7/10 Good! (491 reviews)
Worst hotel I’ve ever been in. I walked right out again without even checking in. Dirty, falling to pieces, sketchy, inadequate parking, zero security, I actually felt unsafe. 10 minute walk to a different location to check in (and for breakfast, if you stay) is a bonus. I booked for three nights at 6pm, arrived at 7pm, canceled and left again five minutes later. Expedia contacted the property who refused a refund, even partially for unused nights. They would not respond to me directly, just ignored me. This place is creepy and disgusting. It is also not the “Extended Stay America” hotel chain you thought it might be. I did. But it’s not just me , read the reviews here - even the highly rated ones are pretty bad. I filed a chargeback with American Express.

This b&b is just so wonderful for those who appreciate a house full of period pieces, charm and a great breakfast! The house has so much history. It is beautifully furnished. Loved the old photos! Loved wandering into all the rooms exploring! Snacks and coffee/tea/drinks always available for guests. Convenient to all things Fairbanks. So happy to have stayed at such a special place. Thank you Margo for the wonderful breakfast and filling us in on the history of the house and it’s owners.

"I thought I had secured a pet friendly room through Expedia, but apparently that was not the case. The front desk clerk gave me the option of keeping the room and letting my friend Jack sleep in my car, or take a cabin. I opted for the cabin because I know how to use an outhouse. However, there was ..."
