Excellent location, restaurant was out of commission due to a fire, but did have a breakfast buffet, and limited menu from the kitchen in the hotel.

The staff is amazingly friendly and the atmosphere will take your breath away. Excellent location and just a stone throw away from the airport. You can’t go wrong with booking a stay here

Diappointed in Fairbanks
Staff is very friendly. However, the hotel is very dated. The bathroom is very small and difficult to get out of the shower. There is no continental breakfast and the buffet is $18.95. I asked if there was a restaurant nearby because I hated paying so much for a meal that I didn’t want much. No other options! Clearly this place needs a makeover
