“Keeping cool in Alaska with hot licks ice cream”

I loved the Hot Licks ice cream right there in the hotel lobby. The hotel has a nice look and feel especially Felix Restaurant with gold miners motif. The food was pretty good but the bar was the best part. Overall the hotel staff are friendly and helpful. Beds were really comfy. Hmmmm ...the wonderful aroma of the ice cream shop wins the prize for me. .

“You can find a better place in Fairbanks”

Best Western Fairbanks Inn

13 Oct 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

Stayed there for one night in early October. Was not really impressed. They do renovation in one of the wings, the restaurant was closed for winter, continental breakfast was a joke. Reasonably clean and quite, but, as I was told by the locals, it is not in the best part of the town, was strongly advised not to walk around in the evening.

3/3 found this review helpful

What a horrific disappointment !

For AAA to give this a two star rating is a joke. We had originally booked a week's stay at this hotel, but after our initial check-in followed by an immediate room change, we feverishly began looking for other accomodations. We ventured down a musty smelling hallway on the second floor, lugging our bags as there is no elevator. The first "non-smoking room" reeked of stale smoke and the beds were visually lop-sided and broken down. We returned to the front desk and requested another room. The front desk staff was helpful and pleasant. The second room also reeked of stale smoke, but at least the beds appeared level. We later discovered the beds were extremely uncomfortable with my husband and I continually rolling toward the center throughout the night. The complimentary continental breakfast the following morning was staffed by one of the rudest young ladies we've come across in quite a while. We had been travelling by car for eight days and this was by far the worst hotel of all eight we stayed in. We were very fortunate to find another hotel where we were able to relax and comfortably finish our vacation.

We knew this is the peak of tourist season in the Fairbanks, Alaska area and higher rates are to be expected, however $153.00 USD per night for this kind of lodging is obscene.

This is a drastic contrast to the two star rating of the Best Western in Vancouver, BC -That one was great, clean, spacious rooms, comfy beds and an amazing workout facility.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — The front desk personnel were friendly and tried to be helpful.
    • Disliked — The false rating through AAA Guidebook, the rude wait staff at breakfast.

“Unimpressed”

2/2 found this review helpful

The room was adequate but very dark with insufficient lighting. The wireless internet connection advertised did not work the two days we were there. the hotel also failed to clean the room two days running as they claimed staffing issues and it was an oversight.......two days running! It took a conversation with the owner to remedy this. Consequently I could not recommend this hotel to other travellers!
