Top University of Alaska-Fairbanks Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Pioneer Park Inn

8/10 Good

"Pretty decent overall in regards to cleanliness, better maintainable can be done overall..."

Rivers Edge Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly, efficient check in and out. Good breakfast buffet, with attentive staff. Nice to be able to park right outside unit - especially as it rained during our stay. Before the rain, it was handy having the river walk on the property after our long drive to Fairbanks. Good location on the Chena, yet only about a 10-minute drive to most places we went - restaurants, university, Riverboat Discovery, Pioneer Park/Alaskaland, Antique Car Museum, and just over 20 minutes to visit Santa in North Pole!"

7 Gables Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"The mattress was a little old and saggy. Everything is pretty old and dated as well as the social areas are pretty cluttered. Breakfast was nice and plentiful. The owner was very nice and helpful. There are also quite a few stairs you have to manually haul your luggage up and down."
