Fairbanks Princess Riverside Lodge

Restaurant staff was very friendly. Food in restaurant was delicious. Breakfast buffet not good.

This did have basic service that you would expect with a 3 star hotel. We were a party of 6, with 3 rooms reserved for 3 nights. Granted, we were some of the last visitors for the season, just prior to closure, but I literally had to go begging coffee refills for the mornings, and the tea was not replenished. I finally located some at the front desk--since housekeeping was unable to locate. Also, had to beg for Kleenex--after the dispenser was left empty for two days. The daily housekeeping service was a huge disappointment. The rooms were not made up until after 5:45 pm. The first day, I had just pulled the covers up on the bed in our room and the bed was then not freshly made that day. The lobby was continually packed with visitors, and difficult to even find a place to sit. People were either waiting for a room, or had checked out and were waiting for a later flight. At any rate, it made the public areas very uninviting.

This property is so beautiful. We didn't want to go off the property most of the time. So much to see and do. The food was great as well. Can't wait to return.

The room was very nice for where we were. We ate the $25 breakfast buffet one morning. Cold eggs. Couldn’t get cream for coffee. Biscuits and gravy had no sausage. The bed was not good for my husbands back. Overall ok

Having a frig would be nice.
