2 Mi to Dtwn: Cozy Getaway in Fairbanks!

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my time here. It was very cozy and quiet definitely with having being under a family upstairs. I hardly knew they were there. It was very close to all the places I needed to while I was in FBKs and it was a perfect spot if you ask me. The place was very beautifully done and I felt like home away from home. Had some difficulty conversing with Guest Contact but we were able to figure it out in the end. Would definitely recommend to incoming travelers."
