stained. The window opens up to ground level with a view of an old RV. The beds were clean and pretty comfortable with the twin bed more of a cot/roll-away looking thing. This was a better option than the highly over-priced chain hotels in Anchorage, and we felt safer in this area than in the busy part of the city.

Don't recommend the downstairs rooms as we were woken up at 6am by someone in loud boots walking back and forth in the kitchen for two hours until it was time for us to get to the airport. It's a very decent place to stay but there's a reason only the downstairs kitchen is for guests to use. I wish there was a sign upstairs about it. Beds are a little squeaky but comfortable. I will definitely be back but wow I am frustrated we couldn't sleep due to another guest. Please make more obvious signage so people can sleep!

The service and room was terrible. The bed sheet in the room was unchanged and fill with crumbs. We couldn't even sleep in the bed. I tried calling and texting the customer number that was provided, there was no answer. There was not a single person in sight at the hotel. Even after checking out the hotel I was not contacted after leaving a message. If I can rate it zero star I would. We'll not be returning to this place again.

Although it was nearly check out we had laundry going and nearly done and was throwing people out before 11 which was check out. The bed was so comfortable it was like a cloud but she totally was a rude owner.

Jewel Lake B&B is a quaint place and was perfect for our 1-night stay. The bus stop is right in front and provided cheap transportation to the airport. The breakfast options were a little limited - individually packaged boiled eggs, raw eggs which you could cook, coffee & tea options, some fruit, and granola bars. We didn't mind because it was significantly cheaper than getting a hotel in the airport area, even after taking an Uber to get breakfast at a diner. We did have to go a few miles away to find a restaurant for a late breakfast, as the closest option we found isn't open every day. The decor was nice and had a homely feel. I would have liked to have more time to sit on the porch or in the breakfast room. Overall, I would recommend this place as a great alternative to a hotel.
