The staff for the most part were very friendly and accommodating. The daily breakfast was very welcome, considering the generally high price of restaurant food in Fairbanks as elsewhere. The location of the facility, in the old downtown area, is convenient to some of the local restaurants, which is a plus. They also provide a free hourly shuttle service to a number of places in town. Another plus is the photo souvenir shop in the lobby, which is operated by a local photographer who has a multitude of prints of wildlife and scenes in a variety of forms from refrigerator magnets to metal 8x10 wall prints. We used the Springhill as a base for a week long trip that focused on seeing the aurora borealis and got more than we bargained for."
