Great place!
Pros:

Great place to stay, wife and I ended up staying an extra night. Older building but all of the amenities and fixtures are modern and the rooms are clean and comfortable. Never heard our neighbors and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Great little free breakfast in the lobby and close to the airport. Will be staying again!👍

Would go back again!
Pros:

Close to airport and town. Independently owned, which made it more personal. “Breakfast” was typical packaged stuff, but available til 11am. They accommodated us getting in early.

Cons:

We had 2 stays. 1st stay: First room, couldn’t lock the door so we had to move.
2nd stay, construction in adjoining room started at 8am, and then on and off until checkout.
No coffee machines, but I think they had coffee in lobby all day. No real dresser drawers. The owner and staff were attentive and good humored.

Very helpful with proximity to the airport. Perfect for a late arrival into Fairbanks.
Pros:

Appreciated their timely shuttle service too and from the airport. Staff was very friendly. And their breakfast buffet really had everything you could want for a continental breakfast. Thank you.

Cons:

I think our room was one that hadn't been updated yet, so there were a few things needing updating. But I think most rooms wouldn't be this way. It needed weatherstripping under the front door.

Good enough for me.
Pros:

Clean and quiet 🤫 just not fancy. A good place to get a good nights rest with no-frills

Cons:

It's a little rundown, but no big deal. This is Alaska.

良い
Pros:

氷点下30℃前後の日に泊まったが、空港に近く、送迎サービスがあり、朝食もついてのお値段としてはかなり良心的に感じた。朝食は簡易なもので、フロント前のイートインスペースで、マフィンやベーグル、ヨーグルト、チーズ、ゆで卵、ジャム、お茶やコーヒーなどがあった。部屋も大変暖かく、浴槽もあり、暖まれる。
室内の設備としてはテレビ、電子レンジ、冷蔵庫、暖房、トイレ、浴槽、タオル、シャンプー、コンディショナー、ボディソープ、プラスチックのカップなどがある。

Cons:

送迎サービスの利用を伝えたのが当日だったこともあり、シャトルの空港到着が多少遅れたため、送迎依頼は早めにするのがおすすめ。
1番困ったのはドライヤーが部屋になく、フロントに取りに行く仕様なのだが、部屋からフロントは室外を移動するため、極寒の中1分でも取りに行くのがはばかられた。
テレビは使い方が悪かったのか、チャンネルが1つだけで他に回せなかった。
湯沸かしポットは無い。

Golden North was a perfect shelter from the storm.
Pros:

We came into Fairbanks at 1:00 am on a thirty below spell. My neighbor told me there was waste deep snow in the driveway. We booked at Golden North rather than trying to swim the 100 meters through the snow that night.
Golden North is very close to the airport and provided shelter from the storm. The room was small but warm and comfortable. It is a short walk to Fred Meyers so we were able to shop for food before we got a ride home and begin blowing out the snow.
Oh, the continental breakfast had fresh bagels and buns, oranges and bananas and lots of coffee!

Cons:

The room was tiny but we managed to get good sleep after a long day of traveling.
