Top University of Alaska-Fairbanks Hotel Reviews

Pike's Waterfront Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay. Every morning the complimentary breakfast was delicious. Pike’s restaurant also has tasty meals. They called us the last day of our stay to see the Northern Lights. Which was spectacular. Very conveniently located making getting around Fairbanks very easy. Highly recommend this lodge."

Luxury Riverside Chena River House River Suite

10/10 Excellent

"The Chena River suite is a perfect place for a stay in Fairbanks. The property has a garage which is quite honestly one of the first times I have stayed in a place that was connected by a dedicated and warm parking space as I have mostly stayed at hotels during my travels. The kitchen was well stocked with snacks, oatmeal, cup noodles, coffee and kitchen staples as well as anything you need to cook such as spices, oil, etc. The place also had a clean washer and dryer, clean full bathroom with some storage and beautifully lit shower, clean towels, fresh bedding. The living room portion and the bedroom had awesome views of the Chena river and was very peaceful. Tera, the host was also awesome and she had a guide she had sent before our stay along with many informative items such as rules of the river suite, places to eat, sights, etc. She was also very responsive and a very nice host! I know where I'll look to stay the next time I visit Fairbanks!"

10/10 Excellent

"Property is not a 5 star hotel if that is what you are looking for but it is a typical Alaska style log home located in a beautiful neighborhood on the Chena River, they provide fishing gear that you can use. Inside is a comfortable home clean and well kept cabon windows over look the river and is relaxing to watch the river run by. This a couple of stairs but only one entrance step into the home so easy taking your bags inside. This home is an outstanding value for its beauty, convenient and easy parking. Love it."

10/10 Excellent
