I chose the Golden North Motel since it is in close proximity to the Fred Meyer store and wasn't sure if I was going to rent a car or not and may have needed to use bus service and since you can wait for the bus inside at Fred Meyer in the cold winter it is a plus. I ended... More

The three Baers run this family owned hotel. "Momma Baer" and her two adult sons graciously greet new arrivals and do an exceptional job to accommodate individual needs. While enjoying refreshments in the artistically cozy lobby it soon becomes evident why many of are returnees to this very clean, attractive and especially friendly place. The Baers are long time Alaskans... More

Great little place, a little off the beaten path, but the rooms are clean and comfortable. The price is right too. The staff is very friendly and long time residents of Fairbanks, so ask them questions!! They will tell you about cool things to do. More

nothing special. Big fans,very big, but in Alaska you don't need artificial wind so...clean inside but dirty outside the room. Closed to a night club. Worst place in 2 weeks in Alaska More

I ended up at the Golden North by accident when another booking fell through. Luckily they had a room available and it was under $100 so I was pleased with that. The motel is quite near what looks like a strip club or girly bar so as a single woman I felt a little weird walking when it got dark... More

The motel is a budget motel. It is modest, but served its purpose. The owner and her sons were very nice. They picked us up at the airport without blinking. The room had a refrigerator and microwave with free WiFi. Coffee and muffins every morning. Very close to the airport. Planes fly directly over the motel. More

Close to airport, hotel offers free van pickup within minutes of calling. Staff very helpful. Hotel is older with very small, outdated, rooms and thin walls (could hear person snoring in next room). You get what you pay for. Free colffee and muffins in morning, manager offered use of computer in office. Bus stop located at Fred Myer is 5... More

A nice surprise to stay at a less expensive place than just down the road. Fairbanks is expensive but we lucked out at the golden north. We saw the sandhill crane migration and the alternative energy fair at Chena Hot Springs. A small room with a small bed and questionable fixtures in the bathroom, but this is Fairbanks so stop...

I was in Fairbanks in July and stayed at the Golden North. This was not the first time I stayed there and it will not be my last. The staff treats the guests great and will bend over backwards to serve you. I live in Alaska and when I am staying overnight in Fairbanks, this is where I stay. Very... More
