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"

Comfort Inn Fairbanks

10/10 Excellent

"I’m"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fairbanks Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient airport shuttle. The staff was friendly and kind. The room was not very clean. The bathroom was dirty."

Golden North Inn

10/10 Excellent

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

Billie's Backpackers Hostel

8/10 Good

"Overall, it was a positive experience staying here. I stayed in one of the private rooms and had a good time, but a few things stopped me from giving it 5 stars. The owner had a small dog staying there that was not a fan of strangers, so getting to my room involved being barked at, as well as being occasionally woken up by the barking. The owner also didn’t provide the right access code in the email, so if I wanted to get in late in the evening, I had to wake them up which wasn’t pleasant for anyone involved. That being said, I paid for a hostel and not for a luxury resort, and I’d still recommend others come stay here!"

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"The outside of the building is cute, though some might consider outdated.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 The hallway and outside entrance are aged and outdated, but the insides of the rooms have been remodeled and were fine.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

Fairbanks Princess Riverside Lodge

8/10 Good

"Comfy room helpful stay good location 👌"

Best Western Plus Pioneer Park Inn

Best Western Plus Chena River Lodge

8/10 Good

"Staff was very responsive. Breakfast was really good for this type of property."
