Top University of Alaska-Fairbanks Hotel Reviews

Golden North Inn

8/10 Good

"The service and staff were great rooms clean, but old and tired facility and there is the issue of airport noise adequate but not great stay"

Pike's Waterfront Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Room was nice. Shuttle was free. Breakfast was excellent."

Rivers Edge Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The cabins were very nice, staff was good, van drivers very good and helpful."

7 Gables Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our time. Staff was wonderful breakfast was amazing. We will be booking with them again."

Fairbanks Extended Stay

8/10 Good

"😁"

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

10/10 Excellent

"Location, location, location. This charming rustic cabin on the river was awesome for the views and atmosphere. It is centrally located, and the owner was good with communication and the price cannot be beat."

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

8/10 Good

"Overall, this property had several great qualities and offered a unique Alaska experience. The hostess was very helpful, and the outside property was beautiful. The home included a lot of interesting reading materials and provided great insight into Alaska history and wildlife, which added a special touch to the stay. There was also ample room for sleeping, and the property was centrally located, making it convenient for getting around. We also appreciated the nice fire ring, the included firewood, and the benches that were supplied for outdoor seating.That said, there were some areas that could use improvement. The space smelled very strongly of cigarette smoke and seemed to be in need of a deep clean. Some of the furniture and carpeting were noticeably stained, and the pillows were very flat. Also, the door accessing the apartment space did not have a lock, and there did not appear to be many smoke detectors, which may be a concern for some guests.With some thorough cleaning, updated furnishings, and a few safety improvements, this could be an even better place to stay. The location, outdoor space, and helpful host were definite positives."

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."

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

8/10 Good

"Nice stay, highly recommend. Quiet, large spaces. Limited tv. I had an issue with the lock (finally adjusted to the workings). Loved having a kitchen, washer and dryer. Would readily stay again."
