We came in October in hopes to see the Northern lights. Unfortunately it was too cloudy so that didn't happen. We drove around a lot to find things to do to but many things are seasonal and closed already. I'd like to come back and try again.

Nice city. Recommend the Golden Heart Plaza, Ice Museum, Morris Thompson Visitor Center, Beads and Things, Arctic Traveler Gift Shop, and highly recommend Arctic Night Tours for an even closer and amazing view of the Aurora Borealis.

Spend some time wandering, Fairbanks has so many hidden gems that you won't find with a guidebook. And try East Ramp Pizza, it looks dubious from the outside, but it's great!

Visitors must go to the Museum of the North at the University of Alaska. It was amazing and varied. Also go to the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum. The fashions current at the time the automobiles were made, were displayed by the cars. Really fun an

We love the fact everything is covered by snow. We loved our dog sledding tour and Aurora light viewing too! A great place for vacation! Will come back in a different season just for the beautiful nature.

We wished we'd spent more time in Fairbanks and less in Anchorage which felt less welcoming. We took the train back to Anchorage rather than fly: 100% recommended. Chena was a good day visit but not huge and a bit tired due to visitor numbers.
"The positive for us were the following: We really enjoyed our time in the hot springs, we soaked in its waters every afternoon. Liked the fact that only adults (18+) could use it. We liked the quietness of the area and its trails. We liked that we could fill our hydroflask with water at the lobby-check in area to the springs and the water tasted great.We would stay here again 2 days max, not a whole week like we did.
For us the negatives are the following:
We have never stayed at a resort that did not have a mini fridge in the room. A mini fridge is important especially if there aren't any markets around. Eating at the ONE and ONLY restaurant in the property can be expensive. Also the restaurant did not have a lot waiters/waitresses, so being seated and served could be a while depending on the time. Juan, one of the servers, was super helpful, attentive, and shared pointers on some of the nearby trails. If you want the room to be serviced, you have to let the front desk know otherwise it will not be serviced even if you put the rag on the door.
The pool we only used it once. I didn't like that the sides of the pool looked (were) dirty.

"This isn’t a cookie cutter hotel. It has character. First impression going to office was a little concerning, but once me got to room we were happy. Decor was dated, but clean and very comfortable. The breakfast was very tasty."
