The Springhill Suites has an excellent location. It is right across the street from the Fairbanks visitors center. We requested and got the top floor, and had no problems with noise. The suite was clean, and to us , felt luxurious after our long journey. There was a kitchenette, coffee maker, and two nice beds. We were pleased that there was a washer/dryer in the hotel there as we had been on the road many days. Many higher end hotels would not have provided this. Downtown Fairbanks is a bit downtrodden overall, but this hotel, and the restaurant in it, (Lavelle's, I believe) are both highly recommended.

A business associate and myself stayed at the Springhill Suites in downtown Fairbanks in mid-June. I only have positive things to say. The location was nice...I actually had previously avoided downtown Fairbanks because parking can be a problem but it really wasn't and it was smack in the center of some nice shopping, restaurants, and a nice park right across the street. The room was great! Walking in, there is a little office nook to the right with a full size desk, swivel chair, internet connection, sink, counter and fridge. To the left is a couch and a chair, and a TV in the living area. Walk past that, you are in the bedroom area. The beds were absolute heaven. I just sank into them. Plentiful pillows and very comfortable mattresses. The bath was fantastic, large, the showerhead was nice and high, and the vanity area outside the bathroom was perfect with accessible electrical outlets and great lighting. The room was air conditioned (a must in the summer in Fairbanks, as temps were in the high 70's/low 80's the entire time). Housekeeping did a great job and the front desk was top notch. The hotel features an elevator that requires a key card to access, which I presume keeps the non-guests out but I never saw that as a problem. FYI, there is this unbelievable Thai Restaurant a couple blocks down between 4th and 5th- definitely recommend you try it!

Luckily I bumped into the Springhill Suites by Marriott somewhere, because I think it would have been impossible to get a better deal in Fairbanks. The hotel is very centrally located (not that it would matter in a boring city like Fairbanks, but still...). Our room was very big, with two Queen size beds and one pull out coach. Also there was a little kitchenette, a desk, and a nice bathroom with the washingtable just outside. The hotelstaff is friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was included and certainly not bad for American standards (I'm European and am generally very unhappy with American food). All in all the hotel was good, but the rate of only 90 USD per night (including taxes) made it an excellent choice for us to stay!

We selected this hotel for its price and location. Fairbanks is a small city, and this hotel is right in its downtown, across from the Visitor center. Free parking is available. Staff at the front desk were not friendly, but not unfriendly either- just ok. The included continental breakfast was also just ok. Hotel provides a wake-up service if the Northern Lights are out- unfortunately we didn't get to see them during our stay... The room was comfortable with satellite TV, which was a nice touch having been without one for most of our 2 weeks in other parts of Alaska. If we were to return to the area again, we would probably go elsewhere, such as to a nearby B&B or lodge.
