I booked the Inn as it was near the airport for ease though it is in the flight path of Fairbanks airport. Although named an Inn, it is akin to a regular motel. My room was basic but clean, however you could hear neighbours walking around and even when getting out of bed, my floorboards creaked. The breakfast and staff were the highlights for me: there was a good choice of cold items for breakfast plus hot drinks were in reception in office hours. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful.

I enjoyed my stay and was a lone traveller so the facilities reminded of an 80’s motel and although a little outdated it was more than fine for me although some would prefer a more modern/fresh look. My partner would not have approved! Some furnishings were past their best. The staff were great, friendly and helpful and would do anything reasonable to accommodate your requirements. After all it is just somewhere to stay and like most of the US now the value has gone. If you need coffee machines and biscuits and jacuzzi baths then you shouldn’t book a room here! I personally would stay again but it’s not everyone’s taste.
