A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“When we got to fairbanks it was -20° and it was so nice to walk into a warm room. The room was clean and sheets fabulously crisp clean and so soft. When we rented a car at the airport she raved about the owners and she was right. The lady at the front deas was super helpfull and nice. Loved how close they where to Fred Myers and a really good coffee shop.”
“What it lacks in renovations, it more than makes up for in friendliness, cleanliness, and comfort. It's an older Motel (kind of fun getting an actual KEY to open the door), but the staff is simply the BEST! The room was CLEAN and the bed and pillows were comfortable, and even my TINY room had a fridge and microwave. You'll hear your neighbors, but a mandatory quiet hours policy helps and I didn't hear a thing after 8:00 pm. I slept soundly! Nice variety for continental breakfast in the morning. Again, can't say enough about the staff. VERY kind and helpful.”
“The room was small but very efficient and clean. Everything worked well. Shower was strong and hot. The breakfast was great for a small Continental. Lots of choices. The staff was awesome on arrival and departure. Arrived a couple hours early and they didn't try to milk me for more money. Happily checked me right in. Airport shuttle left promptly with a friendly driver. Freddies and Safeway near by along with several food options. All walking distance. Highly recommend for the money!!!”
“The location was really nice, quick walk to Fred myers, Safeway and some restaurants. Very convenient when you didn't wanna rent a car. The service was very nice, everyone there was welcoming. We got a car ride from amd to the airport which was amazing! The two who drove us drove very safe. The breakfast was smaller but I enjoyed it. Kept me full for the morning! The rooms were good. Not my favorite. They were clean, pretty small. And the walls were pretty thin we could hear our neighbors pretty well. Beds were comfy, on the softer side. Bathrooms were good. Overall nice hotel! Glad we stayed here!”
“The room is simple, but it has a microwave , a refrigerator, heating, and everything you need for a comfortable stay. We stayed during Christmas, 2025 and the manager kindly shared local information and tips about viewing the aurora. He welcomed us very warmly. We stayed during Christmas, and even during the holiday season, the manager took the time to kindly share local information and tips about the aurora. His warm welcome made our stay very peaceful. Thank you so much.”
