The Downtown B&B is a pleasant, economical place to stay in Fairbanks. Carolyn, the host, is courteous, friendly, and professional, and made our stay very enjoyable.

The B&B is a few blocks from downtown, just a block south of Airport Way, a major street in Fairbanks. Guest rooms are upstairs, and guests also have access to a full kitchen (sink, stove, full-size refrigerator/freezer) and sitting room. Guests enter through a separate door on the side of the house. Our room had two twin beds, a closet, and a private bathroom. It was small and had a low sloped ceiling, but was still comfortable. Wireless internet is available (unsecured network).

The schedule of our vacation forced us to leave before breakfast was served, so we only ate breakfast once. Carolyn offered homemade muffins, fresh fruit, and coffee, juice, and milk along with about a dozen cold cereal choices.

We stayed here on three non-consecutive nights, which were interrupted by a night in another town. On the night we were away, Carolyn allowed us to keep the rest of our luggage in our room, which she locked, at no extra charge.

We'll definitely plan to stay at the Downtown B&B if we're ever in Fairbanks again.

Was greeted by the owner and made to feel welcome. The rooms are on the second floor. both couples had a nice room w/ bath. rooms were freshened while we were out. breakfast was cereal, melon, muffins and beverages. enough to start the day. Had a great stay here, not new but clean and comfy

The neighbourhood surrounding this B & B is a bit seedy, and so I was a bit worried as we approached it. The previous reviewer is correct, the bedrooms are located in a separate part of the house. I did not find this to be a huge turn off as we are generally looking for clean, safe accomodation, and that is what we got. There was no one to meet us, just signs pointing with directions to our rooms. Hence there was no one to ask advice about what to do etc. We did not require help, so we were OK with this. I can see how some might feel unwelcome, but we just really wanted a place to sleep. We met our hostess in the morning, she provided us with a decent breakfast in her part of the house, kind of old-fashioned and quaint. She seemed friendly and kind.

Bed and Breakfast for me means being invited into someone's house, being made to feel like a guest. This wasn't the case here.

First the guest bedrooms are literally locked off from the rest of the house. The garden was off-limits. The room was clean and tidy but without charm or frills.

Breakfast was a joke - cold cereal, a small, stale, store-bought muffin and a slice of unripe melon. I was the only one at the table, I suspect the other guests (if there were any) had more sense and ate breakfast at a restaurant.

Very mediocre overall, and I definitely wouldn't go back
