Wedgewood Resort

Always like to stay here, the quietness…

Thanks

They helped me when i need it. And I enjoyed my stay. For my business trip. Definitely would recommend it to anyone who needs a place to stay in Fairbanks.

Wedgewood Resort had friendly, knowledgeable staff. The room and facility was clean. The location, at least on premises, felt safe.

The grounds were exceptional

Everything was fine. Rooms are dated but it’s hard to complain when you get a whole apartment for room price. Everything is clean. The room tv doesn’t work well but I’m sure they would happily fix if I asked.
Service is excellent.

Good location, friendly staff, and clean room with nice kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay there.

Room is incredibly stale and 20+ years outdated. Beds were basically display beds from a store, bedding was crazy old and smelled funky, entire room was had a bad smell almost stale like an old smoking room. The redeeming qualities were the trails, the museum, and the shuttle.

I visit Fairbanks three to four times a year for business, usually with a one to two week length of stay. My number one choice for accommodations is Wedgewood Resorts.

My room is always large and clean, and it’s very peaceful and quiet at Wedgewood.

It feels like a home away from home here.

We stayed mid-week for only three days and I think the property is usually used for longer stays. We were in the McKinley building- a very large 1 bedroom apartment with a full kitchen, living room & dining room was very nice space to relax as it had two couches (one may have been a pullout we did not check). Two TV's as well- one in the bedroom & living room. The bathroom was not fancy but very clean and good water pressure which we really needed as we spent the previous week on a cruise ship with no pressure.
We were on the first floor so no need to lug our bags up the stairs which was great. We did not see an elevator.
We used the laundry room- $3 per load of washing or drying and surprisingly, the dryer was excellent and did the job in one go. We brought our own soap and dryer sheets so not sure of the cost, but there is laundry in only some of the buildings so we had to walk next door but not a big deal.
The place was clean, spacious, and well maintained. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. This is a great value for a clean apartment in a fairly central location (close to most big streets / highways etc.
Best part of the stay was wandering in the wildlife sanctuary on the property. All in all, a great place to stay in Fairbanks!

I really like staying at Wedgewood. I have stayed there many times for work. The only thing I don't appreciate is their lack of technology. There are no usb/usc charging stations anywhere. Make sure you bring your block. There was no outlet near the bed other than one behind the mattress. I had to move the mattress, unplug the clock, and move the mattress back to play a game in bed. Also, I couldn't access any of my streaming services through the TV. There was an HDMI cord, but I didn't have my adapter with me. Ended up watching a baseball game on my colleague's laptop.

A spacious, clean one-bedroom suite; impeccable gardening (I can only imagine how much effort went into); a memorable round-the lake trail - such a quiet, subdued beauty! But, the most memorable of all: the never ending Aurora light shows. We have been truly lucky to witness this amazing phenomenon, almost at a peak of unraveling solar cycle (September 2025).

Not, definitely NOT a resort! This is a rundown apartment complex from the 80s badly in need of renovation, but I give two stars because the trails around the wildlife refuge are very nice to walk.
The worst thing about the property is that it is supposed to be nonsmoking and after walking and lugging our luggage upstairs to an already not- great smelling hallway with untidy housekeeping cart and towels and bedding strewn on the hall carpet from maids working on an open room we open the door to our two bedroom suite and it was like walking into an ashtray.
The smell hits you in the face so strong and horrible with stale smoke like the previous people, or previous hundred people, had been chain smoking. This was a nasty, smelly shock when we were expecting a non-smoking room. We asked to be moved to another room and they did and that one also smelled strongly of smoke but not as bad as the first one. It should be made clear and imperative to housekeeping staff that if they walk in to clean a room that smells of smoke that should not have been smoked in it needs to be immediately reported to management so that they can do an ozone treatment on it before it is booked again though after years, and currently being smoked in I don't know if anything would really clear that stink. I have never before booked a non-smoking room anywhere and walked in to have it smelling like smoke. They should just give up on advertising these as nonsmoking rooms.
Another problem is that it's oil heated, and the boiler tapped all night, interfering with sleep. The microwave is worn and looks like it's from the 90s, as do the other kitchen appliances, as does the whole suite, as do the exterior buildings, some of which, clearly visible, are apartment buildings with long-term residence with bicycles and barbecues on the balconies. The shelf paper on the shelves is tattered and worn. The bedspreads are 90s and extremely heavy and fall off the bed.
The main entrance lobby and check-in is nice but then you are sent across the parking lot to your room number which is still signed like the original apartment buildings. There are no elevators so you are dragging your suitcases up stairs. This suite was over $300 per night and we expected much better. The place is not a resort, and our two bedroom "suite" an old two bedroom apartment that had been smoked in for decades. l asked for, and expected the price to be adjusted and they took off $20 per night for the three nights we were there, paying over $1000
total. This was not anywhere near an adequate adjustment. I wish that we had just left immediately upon smelling smoke in a room advertised as nonsmoking, and it is really nervy to be charging resort prices for an old stinky apartment complex .

Quiet, quiet, quiet! Just what we needed.

Great experience. I forgot to bring facial masks and the front desk offered me a package of them so the whole group could use them during the permafrost tour. The service of the staffs was very professional and efficient. Strongly recommend this resort for both business or personal trips.
