This is a great hotel with super clean rooms! We had a good nights rest with no complaints at all. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast help was very friendly. The motel looked new to me, but not sure if it is, maybe just well maintained! Enjoy!

Very accommodating especially regarding transportation from the airport to the hotel upon our arrival and from the hotel to the railroad upon our departure. Wonderful breakfast! The lady was great about keeping the area clean, sensitive to the needs of everyone, and kept food rotated. The front desk staff were very helpful to answer many questions regarding Alaska and the...

The hotel is clean, comfortable and well located. They provided us complimentary pickup from the station and dropped us to the airport when requested. The breakfast was good, staff friendly. Overall a very good experience.

The location of this hotel is ideal - on a direct route from FAI, and close to many things to do in Fairbanks. Breakfasts were far better than most other places we have stayed anywhere in North America, and the staff was very courteous and friendly. It is a bit pricey but in Fairbanks all the decent places are also... More

This hotel has good bedrooms, a nice fitness center. The breakfast was correct but the size of the room was too small people had to eat at the reception. Overall this is a good choice with clean environment, the reception lady was fun and professional. We just felt that the price was slightly out of the range for the location... More

The cleanest and the best hotel in Fairbanks that serves a hot Complimentary Breakfast that gets you pumped up for all Fairbanks has to offer. Room was excellent and the Chena River was a stones throw away from the room, literally.

We travel to Fairbanks regularly for both business and pleasure. We now generally stay at the Best Western Chena River Lodge when traveling for pleasure (since we can choose). The people are attentive and helpful, but not intrusive. Not entirely without problems, but always resolved promptly and satisfactorily. They could use a few more plug-ins for winter visits, but that... More

We were in Fairbanks for one night before our trip to the Arctic Ocean and had an early departure the next day. They were very nice to let us get something to eat before the cafe opened in the morning. Very comfortable with a very nice staff. They are close to the airport and restaurants and there is a grocery... More

Stayed here in February this year and was very pleasantly surprised by how nice this Best Western is! Friendly staff, good location, an excellent breakfast in the morning. Nicely updated rooms, good bed linens and furnishings. Heater worked well, blackout curtains, and a good sized bathroom. I would definitely stay here again.

Before arriving we had to call and change our room size for one and the front desk clerk was happy to assist us with the change. When we arrived around 9pm, the change had been noted for the night and we were good to go. We moved into a king room the next day. Our experience for staying there for... More
