Top University of Alaska-Fairbanks Hotel Reviews

Pike's Waterfront Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I really loved this hotel and especially its proximity to the airport. The staff were all friendly, property was clean and the amenities were amazing"

Golden North Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I love the staff at golden north ! Home away from home! Great coffee, tea, water, snacks , breakfast etc"

Luxury Riverside Chena River House River Suite

10/10 Excellent

"Very well equipped and comfortable place. Great to have a garage and with a week or so on the road, nice to have a washer and dryer available! Highly recommend!"

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"The outside of the building is cute, though some might consider outdated.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 The hallway and outside entrance are aged and outdated, but the insides of the rooms have been remodeled and were fine.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."

Comfortable House With Kitchen On The Chena River. Family Friendly.

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the charm of staying in a real Alaska home that wasn’t all white washed and cold"

Perfect 3-bedroom house with AC in charming Fairbanks on quiet dead end road.

10/10 Excellent

"Great house layout. Decent parking for a couple of vehicles but difficult to turn around if you’re pulling a trailer. Not impossible just a little harder than expected."

Cozy two bedroom log cabin on the Chena River near town.

10/10 Excellent

"Rustic wood cabin. Hostess was very pleasant. Even left a pot of the most delish stew for us to eat after our long travels."

Luxury Riverside Chena River House North Suite with Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"Tera was wonderful and her home was a gem! She was responsive and helpful. Her welcome information was great with very good local suggestions. If we find ourselves in Fairbanks again my husband and I would love to stay here again. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Thanks Tera and family for sharing your wonderful home and joyful hospitality. I only hope we were as good of a guest as you were a host! Thanks so much again!"

Large Penthouse With King Canopy Bed

8/10 Good

"If interior space had a rating, it would be a 10! It seemed like we were staying in a furnished apartment. The hostess is super nice! The checkin process was somewhat of a puzzle. And the permanent male tennants sometimes hung around outside. The dirt parking lot and scattered buildings with different hotel names seemed a little weird."
