7 Gables Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Very sweet couple running the hotel. Delicious breakfast prepared every day and the most reasonable rates in town."

North Star Place

10/10 Excellent

"The property is very clean and updated. It is located near everything and in a safe area. The owners checked on us to make sure we didn’t have any problems. Love the keyless entry also. We would definitely stay there again. The only partial downfall was staying on the 3rd floor and having to carry our Heavy suitcase up 3 flights. But not a big deal and worth it to have a nice place to stay."

Borealis Basecamp

10/10 Excellent

"Setting aside the fact that we were thrilled and lucky to enjoy a spectacular northern lights show during our stay, Borealis Basecamp was a wonderful brief getaway experience. The facility has provided just enough extra activities (not a price bargain by any means, but probably comparable to similar venues) to keep you physically engaged during daylight hours. However, for those who have mobility issues, particularly back injuries, you'll need to make yourself cozy in the reception or adventure/cafe yerts and keep yourself occupied with a book or conversation with other guests, which is what my husband did. The food at the Pub and Latitude 65 restaurant was wonderful. Terrific coctails. Pay attention to the description of amenities provided in the igloos, which is what we opted for. Super comfortable bed offering a terrific view of the night sky. And finally, they make good on their promise to call your room at any hour when the aurora appears. One night between 9pm and 6am (roughly), we received 6 calls! But that's what you are paying for, and we were happy to have our sleep disturbed!"

Aurora Villa

8/10 Good

"Overall the villa was quite nice! I didn’t love the drive up there since it wasn’t entirely paved and we had a trailer with us, but it was doable and worth it for me. The rooms were a little warmer than my liking but everything was well decorated and nicely cleaned. The walls are a little thin, but there weren’t too many guests when we stayed so it wasn’t an issue for us. The windows in both the room and the lobby were huge and perfect for viewing the scenery. Breakfast was fine and was what was advertised to us. I liked the do it yourself set up. I enjoyed this place and would definitely come back if I had the chance. My only caveat is that I wished there was an actual staff person at the villa for check in and questions. Seemed kinda sketchy to just be sending my card info to a random email/number."

Alaska Heritage House Bed and Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"This b&b is just so wonderful for those who appreciate a house full of period pieces, charm and a great breakfast! The house has so much history. It is beautifully furnished. Loved the old photos! Loved wandering into all the rooms exploring! Snacks and coffee/tea/drinks always available for guests. Convenient to all things Fairbanks. So happy to have stayed at such a special place. Thank you Margo for the wonderful breakfast and filling us in on the history of the house and it’s owners."
