Fairbanks Extended Stay

Fairbanks Extended Stay

8/10 Good
"The outside of the building is cute, though some might consider outdated. It resembled a Bavarian structure. The hallway and outside entrance are aged and outdated, but the insides of the rooms have been remodeled and were fine. The bathroom and kitchen were updated and modern. There is a full-sized refridgerator, mounted smart t.v., recliner chair and comfortable chair. I think was a great value for the price and I would stay there again."

"Room was comfortable and on par with other chain hotels. I selected this hotel over others in the area specifically because it had a restaurant for dinner but learned when I arrived that the restaurant was temporarily closed--that despite the fact that I received multiple messages from the hotel up to my arrival date informing me of the restaurant hours. That misleading information was not appreciated."
