Top College Hotel Reviews

Aspen Suites Hotel Fairbanks

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient to the airport and good value."

Pike's Waterfront Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. The afternoon front desk staff were AMAZING!!! Deborah was on her first week there and we friendly and helpful. You go girl!! Keep being amazing. The rest of the staff were also very friendly and helpful. We only encountered 1 staff member that wasn't so friendly and that was the morning of check out. The ice cream for purchase between 6-9pm was very good. I had the blueberry 1 night and huckleberry 2 other nights. My husband really enjoyed the mint chocolate chip. Now on to breakfast, of course it was great also. Lots of choices and always fresh and hot. The Pike's Landing restaurant on the grounds was the best food we had our whole trip. Grace was an OUTSTANDING waitress. good recommendations and very friendly. We will definitely be staying at this hotel the next time we are in Fairbank."
