Very surprized with the hospitality and friendliness of the Bridgewater Hotel in Fairbanks. Greeted with homemade cookies and punch in lobby. Free internet service. Great value breakfast in morning. Everyone attentive, happy and informative there. For a structure as old as this one, it is well maintained and clean. Real homey attmosphere. It is non-smoking hotel but just outside lobby is a nice flower garden area for smokers. Quite pleasant to just sit out there and chill out too. It is within walking distance of parks, visitor center, downtown area and landmarks. Near variety of restaurants within walking distance also, Italian, Steak, BBQ, Thai, Chinese etc. Price is right and a family atmosphere made this a very pleasant stay.
