Pike's Waterfront Lodge
really enjoyed this hotel. this is not for those who enjoy the sparkling amenities of big name hotels. The room is old and you can tell but it is cozy and charming. recommend bringing some air freshener for the space to sit somewhere in room as the smell is not bad but it smells older and has that ...

Westmark Fairbanks Hotel & Conference Center
The main room was clean, the bathroom has lots of hair behind the door next to tub when I shut the door. I didn't have breakfast. The staff I interacted with was very friendly.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fairbanks Airport
The room was good, the reception lady gave us a fright when she mentioned our room was booked for next day as we were checking in at 2am. But then we had to explain her and hen she realized that we had booked for 2 nights 😅.
