So many good things have already been written about this Inn that adding anything new is seemingly impossible so apologies if this sounds like a re-hash of all that has gone before.

Our holiday in Alaska ended in Fairbanks. After having read so many wonderful reviews about this Inn we had saved it for the last few nights of our trip to Alaska. It was almost a year in the planning and we had high hopes for Dale and Jo View Suites. Having looked forward to it for a loooong time.

We arrived at the Inn at 10:00 pm after being on the road most of the day traveling from Anchorage. Jo greeted us at our car with a warm smile which made us feel very welcomed. More like we where visiting family, than meeting someone for the first time. We where helped with our baggage and taken up to our room, (The Spa Room).

We found this room to be larger than most, very clean, nicely appointed with all we could want for the next few days. The large soaking tub was heaven and the bed was divine and during our time there gave us the best sleep we have ever had. Good quality toiletries, chocolates on the bed added to the feel of a quality establishment.

Our breakfasts each morning was divine and we so loved being able to take it up to our room where we could enjoy the beauty of our surroundings. We always felt each morning more than a little full! Jo was a wealth of information and knowledge and went out of her way to help us plan places to go visit and what was good and not so good. Without her input we may not have found some of the very beautiful spots we visited.

We had a mixture of weather during our stay - temps in the low 50s followed by a mini-heatwave with temps in the upper 70s - but the freedom we had in the house, the hospitality, and our own lovely room meant that whatever the weather we were well provided for whenever we weren't out and about.

The Inn is perfectly situated on the side of a mountain on the West side of Fairbanks. The peace and quiet of our surroundings was almost deafening. Very close to the airport, art galleries, restaurants and to downtown. The views of the Alaskan Range and the Chena and Tanana Rivers is unobstructed and endless. This would be a perfect Inn to stay at if your interested in seeing the Northern Lights in the winter. In fact we are already working to make plans to go back in the winter to do just that. We where also impressed at how quiet the Inn is in the evenings and at night. During our stay the Inn was fully booked, but you would have thought we where the only ones there.

I can really only sum up by saying that this holiday is the best I've ever had and I would recommend this Inn without reservation and can not wait to return. The Inn felt like our home away from home and made our vacation time in Fairbanks absolutely fantastic.

Yes there are many choices of places to stay in Fairbanks, but I doubt few, if any, are as special as Dale and Jo View Suites.

Fantastic experience, wonderful amenities and treated like family!! I can't wait to stay in the Red Room again and be pampered like a princess. Jo is a fantastic chef and both Jo and Dale are superb people with endless stories that made me double over in laughter. Looking forward to another stay--

I had tried to find a "regular" hotel many months before our planned trip to Alaska and was shocked to discover that the better hotels were booked solid due to Princess, Holland America, and other tours. This led me on a search to find decent accommodations at a reasonable price in Fairbanks, which can be a challenge during peak tourist season.

My search included tripadvisor where I located Jo and Dale View Suites and was amazed by the great reviews. Well, Jo was very accommodating over the phone and kept in touch to assure that everything was going to be ready for our stay.

After a day on the train up from Denali, we rented a car and followed the concise directions to their place, which is out of town. The five of us were booked for the suite, which worked out great. The place was VERY clean and nicely decorated. Jo met us as soon as we arrived (after 10 PM - yes, it is still light out) and made sure we were well taken care of.

The breakfast quiche and fresh fruit was great (I just wish breakfast was available every day in the suite)! We needed to do a little laundry and Jo provided everything needed, as the washer and dryer were in the suite. When we returned, we found the wash either hung up or layed out on the bed. Great service!

Jo and Dale, thanks for a great three days in Fairbanks!

My husband and I stayed at Dale and Jo View Suites this spring of 2008.

First of all, the Inn is absolutely beautiful. We stayed on the 3rd floor in the "Spa Room". The Suite was very spacious, with enough space for me and my husband to read, watch television or just enjoy the views of the Alaskan Range and Rivers without sound being an issue. The room was very quiet. The bathroom is very large and luxurious. It had a large walk-in shower that was big enough for two people (!) and a large soaking tub, also perfect for 2. The floor was heated, which made it very nice first thing in the morning. This may seem like a small thing to some, but one of the things about this Inn I loved the most was the clean water every time I took a bath. We have really bad water back home, and this was such a treat for me.

Breakfast was out of this world! I love how this Inn serves breakfast. The food was to die for and we loved being able to take it up to our room. We actually looked forward to breakfast each morning.

When we arrived, the innkeepers, Dale and Jo, gave us restaurant recommendations and some great ideas as to what we might enjoy doing in the area during our stay. Dale and Jo were great innkeepers! We left feeling very much like they are old friends.
