The rooms are huge; we had to go to the airport the next day, so we chose this hotel with an airport shuttle. Everything went smoothly. The in-house restaurant is also delicious.

We stayed here previously and staff was amazing, this time not at all. The stays were literally just 5 days apart and this staff was downright rude at best. We had to check in late (around 930pm) because we had been on a tour through the artic circle that lasted all day Whomever checked us in was irritated that she had to help us because the other girl (who had helped us in the previous stay) was busy with another guest. We had told her that when we left previously that we would need a later check out, (as told to us by the other clerk just a few days prior that it wouldn't be any problem because they had very few rooms booked this time of year)

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This hotel was close and walking distance to the grocery store and coffee shops. The rooms were dated, adequate, spacious but dirty. At least 2 inches of dust around all the baseboards- seemingly only cleaned where a vacuum could reach. Full kitchen was a plus but when we went to take a shower the drains were clogged. On our first night of three at Sophie Station the front desk staff (I don’t remember the ladies name) acted like she was annoyed when we checked in. She gave us the complete feeling we were interrupting her “cell phone” time. She didn’t greet us when we got to the front desk and never did smile once. Disappointing .

Hotel was wonderful....some areas are being remodeled but no construction noise.....staff was friendly and most of them were helpful......Suggest that younger or new staff employees learn about the area so guest will not have to go to the hotel computer to find where churches are, or other areas of sightseeing........or maybe a visitor info or direction sheet could be available for the guests

If you are just wanting to stay close to the airport with free shuttle and free shuttle to the train station, this is a great place. No complimentary breakfast and breakfast didn't open until 9:00 a.m. . Room needs a ceiling fan. Very stale air. They did have a square floor fan electric but it made noise. Front desk clerk very polite and patient

Sophie's Station in Fairbanks, AK is a wonderful place to stay with all the major features we require, for example it is a very safe, quiet, and clean hotel with Zach's restaurant serving delicious meals both at brunch and dinner hours. We saw locals coming in for both meals. The transportation both pickup at the Airport and when we left was on time and very friendly. Sophies Staff at the check in had our room available even when we checked in earlier than the usual 4:00 PM hour. Many thanks and kudos for Sophies Station! Sincerely, Evy and Richard Feb 2024

I’m so torn on this review. I called the hotel for their free shuttle service and asked if we could be picked up at the airport and was met with a heavy sigh and “uhhh, maybe. Hold on.” I was nervous that they wouldn’t get us based on the annoyed tone. They did send the shuttle and the driver was great. When we got there I asked if early check-in was possible and the same girl from the phone smirked and said “probably not.” She then said it would be $54 to check in early. This policy is not her fault, but she wasn’t friendly either. I realize nobody is guaranteed free or early check-in, but I have never come across a hotel that wouldn’t just let you check in before 4pm when the room was ready. Which it was. But only for a cost? The room itself was $386/night, which I think is on the high end and not amazing considering the dated nature. One bed was comfortable and one bed felt like a 900lb man was jumping on it for a year (room 147 bed by the bathroom - try it you’ll see). Pillows were great. It was truly super clean. All of the other staff during our stay were lovely. The lounge was tasty, but only had one server for the whole place, so it took us 1.5 hours to get drinks and a few appetizers, but that wasn’t her fault. So I’m torn. 95 % great humans and really great things about the hotel, but also way too overpriced for the brown decor of the 80’s, an unfriendly start, and that bed! It’s also in a not charming area between grocery stores. Convenient yet unappealing.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Our room was not ready at the check in time and we were told twice to come back. Upon entering our room on the bottom floor, it immediately smelled as though it had been smoked in at some point. The room was extremely outdated and the beds, couch and chair were all extremely hard- even my children noticed it right away. The hard beds led to terrible sleep for my family. Dark decor. No allowance for late check-out and there was construction on the road leading into the hotel which led to many detours. No breakfast included. The one redeeming quality was the kitchen in the room. I would choose another property next time, with breakfast included and updated decor - and hopefully newer beds.

Everything about our stay was amazing, from the staff, room, amenities. The only one thing I had a problem with is we ate at the restaurant every day and continuously ordered the same menu items but the quantity wasn’t consistent. On one particular dinner experience my son literally only had 2 broccoli crowns and 3 carrot slices for his mixed vegetables with his salmon but the other two nights the same meal came with 5 broccoli crowns, tons of carrots and sliced onions. But I didn’t complain at the time because the flavor was very delicious and staff was amazing. Also I know they’re thinking about doing away with sofa beds but I really wish they would reconsider because that was truly the deciding factor in my decision to stay there. Thanks

The room was clean but no maid service for at least a four day stay. The temperature in the room was extremely difficult to control—- very, very warm and only one a/c in the bedroom. Sitting room was uncomfortably warm. Granted the weather was warm outside, but there was little ventilation possibilities.
