At Hotel North Pole, guests consistently highlight very friendly, helpful staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and a convenient, often quiet location near restaurants, attractions, and highways, making it an easy base for visiting North Pole and Fairbanks.

Feedback on the complimentary breakfast is mixed, ranging from very good and well stocked to minimal or underwhelming with missing items or equipment issues.

This is a clean and relatively new hotel. It is nicely decorated and furnished. However, there is not much to do in North Pole other than to see the Santa statue and shop. We did eat at a DD&D restaurant which was excellent.

Undergoing some updating which is needed. Breakfast was subpar, but mainly because there were so few guest due to renovations happening. Had there been more guest staying there They would’ve had better service, attendance and quality of food. But that all being said, I would stay there again with no problem.

We enjoyed our stay at the Hotel. The room was very nice and clean.Very nice breakfast also. The only thing I would like to see improved on is most people associate the North Pole with Christmas so we thought the lobby area would be decorated and overwhelm us, but it was decorated in Halloween.

The staff is very rude and for a hotel that is pet friendly it is very inconvenient that I was told if I leave the building I cant leave my pet in a kennel. I cannot take my peta to conference meetings so staying at this place was pointless

Clean hotel, convenient to food and groceries, it’s undeniably overpriced but there aren’t many options in the area. Very clean and the staff is extraordinarily kind. It’s my go-to spot for business trips to Moose Creek.

Rooms are clean, but the walls are thin with lots of noise from adjoining rooms. Staff was friendly, but understaffed to a point where rooms are only cleaned every other day. Breakfast was underwhelming with many items missing. Great views of Pizza Hut and Safeway Shopping center. Over priced and not ready for prime time.

Not a bad place. Price is horrendous for what you get, but for the Fairbanks area it’s not excessive, not when average chain hotels cost more than a five star somewhere else. Room comfort a little lacking but not terrible. Breakfast is decent.

Hotel was too costly for the value. The “continental breakfast” was the worst we have ever expeienced, so much that we left to eat elsewhere. Poor choices, waffle makers did not seem to function, all items were very small
