“BEST VALUE AND SERVICE in Fairbanks”
Convenient to local bus (Blue Line and Red Line) stops in front of Super 8 with short rides to University of Alaska, Pioneer Village, and "downtown" Fairbanks for connection with other bus lines at the Transit Terminal. Free breakfast 6am to 9am, all you can eat FRESH white and wheat bread, toasters, cereal, yogurt, coffee, tea, cocoa and orange juice, and milk, and free coffee in lobby all day long. ALL STAFF was very friendly and helpful. Room and bath were IMMACULATE: squeaky clean. Easy to operate modern ELECTRONIC SAFE. Only difference between this Super 8 and the "so called luxury hotels" was no swimming pool or gym room (and I did not go to Alaska to swim or work out on my vacation). Super 8 is a franchise, so all of them are individually owned and managed I believe, just would be mopre appearing if the name was changed to FAMILY INN or HOTEL FAIRBANKS ... the name Super 8 implies shoddiness somehow, and I chose this hotel for budget reasons. SUPRISE SURPRISE .. this is certainly a 4-star quality hotel. Plus the Denny's restaurant next door serves generous heaping platters of excellent food, better value than the numerous fast food joints (all of them) near by on Airport Road. Also a "medical emergency center" is next door. The restaurants in downtown Fairbanks are over priced with low quality food. I was actually charged $4 for a glass of orange juice which was actually TANG mix powder orange flavored drink.
