Went to Alaska in March 2012 to see the northern lights and stayed in this hotel. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The hotel was very clean, breakfast was good and staff very friendly. I dropped my GPS right outside of the hotel in the -50F weather and staff returned it to me the next day. I saw the... More

We arrived at 1130 pm after traveling 16 hours. We were greeted with a smile. Our room was very comfortable and extremely clean. Impressive. Our complimentary breakfast was good They serve eggs, sausage, waffles, coffee, etc. typical complimentary breakfast. BUT their real treasure is Jackie who makes sure your breakfast needs are met. She is like a bottle of sunshine

I have stayed here twice and both times have been above average. Friendly staff, clean rooms and a better than average free breakfast! This hotel is in a good location and they offer a free taxi shittle from the airport. We will return!

I say, if the bed isn't comfortable, why stay? This stop was well worth the stay! The room was attractive, clean, and comfortable. I loved the large shower too. The only thing I wasn't happy about was that we were told that breakfast was served from 6-9 A.M. On a Saturday morning, when check-out isn't until 11:00, I don't get... More

I've stayed in many places in Fairbanks and I believe I've found my new favorite. Room was clean. The staff was friendly, and the morning breakfast was good. The only thing I didn't like was the coffee in the breakfast bar. They could improve on that.

The hotel has been recently updated and was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and found that it had everything we needed, with plenty of space in the room. It was conveniently located by the airport but was a drive from town- not a whole lot within walking distance. I booked originally on Travelocity and then was charged... More

Room was nicely decorated, I actually liked the smell and products of toiletries, and breakfast was nice. However my room was next to the fitness center and very close to the lobby, which made it loud at night.

Very affordable lodging in Fairbanks. Few minutes from the airport. Spacious rooms. Hotel offers free airport pick up and drop off. Hot breakfast everyday (but go early before all the food runs out). The front desk did overcharge our stay by accident, but as soon as I noticed they fixed it immediately. They also store your luggage. It was a... More
