Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I appreciated my short stay because all of the staff was very professional, and it was very convenient from the airport. I chose this place because there was an airport shuttle. However, I was not impressed by the lack of toiletries that are usually expected from inns or hotels. The makeup remover in the sachet was dry (letting me know that it's old and probably should have been thrown away). The room was very basic too, but it was clean. I did not have access to the thermostat so I felt that the room was still very cold. There was also no hair blower/dryer so I could feel my hair freezing when I stepped out at -35F weather. I did appreciate the breakfast bar and the wifi. There was a fridge and microwave oven in the room (which I did not use). Overall, everything was reasonably priced. I would still recommend this place for those who just needed a short stay. But, if you are planning a 2-week visit to Fairbanks, this might not be the best option for you.

The room is clean, spacious, bed comfortable, staff friendly. We requested ground floor for my senior companion and was given a spacious wheelchair access room. Breakfast simple but good enough to fill your hunger in the early morning without having to leave hotel.
