10/10 Exceptional

Not a tourist trap!

You can't beat this place for the money. Most of the hotels in Fairbanks are overpriced summer tourists traps, not this hotel! Our room was clean and tidy. We had a separate room with a couch for watching TV. The man at the front desk was friendly and helpful. They have an airport shuttle that will also get you to the Alaska Railroad depot. We will be return guest.

Staff was extremly nice and the room exceeding our expectations. Will be staying here again and recommending to friends and family
Elizabeth, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Expensive dump

Run down motel with airplanes flying low overhead (noise). This is the kind of place that in most states would run 59.99 /night. Think of a low end Motel 6. Except it's in Fairbanks, Alaska, so they feel justified charging over 200/night. Avoid at all cost.

Very small room and very uncomfortable bed. Close to airport. Very friendly staff.

It’s an inn a bit off the beaten path. A good location to walk to and from. The staff is excellent friendly and helpful. Beyond nice. It’s three stars for the facility five stars for the people!
Ronald, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

They had the most comfortable bed of my entire trip. It was disappointing that there was no coffee maker in the room. You had to go to the office to get it. The continental breakfast was decent. We were right next to the airport but you could not hear airplane noise at all.

Horrible room

Paid for queen bed. The bed was a full not a queen. Room may have been 200sq ft. Carper had ground in dirt in it. Bathtub dirty and stained. Paid $250 for this room. Worth $40 at best. Front desk clerk not friendly.
