This resort had the home amenities that were ideal for a family. We truly enjoyed having a complimentary laundry facility and a coffee station throughout our stay. Parking was easy and resort was very close to shopping and tourist attractions. I also enjoyed having the honor-based store. Kitchen was well equipped with all cooking and dishware.

Fantastic facilities (snack room, lending library, free laundry and gym, coffee & tea all day). Very sizeable and clean room with kitchen facilities (including cutlery, crockery, pots & pans etc). Super friendly staff, across the road from Walmart and shopping and close to Creamers Field. Close to public transport options or an easy 30m walk into the city centre. Lots of parking available and easy access to the freeway.

It was a pretty nice and quiet property during our stay in Fairbanks. I just wish the bed had been a king instead of a queen. I didn’t see a king while booking. Staff was nice. There is no breakfast on the property but they don have a 24hr snack shop. Free laundry room next to the gym. I would recommend
