Fairbanks, Alaska Hotel Rooms at the Independent

We flew into Fairbanks and were picked up at the airport for a short ride to the Rivers Edge. Very cute private cottages, lots of hanging flower pots, clean rooms with outside tables to enjoy the patios. Had dinner at the Chena's Alaskan Grill which was a short walk from our place and can be reserved through the hotel site, good food-reasonable prices for a steak house kind of meal- and breakfast in the main lodge. Breakfast a little pricey for the buffet but good food, they have a continental option or full breakfast and they provide a shuttle to the train station. The only downside would be dragging the suitcases over the gravel driveway to the rooms but I am sure the staff would assist if asked. All in all a great start to our trip, should have booked two nights and explored Fairbanks more.

I was very pleased overall. The best thing about the stay was the friendly front desk staff. That was very much appreciated, all 3 people I dealt with were very friendly and helpful. Since it was winter, my hours didn't match up with the courtesy van, so they promptly hired a cab for me both ways from the Airport. Room was clean and comfortable and quiet. Water pressure was great, and cold right from the tap within a short time. Breakfast was good, waffles, yogurt, fruit, typical stuff, all good, everything clean and organized. If you get there early enough and like sweet potato fries, have an order at the Finish Line with a cold beer, VERY GOOD. I wish more restaurants would have them, regular fries are just grease!

A great place to stay while in Fairbanks. Close to both downtown, public transportation, and major highways. The rooms are quite large. Free breakfast was unexpected bonus.

Owing to an error regarding our booking, we were not expected when we arrived but the owners of the B&B rescued the situation by upgrading us to the only room they had left which was an excellent suite. The comfort and cleanliness level provided was very good and the breakfasts likewise. Marnie and Lambert are excellent hosts.

Lodge is quirky with mix of bric a brac and Alaska memorabilia. Rooms are spacious, views close to unparalleled, and terrific hosts who went so far out of their way for us arranging transport and EVEN DIGGING OUR FRIEND'S CAR OUT OF A SNOW BANK, that they deserve every bit of praise we can give them.

This hotel was perfect for us. Nice sized kitchen with everything we needed. Two TVs and two queen sized beds. The bathroom was very clean and everything was in good working order. I stayed two nights and was thrilled with the service, the restaurant was very good and the wifi was easy to connect to. I truly enjoyed my stay.

This is a very welcoming location. Friendly staff.

When we reached the B&B it was pretty late. But the hostess made sure we were comfortable. We followed the instructions and had a good night in a cozy place. The walls of the room are pretty thin and voice can be heard but then at night it was pin drop silence and honestly we were so tired that my husband and I slept like a baby. The breakfast was good and we had good conversation with the hostess. Over all I liked the place and would visit the place again. Its perfect experience of a small town. Away from a city's hustle bustle.

This hotel is a little older but one of the highest quality we have stayed in for the price,and the staff were wonderful. You can't go by the desk without a friendly hello. We felt welcome and loved it here. The rooms are so clean and the supplies are really great
