Loved our stay in Fairbanks
Pros:

The hotel is in a very good location. Fred Meyer is at walkable distance so we got everything we needed from there for our 4 days stay.
The room came with a kitchen so you can cook your own food and it came handy for our toddler's lunch and dinner.

The rooms are old but clean. They are warm and comfortable.

The hotel provides free shuttle service from the railroads and the airport so that was really convenient. Also they have a laundry service with a cost.

For me the only con was the wash basin is outside the bathroom.
I would stay there again if I visit Fairbanks again.

Comfy bed, full kitchen, and convenient location.
Pros:

I stayed at Sophie Station Suites in FEB and MAR 2026, for two separate business trips. It had been a few years since I last stayed there, so the recently upgraded mattresses are a pleasant change. Also, I always appreciate having a full kitchen, in order to avoid having to eat out, every night. There are new cardio machines on order, so the exercise room is currently very limited, but it is anticipated to be improved by summer of 2026. The staff was very friendly, even accommodating my request to change floors / rooms, at check-in. I ate dinner at Zack's, on my last night. The service was very attentive and burger was quite tasty, but it took a long time to arrive -- it was pretty packed, though, on a Sunday night.

Exceeded our expectations
Pros:

Enjoyed staying here for four nights. The suites are spacious and quite roomy. The kitchen is very convenient and has everything we needed to prepare breakfast and dinner. The receptionists are very friendly, especially Quinn and Kaitlynn, who always answered our questions patiently. The location is a plus—within walking distance to two major supermarkets. Highly recommended!

Cons:

Decent hotel, difficult without car
Pros:

Mostly clean, very spacious, kitchen was useful on snowy days.
Big grocery store nearby.

Cons:

If you're not driving, this location is far from town and rather inconvenient.

The airport shuttle is hard to book - many Alaska landlines don't accept international numbers. I even showed the receptionist that I was unable to call the landline and she was nonchalant. I called over fifteen times and left a few messages through booking.com but got no response. It was a day with heavy snow so this was hugely inconvenient. The airport staff helped me call the hotel eventually. The hotel can consider having a WhatsApp line instead.

The restaurant only opens at 4pm. The grab n go breakfast finishes very quickly so there's no food in the hotel except for some cookies and chips by the reception until 4pm.

A great place in a great location.
Pros:

Check in was easy and quick. Our room was clean, comfortable. The shuttle driver was EXCELLENT. He was on time, helpful, friendly. He made the early morning trip to the airport very enjoyable. He also was bringing the breakfast food to the lobby when we came downstairs, and he let us grab an orange and a burrito to go. VERY friendly, helpful....a great ambassador for Sophie Station Suites.

Cons:

We had salads for dinner at the restaurant. Our server was friendly and helpful, but service was slow.

Excellent Suite Hotel
Pros:

Stayed here one night before taking the FAI-ANC Aurora train. Plane was late but shuttle still picked me up at 0100. Very clean and nice hotel. Full kitchen, large rooms, free grab and go breakfast in the AM….burritos, fruit, coffee. Restaurant open for dinner. I walked to Fred Meyer for lunch. Excellent shuttle to train station. I would definitely stay here again.

Great Place to Stay
Pros:

I really like the staff here and the rooms are some of the best in Fairbanks hands-down. The grab and go Breakfast could use some improvement but for me and my clients, this was an excellent choice
