Unique lodge by the airport with excellent service. The lodge has art from Alaskan artists throughout the lodge, a variety of mounted animals, posters of historical facts, trivia and legends. The breakfast buffet and breakfast staff is excellent with just about something for everyone. Early risers may not have to wait in line.
If you wish to see the Aurora Borealis from the lodge, you won’t be disappointed, provided the weather cooperates. You’ll get a wake up call to scurry on outside.
The free shuttle to and from the airport is convenient.
The room was comfortable, although I found the pillows too hard.
Beautiful sunsets and sunrises, too.
There is a disadvantage in that it isn’t really within walking distance of anything to sightsee. There are a few things on the grounds for your entertainment. Their restaurant is within walking distance, right
next door, but everything on the menu was spendy, even the Mac and Cheese. They do offer transportation to downtown Fairbanks, museums, visitor center, etc. but the fee is greater than ride share companies and taxis and it is not available until 1 PM. Not great for early risers, although businesses don’t even open until 10 or 11.
Eco- friendly? Somewhat, effort is made and appreciated. Could use refillable shampoo, conditioner, body wash dispensers mounted in shower and motion detecting lights in the bathroom that shut off when not in use.
Apparently they are expanding and building even more on the property.
