While the hotel facility is a bit dated, we had a good 2 day stay. It had everything we needed: Decent sized rooms with everything in working condition, an exercise room with updated equipment, self-service credit card operated guest laundry, large common areas, ample parking and an efficient location. On top of it, the staff were very welcoming and accommodating.

Selected this motel because they advertised “area shuttle” and shuttle to and from airport. I should have called to clarify and/or they should make their policies more clear online. There were shuttles for additional fees to specified area attractions (such as Chen’s Hot Springs) but not just “local”(for example I wanted to go to The Museum of the North at UAF). Shuttle service to the airport cut off at 6 pm but they didn’t tell me I had to get my name on a list, so when I wanted the shuttle I was told there was none available. Staff were friendly and room was decently clean though the halls were drab by and not very clean. Breakfast was decent. But overall I was disappointed. Do not recommend staying there if you don’t have a vehicle as it was not easy access to anything.

The Clarion Suites was a nice stay. It is an older hotel but it was very clean. Any time we needed towels or coffee for our stay they were quick to provide. My only complaint is the shuttle. I called the day before we were arriving to book. The lady at the desk took info and said they would be there by 10:30. When we arrived and got oyr luggage, I called. Suppose to be on the way. We had to wait for an hour before he came. He did take us through a fast food to get lunch because we had a tour picking us up at the hotel at 12:15. Today we were catching the train. I talked to the lady at the desk yesterday when we came in. She told me to call back in an hour to make sure the shuttle would be available. I called and she had us down for 4 of us and our bags at 7. We were in the lobby at 7. The shuttle left with the first load and came back. Picked up another load and came back. We dod not get yo the train station until 8. Dont count on the shuttle.

The hotel is worn with stains on the carpets, smells in the elevator, dark outdated furniture. They advertise shuttle service but we were left at the train station when we arrived because "they didn't have a driver". We had to Uber and they did not offer to cover the cost. When we tried to schedule our transportation to the airport, we again heard they didn't have a driver even with 24 hours notice. They did find an asst manager to take us but you felt like a bother.

Hotel offers shuttle service but it is VERY limited. We called as our flight was coming in late to let them know. They sent a driver at the orginal time, who waited a little bit then left. When we arrived we called and no shuttle service even tho the hours said they did. We had to get a taxi (no easy here) and they did not reimburse for the taxi. Next day we asked about a shuttle to go downtown, nope no shuttle. We only got a shuttle on our last day to the airport as we arranged it and checked on it every day including the morning we were leaving. Prior to stay was sent a note about the shuttle and where they could take us (some at an extra charge which was ok) but in reality they barely have shuttle service and will not go anywhere but the airport. Hotel is dated but not horrible. Beds were comfortable. Hotel room very dry, causing a nose bleed. Extra charge for towels. Guess we should have just put the towels by the elevator like others did.

The hotel website/ hotels.com and a sign in the hotel lobby all shows there is a free 24 hr airport shuttle. Called hotel prior to boarding flight from SEA and was told to call again when flight had landed for shuttle. Called on arrival at 1am and was told that the driver didn’t show up and to take a cab or uber. Then asked if they provided a voucher and was told no…$28.00+ tip out of pocket cab fare for a hotel with free 24 hour shuttle. The breakfast was good and the beds were comfortable/clean.

The hotel is nice overall. It's old, but pretty well maintained. My room and bed were comfortable. The only issue is that I was finding somebody's hair all over the place in my room. It's not a big deal for me, but still somewhat unpleasant. So the property needs to do a better job on cleaning.

Beds not made daily and bed linen and towels not changed due to staff shortages. Rooms are only cleaned every 4 days. This wasn’t a problem for us as we only had a 2 night stay.

Pros: Clean— extremely. I wiped things down with Lysol wipes to double check and nothing was dirty. Housekeeping is extremely nice and does an amazing job of taking care of the rooms. Convenient— easy access to all of the surrounding businesses and off a main highway that connects to everywhere. Breakfast— great spread and always good tasting. Parking is easy and there are many spots to choose from. Laundry machines— so easy and convenient— on site for $2 a load to wash and $2 to dry and takes credit or debit card. Cons: Bathroom door wouldn’t shut all the way. The shower was hard to get the perfect temp, it was either hot or cold. Pressure low. Tv isn’t that great of quality or many channels. Wi-Fi— it took forever to connect to it and some devices wouldn’t connect. Rooms seems like they haven’t been updated in years but it was a good place to stay. Wish prices weren’t so high though.

Worst night sleep ever!!! Apparently there’s a clipboard stuck in between the elevator and the shaft so every time the elevator goes up it sends a rumbling banging sound to the nearby rooms over and over. I had a fan and the ac going to drown it out and it still woke me up repeatedly. Room was dated. The shower was ridiculously hard to control because the shower control had mismatched parts. Remote control to TV didn’t work until I took the corroded batteries out and put them back in. Water cooler in lobby was always empty. The free breakfast was actually the only decent part

The thermostat for the room also did nothing to control the temp, so even setting it to a comfortable sleeping temperature of 62, it was still 85 degrees in the room, so I got no sleep at all.

A tad dated and needs common area carpeting replaced which shows wear due to the extreme cold weather conditions present in Alaska. It is hard to keep common area rugs clean when people have a lot of dirt associated with snow and slush to contend with. Surprised to see that accommodations are set up for long term stays with a standard size refrigerator, a microwave, two burners, sink, and a few pots/pans m, and dishes/utensils.

I got to the hotel and the front desk lady said that I didn’t have a reservation. That the hotel had cancelled my reservation in January by Hotels.com .It took me a long time to find something in Fairbanks and it cost me twice the amount, that made it harder for me. When you need to cancel some of your other stuff what we had planned. I do not recommend this hotel for anyone.

The supervisor lady was ridiculous. She said that we would get a partial refund at check out 3 days after we checked in. The microwave barely worked, AC didn’t work, and the TV didn’t work. Never an offer to change rooms, or for another microwave, the sweet woman our last night gave us a box fan because it was 78 in our room the whole time. The lady that sits behind the desk up front doesn’t do anything she constantly says she can’t help with that the other person will have to help when they come back. The supervisor lady was a joke. She stayed at her desk behind the tinted window. Each issue we went to her about she said she would check out and get back to us. That did not happen we had to keep going back to the desk to ask for her after an hour of hearing nothing and she would pop open her tinted window and have a reason for everything. But said we would get a refund which we still have yet to receive. Employees like these are a disgrace and run businesses.

I traveled to Fairbanks for a three day conference being held at the west Mark comma, but the room rate at the Westmark was significantly higher than the Clarion suites which is literally across the street and two houses down. The Clarion property is definitely older and shows its age in many places; however, the room was very clean and very spacious. The beds were fairly comfortable, though the pillows were not. The bathroom had everything I needed, including great, hot water and shower pressure. The hotel staff were always super friendly and helpful and I really appreciate it Thim. All in all, it is a great alternative to the more common Westmark when staying in perfect.
