Pike's Waterfront Lodge
Breakfast had a huge variety of options and they were all good!!! I loved all the little activities we could do on the property even in the off season. My husband enjoyed the games in the lobby and the pool table. Would definitely stay again.

Westmark Fairbanks Hotel & Conference Center
I just needed a place to crash and get a few hours of sleep before making the drive home after a flight, given that my flight arrived at 2am, and the Westmark was the least expensive hotel that I was willing to stay at on the Hotels.com site when I went to reserve a room.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fairbanks Airport
Kitchen staff worked hard and was friendly to all who dined. The facility was needing a weekend cleaning staff. Downstairs bathroom was dirty and out of paper towels. My room was under attended. No facial tissues, or kitchen items, but the room was clean.

Upon arrival, there was a fairly intoxicated man dancing and smoking cigarettes directly in front of the door. He was very jovial and, whatever, all good. I only mention this because he was still outside ...
