Ideally located the Holiday Inn Express and Suites Fairbanks is adjacent to dining shopping and entertainment. Guests of the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Fairbanks will find this beautifully appointed, state of the art hotel to be well situated for visits to attractions such as Carlson Center, Historic Downtown Fairbanks, and the University of Alaska.

Decent place, good location

Came to Fairbanks for a school sporting event. Location of the hotel is great, in the same plaza as several chain restaurants and big name shopping stores. The stay itself was ok. Hotel is clean, has a pool and cable. We stayed on the 3rd floor and could hear the neighbors and upstairs occupants. Not so bad that we felt the need to complain but it could be a problem for others. We had friends on the 2nd floor above the pool, they were moved on their second day due to the chlorine smell in their room and the noisy neighbors and pool noise. The maid came and cleaned our room but forgot to give us new towels and soaps, etc. Overall, it was not a bad stay. There are plug-ins outside for your car which was nice, it was in the negative temps when we went. We will stay here next year. The location and the fact that they have a pool makes it worth it (for us).

Horrible day at the holiday inn!

Stayed here so I could take my son swimming. HORRIBLE idea! Ordered the hotel room online and when I went to check in they charged my card an additional $100 for 'incidentals' ...which being on a budget, left us NO money to do anything with during our stay. On top of that our truck got so cold overnight that it wouldn't start the next morning and the hotel WOULD NOT cooperate with us. They said if we weren't checked out in time, they would charge us for 1/2 a day...mind you we had a 6 month old baby with us!!!! My husband sat outside for over an hour trying to get our truck to start in -40• weather! We ended up having to call a tow truck to come just so we could get our truck home, a whole 5 miles away TOPS! And how did we pay for this? We didn't! We luckily were USAA insurance members & roadside assistance came and saved our butts! So thanks for nothing holiday inn! & thanks for everything USAA!...and on top of everything, this all happened on my birthday!

Good location, easily accessible.

This was our second time at this hotel. It is new and has a very friendly and cooperative staff. It offers an easily accessible business center, a variety of healthy and tasty options for breakfast, including hot and cold cereal,eggs, breads, etc. This time our room was not cleaned some days and not until evening, and only after we inquired. The location of our room faced the highway and was noisy with the traffic.
