Top Downtown Fairbanks Hotel Reviews

Pike's Waterfront Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fairbanks Airport

8/10 Good

"Close to airport, awesome shuttle service. Friendly and very helpful staff. Breakfast was okay; weekday was better. Much of the food was not stocked and breakfast area could have been better maintained. Property is needing some refreshing. But rooms were clean and beds were comfortable."

Aurora Villa

8/10 Good

"This stay was a surprise. It is off the beaten path nestled in the woods with neighboring homes with spacious lots. It is a modern building that looks like a modern home. It has gravel driveway. It has a self check in with a text to office/ staff for help if needed. They are responsive. Building is clean and provides slippers for the use inside. The room is clean, has desk, reading chair and a spectacular viewing window that proved to be very useful for catching the northern loghts. The kitchen downstairs was packed with goodies and frig was packed with various options and frozen food and treats. Kitchen area has a large sitting table. All and all it was one of the memorable places we have stayed. I am glad we went and did see the northern lights. But the northern lights due to weather and nature are not always visable."

North Star Place

10/10 Excellent

"The property is very clean and updated. It is located near everything and in a safe area. The owners checked on us to make sure we didn’t have any problems. Love the keyless entry also. We would definitely stay there again. The only partial downfall was staying on the 3rd floor and having to carry our Heavy suitcase up 3 flights. But not a big deal and worth it to have a nice place to stay."

Borealis Basecamp

10/10 Excellent

"Setting aside the fact that we were thrilled and lucky to enjoy a spectacular northern lights show during our stay, Borealis Basecamp was a wonderful brief getaway experience. The facility has provided just enough extra activities (not a price bargain by any means, but probably comparable to similar venues) to keep you physically engaged during daylight hours. However, for those who have mobility issues, particularly back injuries, you'll need to make yourself cozy in the reception or adventure/cafe yerts and keep yourself occupied with a book or conversation with other guests, which is what my husband did. The food at the Pub and Latitude 65 restaurant was wonderful. Terrific coctails. Pay attention to the description of amenities provided in the igloos, which is what we opted for. Super comfortable bed offering a terrific view of the night sky. And finally, they make good on their promise to call your room at any hour when the aurora appears. One night between 9pm and 6am (roughly), we received 6 calls! But that's what you are paying for, and we were happy to have our sleep disturbed!"

Alaska Heritage House Bed and Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"This b&b is just so wonderful for those who appreciate a house full of period pieces, charm and a great breakfast! The house has so much history. It is beautifully furnished. Loved the old photos! Loved wandering into all the rooms exploring! Snacks and coffee/tea/drinks always available for guests. Convenient to all things Fairbanks. So happy to have stayed at such a special place. Thank you Margo for the wonderful breakfast and filling us in on the history of the house and it’s owners."
