Dated rooms, but clean and comfortable. Staff at checkin was not very friendly. It’s pretty easy to say hello and welcome, and perhaps offer a bottle of water.

For Fairbanks, this hotel is “ok”. We stayed here in advance of a land tour and our bus driver described the area as”sketchy “ and told us not to roam around. They charged us $289 a night which was a total rip-off. The breakfast buffet was limited and $30, we only did this once. At best this is a $125 a night hotel. Really disappointed that Celebrity Cruises uses this property!

Sophie's Station in Fairbanks, AK is a wonderful place to stay with all the major features we require, for example it is a very safe, quiet, and clean hotel with Zach's restaurant serving delicious meals both at brunch and dinner hours. We saw locals coming in for both meals. The transportation both pickup at the Airport and when we left was on time and very friendly. Sophies Staff at the check in had our room available even when we checked in earlier than the usual 4:00 PM hour. Many thanks and kudos for Sophies Station! Sincerely, Evy and Richard Feb 2024
