Top University of Alaska-Fairbanks Hotel Reviews

Golden North Inn

10/10 Excellent

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

Pike's Waterfront Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"My stay was pleasant. The hotel has a lot to offer. The restaurant is very good"

Aspen Suites Hotel Fairbanks

10/10 Excellent

"The room and facility was very clean, professional and quiet. The staff was courteous, informative and friendly. Glad you had a shuttle to the airport. Only item if at all to improve/change would be to have the continental breakfast or a warm breakfast included in the price."

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"The outside of the building is cute, though some might consider outdated.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 The hallway and outside entrance are aged and outdated, but the insides of the rooms have been remodeled and were fine.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

Comfort Inn Fairbanks

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was extremely helpful and kind. The lobby and my room were clean. The breakfast was fantastic. Great selection along with gluten free and dairy free options."

7 Gables Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Very nice staff and cozy property"

Fairbanks Princess Riverside Lodge

8/10 Good

"Comfy room helpful stay good location 👌"

Best Western Plus Pioneer Park Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great. The only thing I would ask to add would be a shuttle to the train depot."
