Not a tourist trap!

You can't beat this place for the money. Most of the hotels in Fairbanks are overpriced summer tourists traps, not this hotel! Our room was clean and tidy. We had a separate room with a couch for watching TV. The man at the front desk was friendly and helpful. They have an airport shuttle that will also get you to the Alaska Railroad depot. We will be return guest.
