Let's cherish nature.
Pros:

I booked this hotel after seeing positive reviews about the food, but the dinner was disappointing, and the grab-and-go breakfast was so terrible that I threw it away after one bite.

I had a large box full of recyclables and asked where the recycling bins were, but I was told there weren't any. They only recycle newspapers. I paid $20 and asked an employee to recycle everything for me. I stayed at a Hampton Inn before this hotel, and they had recycling bins for paper, plastic, and cans, which I thought was standard. I was shocked that your hotel didn't have them. You operate in Fairbanks, a place that prides itself on its natural beauty; you should be more mindful of the environment.

Will stay again
Pros:

I liked the separate living room from the bedroom. Super comfortable just like having your own apartment.

Cons:

The rooms didn’t have any kind of locks other than the key card. No deadbolt or additional lock that can only be locked from the inside. One of the beds seemed to be broken and was very lopsided. The bedroom was cramped and the bathroom sink area is open to the bedroom so it was impossible for one person to be up getting ready without waking everyone else up. Kind of expensive for how outdated it was.

Comfortable room. Enjoyed our stay.
Pros:

The hotel is very comfortable. The suite-type rooms are very nice for longer stays. The fully stocked kitchen was wonderful. The attached restaurant was relaxing and served good food.

Cons:

Can't think of a thing.

Great place to stay in a pinch!
Pros:

The boiler in our apartment building went out. Got a room at Sophie's quite easily. The staff at check-in was really great! There were a couple of minor things about the room we were in that detracted from our overnight stay but nothing really major, just minor inconveniences. I'd like to be able to say that the "Grab and Go" breakfast was good but it's hours are so limited that I never had the chance to get one! Overall, I'd say that my experience at Sophie's was overall, a fairly good one!

Thank you very much..
Pros:

Sophie Station gave us a room for me and my family after coming in from the village and could not get a hold of family, the price was reasonable and lots of room for us, and comfortable settings as well. Thank you to the staff that helped us out when we needed help.

Cozy winter home for a few days
Pros:

This was my first time here. I had heard from friends that it was a great place to stay.

I love it! It's super homey without being weird. The room has a kitchenette, and the whole thing feels like a small apartment… Plenty of space and comfort.

While hanging out in the lobby, the front desk was nice enough to pop my microwave popcorn for me.

The fitness center is not great. The machines are old, and the elliptical was out of service.

You can't beat the location if you want to be close to a grocery store.

I love the view out the balcony window, looking out onto huge spruce trees with snow-covered boughs.
