We stayed eight days at Sophie's Station and had a very nice visit. The staff was very accomandating. Zach's Restaurant had a variety of good entrees and delicious. My biggest complaint was the reliability and the slowness of their free Wi -Fi. More

I have been traveling to Fairbanks for the last five or so years and have stayed at a variety of hotels. Last year I tried Sophie Station and I haven't thought of trying anything else since. Huge rooms, friendly staff, great location, good price. Why change? More

This Hotel is Geared toward the Weekday Conference Business in the Winter...If you arrive on a Weekend, there is no service...the staff will ignore you...STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE. Sophie Station was the last leg of our Aurora Trip. We had just "roughed" it in Bettles, and were looking forward to a Civilized, easy stay...hot shower, room service. This was based purely... More

Couldn't ask for a better place to stay! The only hotel/motel I've ever stayed in that had decent lighting. Nice, roomy suites, helpful staff, fun bar and good restaurant Just doesn't get any better than that! More

Sophie Station appears on the web as a cosy inn. Acutally it is very large, huge rooms with kitchen and sitting room. Very nice accommodations, actually, and good housekeeping service. There is a decent restaurant, nice breakfast, friendly but slow service at table and at the front desk - but it was still winter when we were there, and maybe... More

I needed to stay in town for a week after my surgery and we chose Sophie's. The suite helped since I was unable to go out to eat and we could cook our own meals to save money. Staff was very helpful when my husband or son needed help since I was unable to walk for several days. My only... More

Sophie Station is convenient to the University, Airport, and the southwest side of town. Fairbanks has limited options to begin with and what I've found is that Sophie Station is not beautiful, and not the world's most comfortable but it is extraordinarily clean, has very good customer service, is reasonably priced, and has a few nice amenities (e.g. all rooms...

Over a period of what must be close to 10 years now, I have stayed at Sophie's (traveling on business) and I honestly cannot think of a negative experience. The hotel is clean, rooms are comfortable and the staff friendly and accomodating. The lounge is a great place to wind down after a hectic day and the restaurant is fantastic.... More

I have stayed at this hotel for the last 2 years off and on and in the last year or so the food menu has gone sooooooooooooo bad that I go off site to eat. I used to like to eat in the bar since Dan and Joe(the old guy), always gave me such good service. I complained to Darryl... More
