College Hotels, Fairbanks

"Room was clean, but little too hot, had to open window to cool the room. Bed was also little too hard for me, but was great for my husband. Breakfast was good, it had eggs, meat, potatoes, and also waffle maker for fresh waffles. It would have been great if they had decaf coffe, as only regular coffee was brewed for breakfast."

"This hotel has the nicest people and specially the owner Jim also they have very reasonable prices and good value and a great location "

"Great vintage Alaska Lodge vibe with knotty pine walls and shag carpeting, right on the river. Good sized bedrooms, common areas are a little cozy. Saw the Aurora from the yard in every direction. If you're sensitive to cigarette smoke, hunting trophies, or stairs, this may not be the best for for you "

"Quiet area, staff was very friendly and helpful, lots of options on what to watch on the TV, and breakfast every morning. Second time staying here, and it is still the best option in my opinion."

"Stayed in a large multi-bed room, as it is a hostel. The bunk beds were very creaky. Bathroom upstairs was pretty cramped and didn't seem to get cleaned the multiple days I was there. Pillows are flat, sheets and quilt were clean and comfy. Entry room has zero heating and door handle/lock was frozen, which is rough since you are asked to remove your shoes before entering. Great coffee shop walking distance, but not much else. Coffee is in the frozen room, consistently smelled burnt so I did not partake. When staff did come to "clean", she did it in her pajamas and just changed out trash, nothing else. She also did it early in the morning when everyone in the room was trying to sleep. Downstairs has a much larger bathroom. Kitchen and dining area are sufficient. Chairs in "living room" were very sunken in and uncomfortable. There is a tv, but one guest kept it on conservative news shows me entire stay and hid and slept with the remote. Lastly, I had some canned drinks by my bed and one or two of them were stolen. Another guest had some of her food stolen out of the shared fridge. Not sure if all this is par for the course for American hostels, but I was not impressed. Would definitely not stay here again."

"Room was nice and clean. Staff was friendly when I checked in. The property looked pretty shabby, and honestly there was dog poop everywhere. I get it, its frozen, but still. Also, I thought there was free breakfast, according to when I booked it, and I never heard about it, smelled it and could find it. Overall, location was convenient, room was nice enough, but I would go somewhere else."

"This was a lovely booking and exactly what we were looking for. Warm, clean, and comfortable, and a lovely view of the river. Mardee was responsive, prompt, and pleasant. We hope to return!!!"

"Nice to have a shuttle from both the train station and/or the airport. Good breakfast, average gym."

"Great location, spacious home and responsive host. All amenities listed were accurate and in great shape. We did not use the fireplace but made use of the sauna and hot tub in the -30F temps after hockey games for the state tournament. Close to amenities and lots of space, beautiful property."
