The Breakfast menu was a real bonus in getting your day started, the Airport shuttle was so incredibly convenient, and the staff were all absolutely wonderful -- especially, Danielle. The Golden North Inn was, as far as I am concerned, the best deal in town for staying in Fairbanks!

From start to finish this was a wonderful stay. Although the accommodations are a bit outdated, they are clean and convenient. The staff is amazing. The shuttle from the hotel to the airport is a little under 10 minutes. Requesting a shuttle is very easy and the service is great. The breakfast is nice in that it stays open for multiple hours and offers a wide variety of food items. Should I have the opportunity to return to Fairbanks I would book here again. Thank you for an enjoyable stay.
