Abbey Archway Inn

Parking was limited. Room was several blocks from the breakfast area. We never got any room service. We had to ask for coffee, creamer, and sugar.

Building was pretty, room was more spacious than I anticipated. Checking in was a little strange as there didn't seem to be a conventional front office area. My room was in a separate building around a five minute drive away which was odd as well. Room was clean for the most part.

I liked having a ground floor room. It also had a kitchenette that I wasn’t expecting. Room was clean. The walls are thin, you can hear every door opening and people thumping their luggage down the stairs. A negative would be not having an elevator for the guests.

The check-in off property is cumbersome and a bit unusual.

Run down breakfast is scrambled eggs waffles and cereal. Climb stairs to 2nd floor to check in and eat. Full size older refrigerator with older compressor that makes lots of noise every 30 minutes. Lots more bad stuff. Will never stay there again. Check yelp reviews on this one

Overall it was good and I’d likely stay again. The folks at check in were very kind and gave me some great pointers for things to do and see in the area. Check in was smooth! I was in a building with no elevator and I was on the 3rd floor which was awkward with a suitcase. The room was large, but it had little usable space e.g: only a sliver of a countertop in the kitchen and only a small round table that was supposed to be the desk and the dining table. No real comfortable place to sit and relax other than the bed and the regular rolling dining chair that didn’t roll very well. The heater worked GREAT! The hot water and shower water pressure was AWESOME! I was never cold. I love that it had a full kitchen and full size fridge/freezer so I could make my own meals.

Nice place, quiet good parking, nice owner.

The room is roomy and comfortable. It has more space than my first studio apartment. We were on the third floor so the perpetually broken elevator was a minus. The place is split up into various buildings. Ours was an 11 minute walk to breakfast. We used the 5 food trucks in the adjacent parking lot instead. It was a decent quiet (other than the highway) residential area. Uber guys can find it. The staff was helpful if a bit distracted by all the other activities.

The property had several sites.It was a little confusing knowing where my room could be found.

Be aware: there are several separate buildings associated with this hotel, located far apart. We were dropped off at reception and, after checking in, had to get a second taxi to get to our room for the night. Also, half the towels in our bathroom were HEAVILY stained.

The kitchen wasn’t cleaned properly, the balcony light didn’t work, the side of the tub was off and all the wires were exposed and the hall lights only worked half the time. Overall I would not recommend this place not only based on that but the room I paid for was not what was advertised in the pictures.

Room was very clean and comfortable. The building are true Alaskan.

Clean and quaint.

Rooms were clean.

This is the first time we have stayed at Abbey Archway Inn. It was very clean and comfortable. I have mobility issues, so the roll-in shower was a blessing. We were very happy with the room and vicinity of the hotel. The lady who checked in my husband was very nice. We will stay here again.

First room was in the basement with non fuctioning shower and daughter found meth perrifinalia. Got new room and so much better.

When I arrived, the private bathroom that was for my room was not actually in my room - I had to go out into the main hallway and down some stairs to get to it. When I went into the bathroom the first time, it hadn't been cleaned since the last person used it. (To their credit, the bathroom was cleaned as soon as I pointed that out.) Also, the hair dryer plug was coming apart and did not look safe to use. The TV didn’t always work, and the room did not have its own thermostat, so there was no way to turn down the heat. The bed was squeaky every time I moved, and I could feel the springs in it, so I couldn't sleep. I also had to haul my 45-lb suitcase up stairs to the third floor, which was rather difficult! But there was a fan to use, a fridge and a microwave in the room, which was handy, and breakfast was decent.

Very clean and comfortable!

There was a big wet stain in the middle of the quilt on the day of check in, which was disgusting.

The owner is very polite and she let us check in an hour early. Room was nice kitchenette and jetted tub. People in other rooms quiet, peaceful stay at Christmas. Would highly recommend to others.

They pulled the old bait and switch by promising a studio with a queen bed, while giving me a room with two twin beds and a bathroom down the stairs from me. The bathroom was tiny and I wouldn't take a shower in it. This is the hotel of many stairs, no elevator. Just a bad experience overall.

Clean room. Dated from 80s era. Loved it was awesome place to stay

The room was more than I expected. Full kitchen and roomy spaces. Checked in at 1:30 am with no problems. Enjoyable stay.

Terrible internet

And unusual, but very Charming place. I'll be honest, I thought the place was a little bit sketchy when I first went to go check in, but despite the unusual nature of the property, the rooms are large, comfortable, and I had an outstandingly Pleasant stay. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Very nice apartment.

Awesome room Very kind staff that answered any questions I had

Really nice people. Accommodating. Nice warm homey feel.

We had a reservation for one night. We received a confirmation and our credit card was charged. Our flight was originally scheduled to land at Fairbanks airport at midnight but the airline changed our itinerary and told us we would not land until 1:00 a.m. We contacted the office at the Abbey Archwood Inn and the person we spoke to assured us that would not be a problem. She told us to call when we arrived and she would check us in. She even told us she had checked someone in at 3:30 a.m. the night before. We arrived at the Abbey Archwood Inn and called them at 1:46 a.m. The gentlemen who answered the phone said he did not have a reservation in our name. He did tell us that he had a room available but it would cost $200 -- which was four times what we initially paid. We contacted Expedia, who tried to call but he refused to answer the telephone. We would like a refund because we paid for this room but when we arrived at the Abbey Archwood Inn they claimed they had no reservation in our name. We offered to show the man our confirmation from Expedia showing we had the reservation and had already paid for the room. He refused to look at the confirmation. As a result of his behavior, we ended up trying to sleep in our car -- after traveling for over 15 hours.

The check-in off property is cumbersome and a bit unusual.

“Off the beaten path.” Checking in at one location and cabbing it to another isn’t my preference, but I can deal with it. Water pressure is excellent. Kitchenette saves me money, over the long run. The only thing that’s missing is local TV. This is more of an efficiency than a touristy hotel experience. I like quiet, clean, and quaint…and the owners are nice people.

The owner was delightful. We arrived late due to a flight delay and since our Uber driver left for another fare she gave us a ride to our room, which was a half mile away at a separate property. Also the breakfast was fabulous with many homemade items. The property was clean and comfortable.

My fiancé and I stayed here and they are awesome. Very flexible with ck out. Sweet young lady in the office and then on Saturday sweet old lady. Great stay especially for the stay.

I have stayed at the Abbey, several times over the last 5-7 years, all have been very satisfactory. I like the cozy Alaskana feel, and appreciate the thought that went into the initial construction and d3sign of the buildings. Very quiet, and conveniently located(I have always driven). The hospitality provided is excellent, friendly staff and owners top it off. This location is my go to in Fairbanks.

Confusion re:checkin

It was a nice place off the highway so it was very quiet

It was very quiet and enjoyable. Thank you.

I joyed the local community, and being able to get to every place I wanted to go with ease

Great location and owner management!

This property was hard to locate, especially at nighttime.

Parking was limited. Room was several blocks from the breakfast area. We never got any room service. We had to ask for coffee, creamer, and sugar.

Pros: It was clean, fairly easy to get to. The reception personal was nice, checked me in pretty late and drove me to the property where my room was. Cons: Didn't have the breakfast that supposed to be included even thou I asked on check in whrre should I go for breakfast. And the people staying next door to my room were extremely loud. There alarm was going off at 5:30am for over 30 minutes. Overall i would stay there again if/when I'm back and hopefully the people next door won't be the same.

Breakfast is available, but 20 minutes walk in cold snowy weather to get there.
