wow the staff was the best nice alaskan feel and it didnt kill my budget because alaska is expensive stay at the best western

When we arrived at Fairbanks by train and discovered that the B&B that we had planned to stay at had cancelled out on us, we were rather distressed. However, thanks to some very helpful Alaska Railroad employees and the manager of this Best Western, we were able to get into the last available room. They even covered the cost of our taxi to get there from the station! They were also very helpful in shuttling us to pick up our rental car the next day near the airport. Although the service was good, the rooms were rather basic and the location was not in the best part of town. Also, the hotel’s restaurant was not very good. However, they do have free wireless internet and we were able to use their laundry facilities.

We enjoy staying in Best Western hotels all over the country and I would have to say this is the worst one that we have come across. The halls and floors creak like an old pirate ship, the traffic noise from the street in unbelievably loud, and the television reception was terrible. It was 4:30 P.M when we requested another room but they said the hotel was full. I can only assume that the other guests arrived on foot because the parking lot was almost empty.
On the plus side, there was an air conditioner in the room, which is unique in Alaska. I was not expecting a five star hotel, but for $140 I would have liked more.

Downstairs rooms are very nice and cozy. Upstairs, "smoking" rooms, not much to speak about.
Felix Cookhouse, at this location, is excellent - loved their halibut fish & chips, but meals were always good, service good, and atmosphere very nice. Prices were extremely reasonable. Facilities like laundry, and free airport van, made this hotel very user-friendly.
Very clean, walking distance to public bus and downtown area (about 4 blocks). Fairbanks public transport is a bit scimpy but if you time it right you can catch the North Pole bus or the bus to downtown right outside the hotel. Call the transit center for times. Taxis are expensive, but not all cabs charge the same fee, and deals can be brokered.
I stayed from Feb 20th - March 4th and had a blast!
