Mary’s house
I enjoyed the modern construct of the home, and it was comfortable. The hot tub was an added bonus to the place! If i needed anything, the hosts were on it. I would have liked to have more options with cooking pots or pans/seasonings other than salt and pepper. But overall this is a great stay!

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.
