Old but amazing!
The staff was very friendly and the hotel was immensely clean. However, it's very old a dated. Nonetheless, I would stay again and the food and drinks were stellar!!

A Really Good Experience
The suite was a joy. First of all, it was very quiet; we heard almost no noise at all. It was very clean, and the kitchen was set up with flatware and dishes. It doesn't come with pots or pans, but there was a card on the sink stating that those were available by calling the front desk. The full-size fridge and oven were great. The bedroom and on-suite bathroom were very enjoyable. The water pressure (always an unknown) was good. The closets are large. The only only negative thing we could mention is that the couch, while looking reasonably new, lacked some support. The arm chair in the living room was very comfortable. Lighting was sufficient, as well. All in all, a really good experience, and we plan to stay there again.

The property was well kept. Staff were super helpful but the rooms could use some sprucing up like carpet. While there we used the restaurant which was closed Sunday but open Monday and the food was excellent

Nice, but service was lacking
It was a nice place to spend 3 nights in Fairbanks. The staff were nice. We were surprised that the entry doors did not have ADA pushbuttons to open the very heavy doors. We ordered food at the bar, but it took almost an hour to get the food and I had to take it to eat later. The first night I realized that the thermostat was broken. The room temperature was probably higher than 75 degrees. I asked for it to be fixed and the 2nd night I saw a note from maintenance saying they looked at the unit and fixed it. The thermostat was still broken and we had to spend another hot night there.

Our room was not ready at the check in time and we were told twice to come back. Upon entering our room on the bottom floor, it immediately smelled as though it had been smoked in at some point. The room was extremely outdated and the beds, couch and chair were all extremely hard- even my children noticed it right away. The hard beds led to terrible sleep for my family. Dark decor. No allowance for late check-out and there was construction on the road leading into the hotel which led to many detours. No breakfast included. The one redeeming quality was the kitchen in the room. I would choose another property next time, with breakfast included and updated decor - and hopefully newer beds.

I'd rather stay at a place with an apartment-style layout than just a regular hotel room. You have a kitchen, living room and bedroom so you can really spread out and don't have to feel cramped.

Hotel was wonderful....some areas are being remodeled but no construction noise.....staff was friendly and most of them were helpful......Suggest that younger or new staff employees learn about the area so guest will not have to go to the hotel computer to find where churches are, or other areas of sightseeing........or maybe a visitor info or direction sheet could be available for the guests

The staff at the front desk somehow made me recall the strict teachers in my high school. We stayed in 10 hotels on our Alaska trip. This one is the worst of my hotel list The service in this hotel is just as cold as Alaska's temporture.
