When I arrived, the private bathroom that was for my room was not actually in my room - I had to go out into the main hallway and down some stairs to get to it. When I went into the bathroom the first time, it hadn't been cleaned since the last person used it. (To their credit, the bathroom was cleaned as soon as I pointed that out.) Also, the hair dryer plug was coming apart and did not look safe to use. The TV didn’t always work, and the room did not have its own thermostat, so there was no way to turn down the heat. The bed was squeaky every time I moved, and I could feel the springs in it, so I couldn't sleep. I also had to haul my 45-lb suitcase up stairs to the third floor, which was rather difficult! But there was a fan to use, a fridge and a microwave in the room, which was handy, and breakfast was decent.

Very underwhelming

Be aware: there are several separate buildings associated with this hotel, located far apart. We were dropped off at reception and, after checking in, had to get a second taxi to get to our room for the night. Also, half the towels in our bathroom were HEAVILY stained.

Huge Room with Walking

The room is roomy and comfortable. It has more space than my first studio apartment. We were on the third floor so the perpetually broken elevator was a minus. The place is split up into various buildings. Ours was an 11 minute walk to breakfast. We used the 5 food trucks in the adjacent parking lot instead. It was a decent quiet (other than the highway) residential area. Uber guys can find it. The staff was helpful if a bit distracted by all the other activities.

We had a reservation for one night. We received a confirmation and our credit card was charged. Our flight was originally scheduled to land at Fairbanks airport at midnight but the airline changed our itinerary and told us we would not land until 1:00 a.m. We contacted the office at the Abbey Archwood Inn and the person we spoke to assured us that would not be a problem. She told us to call when we arrived and she would check us in. She even told us she had checked someone in at 3:30 a.m. the night before. We arrived at the Abbey Archwood Inn and called them at 1:46 a.m. The gentlemen who answered the phone said he did not have a reservation in our name. He did tell us that he had a room available but it would cost $200 -- which was four times what we initially paid. We contacted Expedia, who tried to call but he refused to answer the telephone. We would like a refund because we paid for this room but when we arrived at the Abbey Archwood Inn they claimed they had no reservation in our name. We offered to show the man our confirmation from Expedia showing we had the reservation and had already paid for the room. He refused to look at the confirmation. As a result of his behavior, we ended up trying to sleep in our car -- after traveling for over 15 hours.

Fair

Surprised the inside looked more like an old dormitory instead of a hotel. The entrance, hall and stairs to the laundry need some TLC. In our room, we enjoyed the kitchen with stove and refrigerator. The bathroom was up to date and clean enough. Our beds were comfortable but the pillows were terrible.

And unusual, but very Charming place. I'll be honest, I thought the place was a little bit sketchy when I first went to go check in, but despite the unusual nature of the property, the rooms are large, comfortable, and I had an outstandingly Pleasant stay. I cannot recommend this place enough.
