The room was old but very well kept, cozy, warm, and extremely clean. No bad smells and not musty at all. the customer service was wonderful, and when our tire went flat and we had to stay longer than expected, they responded with kindness. For being an inn, it met and surpassed our expectations.

The hotel is kind of old but totally functional. I like the fact that it has a separate living area. Staff were very good. They delivered us to the airport and picked us up from the airport. Breakfast was also good.

We needed to make a last minute booking due to cancelled flight in the middle of the night; Carlos was at the airport to pick us up within 15 minutes of our booking, and we got upgraded room as well. For a "breakfast in the lobby" the abundance, variety, and healthy options was incredible. Although the Inn is older, would recommend due to cleanliness, and service.

I appreciated my short stay because all of the staff was very professional, and it was very convenient from the airport. I chose this place because there was an airport shuttle. However, I was not impressed by the lack of toiletries that are usually expected from inns or hotels. The makeup remover in the sachet was dry (letting me know that it's old and probably should have been thrown away). The room was very basic too, but it was clean. I did not have access to the thermostat so I felt that the room was still very cold. There was also no hair blower/dryer so I could feel my hair freezing when I stepped out at -35F weather. I did appreciate the breakfast bar and the wifi. There was a fridge and microwave oven in the room (which I did not use). Overall, everything was reasonably priced. I would still recommend this place for those who just needed a short stay. But, if you are planning a 2-week visit to Fairbanks, this might not be the best option for you.
