Sophie Station Suites

Gotta love -10 degrees. Nice shuttle driver.

Outstanding brunch options at Jake's restaurant on-site. Parking lot and winter electrical outlets accessible and well maintained. Spacious king suite. Peaceful and open landscaping location.

It was a nice place to spend 3 nights in Fairbanks. The staff were nice. We were surprised that the entry doors did not have ADA pushbuttons to open the very heavy doors. We ordered food at the bar, but it took almost an hour to get the food and I had to take it to eat later. The first night I realized that the thermostat was broken. The room temperature was probably higher than 75 degrees. I asked for it to be fixed and the 2nd night I saw a note from maintenance saying they looked at the unit and fixed it. The thermostat was still broken and we had to spend another hot night there.

The rooms are huge; we had to go to the airport the next day, so we chose this hotel with an airport shuttle. Everything went smoothly. The in-house restaurant is also delicious.

If you are just wanting to stay close to the airport with free shuttle and free shuttle to the train station, this is a great place. No complimentary breakfast and breakfast didn't open until 9:00 a.m. . Room needs a ceiling fan. Very stale air. They did have a square floor fan electric but it made noise. Front desk clerk very polite and patient

wonderful staff, on site restaurant only avaliable for dinner but great selections.

Offer a free shuttle service to town as hotel is very isolated.

Excellent staff in restaurant and bar

Sophie's Station in Fairbanks, AK is a wonderful place to stay with all the major features we require, for example it is a very safe, quiet, and clean hotel with Zach's restaurant serving delicious meals both at brunch and dinner hours. We saw locals coming in for both meals. The transportation both pickup at the Airport and when we left was on time and very friendly. Sophies Staff at the check in had our room available even when we checked in earlier than the usual 4:00 PM hour. Many thanks and kudos for Sophies Station! Sincerely, Evy and Richard Feb 2024

The property was well kept. Staff were super helpful but the rooms could use some sprucing up like carpet. While there we used the restaurant which was closed Sunday but open Monday and the food was excellent

Our room was not ready at the check in time and we were told twice to come back. Upon entering our room on the bottom floor, it immediately smelled as though it had been smoked in at some point. The room was extremely outdated and the beds, couch and chair were all extremely hard- even my children noticed it right away. The hard beds led to terrible sleep for my family. Dark decor. No allowance for late check-out and there was construction on the road leading into the hotel which led to many detours. No breakfast included. The one redeeming quality was the kitchen in the room. I would choose another property next time, with breakfast included and updated decor - and hopefully newer beds.

This hotel was close and walking distance to the grocery store and coffee shops. The rooms were dated, adequate, spacious but dirty. At least 2 inches of dust around all the baseboards- seemingly only cleaned where a vacuum could reach. Full kitchen was a plus but when we went to take a shower the drains were clogged. On our first night of three at Sophie Station the front desk staff (I don’t remember the ladies name) acted like she was annoyed when we checked in. She gave us the complete feeling we were interrupting her “cell phone” time. She didn’t greet us when we got to the front desk and never did smile once. Disappointing .

Hotel is in need of updating. Convenient to airport. Friendly hotel staff. Very clean

Hotel is very cozy, comfortable , clean.

The room was clean but no maid service for at least a four day stay. The temperature in the room was extremely difficult to control—- very, very warm and only one a/c in the bedroom. Sitting room was uncomfortably warm. Granted the weather was warm outside, but there was little ventilation possibilities.

Staff was helpful and friendly. Kind of a weird smell when you walk in. Convenient and easy to get in and out.

Good place to stay. I liked how the bedroom was separate from the living room / kitchen. Pots and pans can be obtained from the lobby. Close walking distance to a grocery store and not too far from Walmart, Costco, and other shopping centers. Workers are very kind and helpful. However, the hotel and room are outdated, and there is a lingering scent.

The room was neat and clean. Suitable for our needs as we explore the area.

Staff was great except for the one checking us in. She wasn’t friendly. The place is a little dated, but kept clean.

Older place, but very clean and staff was very nice and helpful. Place was well maintained.

The suite was a joy. First of all, it was very quiet; we heard almost no noise at all. It was very clean, and the kitchen was set up with flatware and dishes. It doesn't come with pots or pans, but there was a card on the sink stating that those were available by calling the front desk. The full-size fridge and oven were great. The bedroom and on-suite bathroom were very enjoyable. The water pressure (always an unknown) was good. The closets are large. The only only negative thing we could mention is that the couch, while looking reasonably new, lacked some support. The arm chair in the living room was very comfortable. Lighting was sufficient, as well. All in all, a really good experience, and we plan to stay there again.

Great, large apartment style room

Large spacious rooms.

I’m so torn on this review. I called the hotel for their free shuttle service and asked if we could be picked up at the airport and was met with a heavy sigh and “uhhh, maybe. Hold on.” I was nervous that they wouldn’t get us based on the annoyed tone. They did send the shuttle and the driver was great. When we got there I asked if early check-in was possible and the same girl from the phone smirked and said “probably not.” She then said it would be $54 to check in early. This policy is not her fault, but she wasn’t friendly either. I realize nobody is guaranteed free or early check-in, but I have never come across a hotel that wouldn’t just let you check in before 4pm when the room was ready. Which it was. But only for a cost? The room itself was $386/night, which I think is on the high end and not amazing considering the dated nature. One bed was comfortable and one bed felt like a 900lb man was jumping on it for a year (room 147 bed by the bathroom - try it you’ll see). Pillows were great. It was truly super clean. All of the other staff during our stay were lovely. The lounge was tasty, but only had one server for the whole place, so it took us 1.5 hours to get drinks and a few appetizers, but that wasn’t her fault. So I’m torn. 95 % great humans and really great things about the hotel, but also way too overpriced for the brown decor of the 80’s, an unfriendly start, and that bed! It’s also in a not charming area between grocery stores. Convenient yet unappealing.

Overall a nice place to stay. Was curious about no door on the bathroom... Would stay again tho.

I like the layout of the rooms. They are spacious and comfortable.

Very quiet and the balcony view was private and excellent.

The place was clean and perfect for what we needed the two nights we stayed. The staff at check in and check out were quite rude and not very pleasant to do business with. The remainder of staff and property experience was great

We stayed here previously and staff was amazing, this time not at all. The stays were literally just 5 days apart and this staff was downright rude at best. We had to check in late (around 930pm) because we had been on a tour through the artic circle that lasted all day Whomever checked us in was irritated that she had to help us because the other girl (who had helped us in the previous stay) was busy with another guest. We had told her that when we left previously that we would need a later check out, (as told to us by the other clerk just a few days prior that it wouldn't be any problem because they had very few rooms booked this time of year)

The front desk was exceptionally helpful and friendly. Very accommodating. Love the suites! Large suites with separate bedroom and living area along with full kitchen! Highly recommend!!

Dated rooms, but clean and comfortable. Staff at checkin was not very friendly. It’s pretty easy to say hello and welcome, and perhaps offer a bottle of water.

Friendly staff and good food.

Great location and the room was everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend!!

The location is superb - close to the airport, major streets, and shopping.

For Fairbanks, this hotel is “ok”. We stayed here in advance of a land tour and our bus driver described the area as”sketchy “ and told us not to roam around. They charged us $289 a night which was a total rip-off. The breakfast buffet was limited and $30, we only did this once. At best this is a $125 a night hotel. Really disappointed that Celebrity Cruises uses this property!

Distant from most of Fairbanks, very few places to eat nearby. Close to the airport if that is what you want.

great location, clean and well kept friendly, helpful staff would definitely stay there again
