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.

這是一次帶有小小缺點但是愉快的住房經驗，房間設施完善，雖然剛入住時因房務協調有誤導致房間尚未清潔，但是經過聯繫立即處理，逛個超市後立刻就整理乾淨了。
Pros:

床很舒適，房間內空調調整容易。

Cons:

房間門鎖鎖孔容易因低溫凍結，導致鑰匙插入後無法轉動，需請櫃檯協助處理，會耽擱休息時間。

A Room When I Needed It the Most
Pros:

I was bumped from my Alaska Airlines flight, so securing a room at the Golden North Inn was a godsend. Given the circumstances, the Golden North Inn, more than met my expectations.

Cons:

The room was quite small and extremely cold when I checked in. It did heat up after a few hours.

Great value and friendly option near Fairbanks airport
Pros:

I missed the free breakfast but really appreciated the 24/7 coffee and tea. The room was spacious and comfortable. But the best parts of this place were (1) THE STAFF--they were incredibly friendly and professional, especially Felicia!, and (2) The easy proximity to the airport (with free shuttle pick-up/drop-off!) and Fred Meyer's in walking distance. I would absolutely stay here again!

Cons:

The bed was a bit soft and the covers were not thick enough for the weather; I had to take the comforter off the other bed to double-up on mine!

Good
Pros:

Me gustó que tenían el transporte gratis al aeropuerto eso le facilita mucho a uno el desplazo, además que el personal fue muy amable a pesar que no hablamos del todo inglés eso no fue un impedimento para que nos ayudaran y resolvieran nuestras dudas.

Cons:

Hubieron 2 días que no nos cambiaron las sábanas ni tendieron la cama solo sacaron la basura pero el muchacho de servicio es muy amable seguro fue que se le olvidó

Great place close to the airport.
Pros:

It is really close to the airport, though it is not noisy.
There is a 0-24 reception, it was easy to check-in after midnight.
Staff were nice. Breakfast is okay. Room was clean.

Cons:

The furniture is not the newest, but still was okay.

Good location, good for one night stay if only option.
Pros:

The location was nice

Cons:

I felt like I was in a jail cell, it was so small and basic. Not for me… I had to get something last minute as my flight was delayed. Same price as a nicer hotel less than a mile away-wasn’t available for that night.

Pros:

空港から近い

Cons:

12月に行ったら 部屋の入り口の鍵穴の内部が凍っており、鍵が刺さらないため毎回フロントに行ってスタッフを呼んでガスバーナーでとかしてもらわなきゃ行けなかった。
また、早朝に自分たちの部屋のドアを外からガスバーナーで炙る音がして恐怖を感じた。

I would still give it a 11.
Pros:

I booked it for two days. I wasn’t able to check in. Because of other issues that came up. Managerment was able to let me check in and charge me for one day.

Cons:

Cold air under the door
