Clean hotel in a great location!
Pros:

We had an amazing experience at the Bear Lodge! The lobby & room were clean and well appointed, staff was helpful and friendly, the grounds were amazing - we walked the trails and went to the auto museum and the restaurant was delicious.

Saved Our Trip with Amazing Service
Pros:

We were very grateful to secure last-minute accommodations at 9:30 PM when other hotel reservations fell through. The upgrade we received was wonderful and truly enhanced our trip, including our visit to the car museum and the beautiful nature trail. The excellent customer service, shuttle service, and overall experience were greatly appreciated.

Wonderful place to stay!
Pros:

Great place to stay. The grounds are beautiful. The staff were all very courteous and helpful. Just remember- things are more expensive in Alaska since most everything has to be shipped in.

Perfect of both worlds: hotel comfort/services and beautiful outdoors hikes and gardens
Pros:

Came at the end of August, just in time to see the Sandhill cranes at the Creamers field behind the hotel property fence. We enjoyed the room, the amenities if offered, the friendliness of the staff and willingness to answer questions. Having access to umbrellas was a great plus as we used it during our hike of the trails withing the property of this hotel. We were able to enjoy everything we hoped for: the outdoors property and the comfort of the hotel.

Pros:

The room was large clean. The furniture was small and not really useable which is probably why they keep the fridge, coffee maker, cups, and ice bucket in the bathroom. The cups next to the toilet was particularly puzzling. Plenty of parking here, and location is easy to get to and from different places in town.

NCL precruise stop in Fairbanks for two nights
Pros:

This was a two day stay as part of our Pre cruise tour to Alaska with NCL. It worked out fine as far as the rooms go. I would be prepared for limited choices for breakfast. There is a main dining room, which is expensive for breakfast and not very good at all. Food came out cold and was expensive. There is a side breakfast "cafe" where you can buy muffins, breakfast sandwiches and coffee. Much better choice. Dinner is limited too. We ate at the Italian restaurant nearby, walking distance. The plates are large, so I'd recommend sharing an entree.

EXCELENTE ESTADIA EM FAIRBANKS
Pros:

O hotel é muito bem localizado, em uma área da cidade com muita natureza. Há restaurantes bons na região (no hotel e próximo a ele, tipo 5-10 minutos de caminhada). A equipe é cordial e ativa. Há uma pequena loja de conveniência na recepção que funciona 24hs. O bar do hotel tem excelentes cervejas.

Cons:

O preço dos alimentos no restaurante é mais elevado que o habitual, o que penso dever-se a ser um hotel numa área mais isolada e cujo movimento é sazonal. Apesar do preço, é tudo muito saboroso e bem preparado.

Good, clean, breakfast too expensive!
Pros:

Very clean and nice. Too expensive. Breakfast was $20 for cereal/continental items and $30 if you wanted more of a meal. Way too expensive. Caters to bus tours.

Solid tourist hotel in Fairbanks
Pros:

This place is designed for cruise tours and it delivers. The rooms are comfortable and clean, with just what you need. The staff are friendly and hospitable.

If you’re looking for a luxury or high end experience, this is not it. If you just want a clean and quiet place to sleep and shower, this is a great choice.
