This is not a bed and breakfast as advertised, and we didn't see any hot tubs either. When trying to check in it was chaos. We had to walk in a garage and then upstairs to a cluttered kitchen area and then was told we needed to drive 3-4 blocks to the facility to stay there. It was not good, and we were happy to leave in the morning. We were trying to save money, but not worth it!

Poor. Would not recommend
Poor. Was sold a standard room with queen bed (which photos showed to have a bathroom). Was put into a single room and the bathroom was down a corridor… very inconvenient for an older guest. Hotel generally understaffed, not very friendly and lacking in amenities.

Facility was more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel. Room had dormers so low ceilings in room. Refrigerator was in closet and you could not open door completely. Hot was to sink was non-existent. Shower did get warm enough. Proprietor was very friendly.

Nice little out of the way hotel that has comfortable beds. It seems to be a large, converted house that has been converted into a hotel. The office is in the still functional kitchen, which is convenient. For the price point, this place cannot be beat. Check-in is a bit disorgainized at this time. They did manage to check us in on time. The owners/managers seem to care about the success of the three hotels they own. The best breakfast option in the are is the Oasis Bar and Grill. It is simple, it is a bar. but has really excellent food at exceptionally good prices for Fairbanks. We have eaten at several restaurants in Fairbanks and this little dive is the best overall. It is very close to 7 Gables on University.

I booked it seeing the 7.2 rating on Expedia. Bad start, had to snake my way to even find hte office thorugh run down entrance. Finally, with some help, I found the office and was told that I am booked in a satellite facioity, few blocks away. That building was under construction with no working elevators, had to haul the luggage to the third floor. Construction debris and dirt everywhere. Doubt if they had certificate of occupancy. Stay far away form this property, spend your money somewhere else, don't let pictures fool you. Now I discover, the property had terrible rating on other booking sites

The property is "dated". 1980's desk, bed frame, nightstand, etc. With that being said, the bed was comfortable, the place was clean, hot water with ample water pressure, and friendly staff. They do have Roku and internet, but not cable TV. If you're looking to stay 1 or 2 nights this, and/or single/couple place will do. With that being said I cannot recommend the facility with families that have small children.

I read a lot of bad reviews after I had already prepaid so I was worried. 1. There is actually staff, this is NOT one woman doing everything alone. 2. They are very clean rooms, my niece laid down on the floor in the room and I was fine with it. The bathroom was clean the mini fridge was clean. I didn’t smell any musty odors or over powering cleaners or bug sprays. 3. The entryway is through an enclosed green house but there are plenty of directional signs and it’s easy. 4. There is no elevator(bed and breakfast type places don’t usually have those) but we didn’t expect one. If you want a hotel with an elevator then pick a hotel with an elevator instead. 5. As far as the complaints about outdated rooms, that is the charm of the place. We loved it and would go back again. There is a whole wall of books upstairs (which kept me up half the night reading) and the people running things are very pleasant and helpful. If you want a luxury hotel rent one, if you want a lovely comfortable room that doesn’t feel impersonal go here.

Everything was great! However, it isn’t your standard Inn. It’s like an apartment or multi-family housing turned into a hotel. At first we thought we were lost as we drove through a small residential neighborhood. The Inn has residential homes on all sides. We followed the office signs through a 2 story screen room, walked upstairs, and came into a hallway with a lobby fountain. The only room we could see from there appeared as a residential kitchen with someone sitting at the counter with some paperwork and 2 other people in conversing about reservations. We were a little confused as we were invited into the kitchen lol. It was not the usual check in experience even though everyone acted as if it was totally normal to do business in the kitchen. While we paid the rate for a queen or king bed room we were given a penthouse suite with a large jacuzzi tub. It felt safe, was very clean, and had all of the amenities we needed and more for a great price! Although I have lived in AK for 4 years now it reminded me of just how different things can be in AK. Repurposing and making do with what you have is pretty typical in Alaska but it can make for some unusual experiences. It’s also a large portion of the fun and adventure of exploring Alaska!

Like an old comfortable Alaskan home
Room comes with a full and delicious breakfast. Map location looks like this is in a downtown location, but it is in a residential area with no commercial establishment within walking distance. Bedding needs updating. Mattress and pillows are not comfortable. Hostess is very friendly and helpful.
