We were booked into Sophie Station through Royal Caribbean as Fairbanks was the first stop on our two-week cruise tour through Alaska. We arrived a day earlier than most on the tour, so we stayed there for three nights. It was the perfect setup for our family of four. While it wasn't the most luxurious hotel we stayed at in Alaska, it was definitely the most convenient as far as setup and walking proximity to groceries and some restaurants. The front desk staff was extremely helpful and personable, and the shuttle driver who transported us from the airport was knowledgeable and friendly (especially since it was late at night). It was a great start to our vacation!

Very clean. Employees extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms spacious & well-furnished. Quiet. Breakfast food in restaurant very good. Well worth the price.

My wife and I came to Fairbanks, Alaska from Chattanooga, Tennessee to view and photo the northern lights. Were we in for a treat. We needed a home away from home, a place where we could come and go at any hour of the day, then return to our room, relax and warm up with a kitchen and couch. We did not keep normal hours as we would photo very late at night. We would leave the hotel at 10 pm and typically return at 3am with temps. about -15F. The room was always warm and comfortable.
The staff was very helpful and interested in our photo sessions, even at 3am. The room was clean and the housekeeping staff kept it that way for our 7 day trip. We would for sure go back and highly recommend Sophie Station to anyone that wants to have the comfort and convenience of home.

Stayed at Sophie's Station while on business. The hotel and room was very clean and the staff was courtious and friendly. The room was very large with a TV in the living room and bedroom although with limited channel choices. I had lunch in the lounge one afternoon it it was excellant (Halibut Nuggets) and was told by a local couple that Zach's the in house resturant was one of the best kept secrets in Fairbanks as the food and service is wonderful although I did not have a chance to try it myself. The one issue I did have was the wirelees internet access, it was very unreliable and spotty. I actually had to go to the 3rd floor and sit in the lobby area to check my email. I would stay again for sure assuming they could put me in a room that had good internet access.
