Top University of Alaska-Fairbanks Hotel Reviews

Pike's Waterfront Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great rooms. Love the decor. Located on the Chena River so beautiful location. Close to the airport. Staff are very friendly. We've stayed there before and will always come back."

Comfort Inn Fairbanks

8/10 Good

"Our room was clean when we arrived. We stayed for 3 nights. Our bed was never made, we were never given clean towels, we never got more coffee for the keurig-like coffee maker. We were given towels and coffee when we asked for them. The Orbitz description of the property said it was in downtown Fairbanks, but there was nothing walkable from the hotel. We made good use of Uber."

7 Gables Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Nice quiet atmosphere. Kitchen available at night to eat left overs. Nice breakfast"

Aspen Suites Hotel Fairbanks

8/10 Good

"The room was very clean and comfortable; I also liked that they had a nice area for pets and barbequing if that's what you prefer. However, customer service is a huge plus for me and upon checking in, the front desk clerk appeared annoyed that I had a dog - again, Expedia did not offer this when I registered. I felt like I was an inconvenience, but in the end, I enjoyed my stay and I loved that I was close to Fred Meyers. After my long drive from Anchorage, the bed and pillows were very comfortable."

Fairbanks Extended Stay

10/10 Excellent

"Cuarto super cómodo y limpio,área del hotel cerca a tiendas y gasolineras,agradable para caminar ò correr,el personal que vimos los 2 días solo era de limpieza,administrativo solo la duen̈a y el trato fue rapido,bastante estacionamiento disponible."

10/10 Excellent

"Great beds great area of town"

Best Western Plus Chena River Lodge

8/10 Good

"Staff was good. Breakfast was as expected some warm food, cold food and a grind and brew coffee machine."

Fairbanks Princess Riverside Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice lodge! Water pressure and hot water not very good. Breakfast buffet very good, but $26 per person. Suggest eating light in the coffee shop inside the gift shop. Terrific coffees and breakfast sandwiches and pastries will save some money. Good shuttle to downtown, $10 per person day pass. Staff was very nice. Take a walk in the gardens along the river...beautiful."

Billie's Backpackers Hostel

8/10 Good

"Had the Tom room with 2 twin beds, small but comfy."
