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

Decent
Pros:

Housekeeping took pride in their work. Room was clean. Manager went out of his way to be accommodating. My room had a portable air conditioner. Good coffee in the lobby. Bed was comfortable. Pillows were comfortable. Allowed us to store luggage and one room wow we visited Fairbanks.

Cons:

Large step up into the room. Bathtub was a funny shape to stand in. The bathroom was dated. It was tight to put my suitcase on the suitcase, stand and walk around the bed. Check in personnel seemed to struggle with the check-in process. Was next to the airport and planes came in low over the hotel.
