Great place overall

We loved our stay in one of their cabins. The complimentary shuttle was convenient. The breakfast was great. We rented from Alaska auto rental and they have a desk on site so getting our rental car was a breeze. They have a ton of amenities revolving the northern lights. We were super happy they offer wake up calls if the northern lights are visible. We had two nights in a row where we were already in bed and the front desk gave us a wake up call to see the lights. The cabin provided a great view so we were dry and warm the entire time. I highly recommend staying here.

Iconic Alaska Experience

Iconic Alaska experience in Fairbanks. Cozy and comfortable with a homey feel. Not slick and polished, which is a good thing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

It was conveniently located by the fairbanks airport and a free hotel shuttle was available. There was plentifuly parking out front as well. The decor is warm & rustic. The rooms spacious and clean. The staff was incredibly friendly. The included breakfast every morning was a wonderful way to get the day started of correctly. The first night we were there, aurora activity was forecasted and the front desk was kind enough to give us a wake up call and we were able to see the aurora just outside the hotel. Given that fairbanks is not that sprawling, driving to the various sightseeing locations from this hotel was easy as well.

We contacted the lodge for airport shuttle service after claiming our baggage and the shuttle arrived quickly. The staff are courteous and professional. The lodge is well maintained but clearly a bit dated.

Staff is not friendly like they claim. Was disrespected by staff. The person behind counter unplugged the toaster while muffin mid cooking and said it wasn’t time yet. We were leaving for airport. She walked away without explanation. It was rude and cruel.
