Overall Ratings & Reviews Jewel Lake Bed and Breakfast

Jewel Lake was a house style Bed and Breakfast. You make your own breakfast, but the kitchen was stocked well. Our room was in the basement with steep stairs so I don’t recommend those rooms for older travelers. There are rooms on the main floor of the house. Clean and comfortable. We would recommend for a short stay. Most people use it for cruise layover time. We took an Uber into Anchorage and did a tour which was fun too.

It is a self service breakfast situation, with lots of simple options in the fridge and on the counter available. You can cook your own eggs if you’d like. Rooms four through six are in the basement level, with high windows.

No

Common areas were nice and comfortable. Convenient to have self- service breakfast which was adequate. Denali room was barely big enough for the bed, and accompanying bathroom was very small. But convenient to airport and close to coastal trail if you have time to kill.

Clean, easy parking, clear communication, great amenities

When we arrived my room was very warm? There was no way to cool it down except by putting a fan in the window. Got up the next morning to find the hot water was not working. The water was freezing!!! It took around 45 minutes to get hot water for a shower. I was not happy with my stay there

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.

When is a suite not a suite? When it’s the Alaskan suite. It’s actually three separate rooms: one smallish bedroom with a double bed, another bedroom with twin beds and a bathroom at the end of a short corridor accessed through a pair of swing saloon doors - which any of the other guests could walk through if they chose to ignore the printed sign stating the bathroom was for use by Alaskan suite guests only. The bedroom doors had keypad entry, which, if you kept the doors closed you had to unlock each time. Plus you wouldn’t want to leave the doors open at night as anyone could walk in. Also if using the bathroom you could be seen entering it by anyone who happened to be in the breakfast room at the end of the short corridor - so no privacy (especially not if you’re in nightwear or less!) To call it a suite there should be a lockable door leading to the three rooms and not a pair of swing saloon doors. The so called ‘self serve’ breakfast was not buffet style to help yourself to (rather than table service) but help yourself to whatever you can find in the fridge and cook it yourself. All we could find was one hard boiled egg, some fresh eggs, two yoghurts, some milk, some small cartons and tins of juice and some bread and bagels. On the side there were some cereals and sachets and a little fruit. Not my idea of a breakfast at a B&B. The rooms were on the dingy side one had a tear in the carpet. We were booked in for 2 nights but left after one. Can not recommend

Clean, quiet and close to the airport

Clean quiet and very welcoming. Great location.

The first thing I noticed when I opened my room door was a raised toilet without any privacy. I saw black water coming out of the faucet when I turned on. There was no closet to hang clothes and no desk in the room.

It was clean and comfortable, would definately reccomend the Jewel B&B for anyone traveling to Anchorage!

Was the perfect place to overnight. Very peaceful and felt right at home.

This was a comfortable, clean stay.

Very easy to get to and very easy to get to room.

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.

Clean with a good breakfast.

Friendly staff and very helpful

Very nice alternative to a hotel!

Fast Check In. Good Value. Nice Location.
