I normally avoid lodging with outside corridors, especially in colder places. I do so for a variety of reasons, perhaps the most important being that these places tend to be older. I'm glad, however, that I didn't avoid the Fairbanks Inn. It has the layout of an older building, but it's kept up to par with newer lodgings. The Fairbanks... More

Thank you so much for taking the time to review the Fairbanks Inn. My staff takes pride in upholding our motto of being "Vermont's Friendliest Inn".As you mentioned "the suite is huge". You'll be glad to hear that we are remodeling the entire suite. I expect it to be completed well before this coming summer season. The Fairbanks Inn's location... More

The room was very spacious, two double beds, fridge and microwave. The bathroom was equipped with heat lamps; appreciated at the end of a cool day. There was also a separate sink in the area across from the bathroom. This was convenient while my boyfriend was in the bathroom. The only complaint was that there was no breakfast. Good location...

Thank you for reviewing the Fairbanks Inn. I would have to agree the heat lamps are a great added bonus especially when it is chilly. The extra vanity is wonderful and allows two people to get ready at the same time and not having to rush so much. We do not have breakfast but do have hot chocolate, coffee, and... More

We were there for a fall foliage - which was great, as expected. This motel is OK. For the price ($159 in the middle of nowhere) - could be better. We had a room on the first floor. +Big room. +Good beds. +Nice receptionist. -Non-smoking room smelled as if it used to be a smoking room. -TV - old, blurry... More

Thank you for reviewing the Fairbanks Inn! Our Foliage season is a great time of year to visit Vermont. The changing of leaves is a beautiful thing to witness. I am sorry you were disturbed by the air vent noise. I've informed our maintenance staff and will get it fixed ASAP. We have recently just upgraded out tv sets. I... More

We drove an extra hour to get to the Fairbanks Inn based on the reviews. It was as good (or better) as they had said! As we pulled into the parking lot you could tell this was not your run of the mill chain hotel. This place has charm! We found friendly and courteous service. We were very impressed with... More

First I would like to thank you for taking the time to not only post a review about the Fairbanks Inn but for driving an extra hour to get to us. That is amazing and we feel honored you chose us. Our rooms in fact are oversized and larger than most standard hotel rooms. The extra vanity is a plus... More

Located on the banks of the Sleeper River near the famous St. Johnsbury Academy prep school, the Fairbanks Inn is a comfortable, basic motel conveniently located within walking distance of the downtown attractions including the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum and the Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium. The rooms are reasonably priced and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful and the inn... More

Thank you for taking the time to review the Fairbanks Inn. My team members and I work very hard to make each guest's stay as comfortable as possible. As you mentioned, we are centrally located and a great property to enjoy all the regional attractions and events. As we like to say..."we are close to everything, but far from expensive".... More

The Fairbanks Inn is the place to stay in St. Johnsbury. I was there for the Vermont Senior Golf Amateurs which was played at the St. Johnsbury Country Club in July 2011. The Inn gave us a really good price on our rooms. We loved the pool, very clean and not too far from our room. After golf the pool... More

Thank you for taking the time to review the Fairbanks Inn. We loved having you and the other wonderful golfers stay with us. The SJCC is a great golf course! It may be less than 2 miles from the inn, but I would drive much further if needed. The fairways, greens and overall course design are my favorite in Vermont.... More

I just returned from my 3rd stay at the Fairbanks Inn and enjoyed another great stay. The first two times, there weren't many people and it was nice & quiet. With this last stay, there were many guests with their dogs and children, plus a group of wedding guests. Everyone was respectful of the other guests. No partying outdoors or... More

The Fairbanks Inn really impressed us with very nice rooms, an excellent lobby area and helpful staff. Without the input from Victoria we wouldn't have known about the Farmer's Market held downtown by the theater and would have missed a very nice little extra stop. Thanks! More
