    I mean the staff could be a little more happier and less rude. I felt as if I was held hostage with the questions she asked and how she presented herself. I do love good amazing customer service, I would love to stay here again but idk about the front desk, I’d rather hear my mom yell at me than check in at a hotel with horrible customer service.

    It’s cute and cozy, the beds are amazing. My daughter and sister love it.

    The A/C unit was pointed right at the bed and 18” from it. Bathroom a little tight.

    Individual little cottages. No neighbor noise. Very cute.

    There was no elevator to carry heavy luggage to the second floor. The breakfast that was offered was expensive and awful.

    My room was exceptionally large. While the decor and furnishings are not up-to-date, they are clean and very comfortable.

    Good place to stay in Fairbanks during the summer.

    Payment through Booking was not ideal. This was a business booking and we had to go through a credit card authorization process to make it so that employees did not have to pay for the room and wait for reimbursement.

    The room was very comfortable and quiet. This is the advantage of having separate cottages for each group. We look for opportunities to stay there when we see availability and price dips.

    The neighborhood nearby looked kind of sketchy, and I was concerned until I pulled into the complex. I realize that you can't do anything about that.

    It was very clean and comfortable. I loved the view of the river. As it was a stand-alone unit, it was very quiet. It was unfortunately raining, so sitting outside was not an option.

    A little far from stuff, but not a big deal as they have a shuttle service that will take you where you want to go, and there is a Fred Mayer's (grocery store) slightly less than a mile's walk from the hotel.

    Breakfast was offered at a decent price, the room was huge and entire hotel was extremely clean. Staff were very friendly, helpful, and accommodating at all hours of the day/night. Airport shuttle was included, and this place was somehow one of the cheapest places to stay in Fairbanks (late Sept, last minute booking).

    River walk wasn't much. Just seemed like a grassy path in front of the cottages.

    There was no elevator to transport our luggage to the second floor but the front desk staff graciously helped with our suitcases. Very good green shuttle service to Museum of the North and to the Fairbanks Airport. Chena Restaurant was GREAT. The best meal of our whole trip. Had lavender infused halibut. Wow.

    When I asked to extend my stay from 1 night to 2 nights the desk clerk didn't look to see if there was any availability. It was assumed that they were full and I was told as much. I looked online and there were rooms available. I booked it and came right back to make the arrangements to prevent changing bungalows. I just feel like a real attempt at customer service would have involved looking to see if they were actually full for the next night. Instead, I was forced to do their job.

    I did like the individual bungalows. That was really nice.

    Found nothing really unlikable about it. Though there are no onsite places for breakfast and lunch, there were places close by to either order from and have delivered or take a shuttle/taxi to if you don't have a car.

    Had a cottage with river view. Walking trail just outside the back door. It was a peaceful area for the most part. Some noise from boats and traffic if you were sitting outside. Some wildlife to watch.
