Ideal location in Fairbanks.
The property is ideally located in Fairbanks to provide easy access to all local attractions and points of interest, a great benefit for families on holiday in the area.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Breakfast is not included in the rate.
The hotel serves a number of breakfast choices including cooked breakfast options. However, none of the breakfast options are included in the room rates so guests must be sure of the extra charges before ordering.
negative:
Unreliable Wi-Fi connectivity.
Perhaps surprisingly, the hotel provided free Wi-Fi tends to be quite glitch prone and slow and often drops the signal completely, making it quite frustrating for business purposes.
negative:
Lack of room wall insulation.
The hotel walls are quite thin and lack any kind of significant insulation against noises from adjoining rooms. This can be quite disruptive, particularly for business guest who need quiet to work or uninterrupted sleep. Try to book away from other guests if silence is a necessity.
