Do not stay at this cottage. It is far away from the city center and they do not really provide free shuttle when you need it. They promised internet access but it was not working. The cottage is by the Chena river and it was noisy. The bus driver complained a lot. I have the worse experience in dining in their restaurant. The computer in the cashier did not work and we were asked to wait till it was backed up-- when it was already past 11pm. The head waitress Kara was rude and accused us by saying" we cannot offer free foods" . I complained it to the management but was not satisfactorily resolved. This is the most unpleasant part of our otherwise great trip to Alaska. I wished I had read the reviews posted here earlier before the trip. Do not make my mistake again.

Just returned from a Princess Cruisetour that included a overnite stay at Fairbanks with a riverboat ride in the morning. We were originally scheduled to stay at the Fairbanks Princess Lodge but were notified that we were being switched to the Rivers Edge Resort. This resort in basically a bunch of cabins stuck in the middle of no where. The cabins are right along side of a highway and all we heard all nite long was the sound of trucks rumbling by. The inside of the cabins aren't bad but the outside and surronding area are terrible. If I could do it all over again I would have skipped the whole Fairbanks portion of the trip. The riverboat ride was no big deal either...

We were lucky enough to get one of the cottages right on the river where I sat outside on our patio reading until midnight...the Land of the Midnight Sun, you know. Each unit had a BEAUTIFUL hanging basket of flowers at the front entrance. The rooms were quiet, comfortable and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were waiting for us at the train station when we arrived and they delivered us to the airport at the end of our stay. There was a restaurant/bar a few steps away from our cottage. The food was excellent and the service was great. We'll stay here on our next visit to Fairbanks.

We stayed 2 nights prior to our flight out of Fairbanks. We had a connecting cottage that is intended for families wanting a connecting room. We could hear almost everyting the other couple were doing in their room as they probably did us too. The room was clean and well taken care of. The girl (don't remember her name) at the front desk was very helpful. She took us to the airport to get a rental car. The city is very spread out so that's why we rented a car. The shuttle is very few and far between. Only other transportation was by taxi. Probably won't go back to Fairbanks. It was a one time experience that one doesn't care to do again. Overall the hotel was nice.
