I stayed here on business for a week and they have everything you could need, walking distance to grocery store,fast food and full kitchen to cook in. Rest. a little on the $$$$ side but staff was great. Evening front desk was the best. Don't forget to grab a few taffy candies on your way out. Shuttle service is only... More

They call them suites, but apartments might be more appropriate. Our room(s) included a living room, full kitchen, separate bedroom and bath. It was huge! The beds were comfortable and the linens clean. The bedroom had its own flat-screen TV for viewing from the beds. The bath, with tub/shower was large and clean. All the fixtures were modern and worked... More

I stayed here for 6 nights last week and I was quite impressed. First, loved the location - about 3 miles from the airport and just down the street from the University. Two full scale grocery stores are nearby, along with gas stations. There is a large parking lot and although you don’t absolutely need a car here it’s best... More

We just returned from a great time in Fairbanks and Sophie Station was a great place to stay!! The front desk staff, including Kevin was courteous, attentive and top notch! We ate breakfast every morning at Zach’s and the food was always presented well and good, especially the blue berry pancakes! The staff in the restaurant was great! My only... More

Great place - friendly staff. Full kitchen at less than $100 a night!? (This was March 2013). I was worried from the reviews we'd get an old dump, but place was nice & bright & clean. If you desire to see the northern lights, the front office told me: Drive about 7 to 10 or so miles up University Ave... More

Sophie Station is a great find! The one-bedroom apartment layout is perfect, especially for extended stays. We were there for one week traveling with friends, so it provided a comfortable place for us to gather. It has a spacious kitchen and sitting area. The bedroom did not disappoint either with a dressing area/bathroom combo! It was exceptionally clean and the... More

We stayed for five days at Sophie's in the first week in March. It was conveniently located to Fred Meyer's and Safeway so getting food for your little kitchen was very easy. The suites are spacious with three large areas. The living room is a nice nesting place after running around all day, and the large bathroom and huge closet... More

I stayed at the Sophie Station recently as part of a pre-cruisetour group via Royal Caribbean cruise lines. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and we had no real issues. The property itself is obviously an older hotel, but is in great shape. The grounds are nice and they have some really beautiful landscaping. It is very convenient to the... More

Just celebrated my wife's birthday here, and she (and the whole family) loved it. Although the in-hotel restaurant Zach's is wonderful, we chose to cook king crab legs & ribeyes that we bought at Fred Meyer, right across the street. Having a full kitchen in your own room is great. Our two kids loved the space, and enjoyed watching kiddie... More

We spent a cold November weekend (20 below) for our 25th anniversary and loved this place. The staff is super friendly and our room was more like a condo apt with full kitchen, living room with flat screen TV, bedroom with 2 queen beds and a large bathroom; all spotless and warm. Free paper every day. We had a great... More
