La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fairbanks Airport
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fairbanks Airport"The breakfast was the absolute standout. It was hot and delicious every morning. They had eggs, potatoes, breakfast, meat, biscuits and gravy, waffles, steel cut oats, and all the fixings. It is a little remote from all the downtown stuff, but it was an easy ride from the airport. The towels were so soft and plushy. The bed was pretty comfortable as well. Well. They gave you plenty of pillows."
