Golden North Inn draws frequent praise for its friendly, accommodating staff and budget value, with many guests noting basic comfort in an older, no-frills property conveniently located near the airport and local shopping.
Rooms are generally small and somewhat dated, but beds are widely described as comfortable and overall cleanliness is praised. The grab-and-go breakfast offers a broad selection, though seating is limited and some miss hot items. The airport shuttle is a helpful feature, yet a few reviews report missed or delayed pickups and occasional scheduling mix-ups. Expect a simple, budget-friendly stay close to the airport.

Quiet, clean, no frills, family owned and run motel. We got in very late /early in the morning after flying since the previous morning. I was delighted to find a gentleman still up at the desk, ready to check us in. The area was very quiet, and we didn’t hear anyone in any surrounding rooms. The bathroom counter needs some cosmetic attention (raw wood on parts of the countertop, no plug on the drain). Nothing to keep us from staying at this hotel again I. The future though.

I booked this motel in great part because of courtesy shuttle to airport since we had to return rental car day before departure. I arranged with the manager for 7 AM shuttle and we asked for a wake up call. The clerk in the morning had no record that we needed the shuttle and said the driver isn't due til 7 and he's usually late. This forced us to call for taxi and pay for it. I was not happy! Property is clean but the room was cramped-bed pushed clear to wall on one side. The air conditioner had apparently been stolen by a guest prior to us and their housekeeping staff apparently didn't notice it was gone! They had to come in and install a new one after we checked in. the experience was more like an $80 Motel 6 than a $200 a night motel.

The Inn was exactly what it advertises itself to be. It was close to the airport with a shuttle. The rooms and exterior areas were clean. The entire staff was a pleasure to interact with. The grab and go breakfast had a wide variety of items to choose from and was regularly replenished. I visited multiple times for coffee!

We were not picked up at the airport as promised. When we arrived via Uber, we had to carry our heavy bags up the stairs because there was no elevator to the second floor. I am 68 years old, and my wife has a bad left knee. We requested help and asked for a room on the first floor, but we were simply told, "We are sorry." I also requested a refund, but it was denied. This place is terrible, and I would not recommend it to anyone.

The front desk has someone there 24 hours. The shuttle service was great. Picked us up at the airport at 3 in the morning, took us back to airport to pick up rental car in the morning. On Saturday evening picked us up at airport again after turning the rental vehicle in to bring us back to motel and then took us to the train in the morning.

Really excellent choice if you need a day or two in Fairbanks on a budget. Check-in was really easy, staff was very patient and helpful. Cameron in particular was outstanding. Breakfast was good. It was your basic Continental affair. All the fruit looked in good shape, cold items were cold; the only downside was there was no cream cheese or butter for their bagels. :( Rooms were very clean, and were pleasantly surprisingly spacious particularly for the cost. Doors open to the outside, so I might request a top floor if I have the freedom to be picky. The hotel itself is tucked away a little, which is nice. It has really easy access to the airport though, and is right down the street from a grocery store.

The staff was pleasant, shuttle service quick. The 1st room reeked of cigarette smoke, luckily there was another room and they moved us. The carpeting is dirty, my socks were gray on the bottom. You can here everything - luckily I have a white noise app on my phone. When I booked it the hotel was at a 8+ rating, but when I looked it up again it was down to 7+. You can walk to Fred Meyer from hotel, however a regular guest told us to be careful. The adjacent buildings were all fenced in. This place is over priced for what you get.

Staff was friendly. Check in was quick and easy. Room was nice and spacious. Clean. Good water pressure. Always had hot water. Beds comfortable. Fluffy pillows. 2 down sides. #1 if you use their shuttle service don’t expect them to open any doors or help with your luggage. Your on your own, so be able to lift your own stuff. #2 was the room smell. It was a little musty. But considering it’s Alaska things are probably always a bit on the moist side so that is what the smell was like for me. Not unbearable but noticeable. It’s convenient to the airport and train station but an expensive uber ride into down town. Expect about $25-30 each way with tip.

We needed to make a last minute booking due to cancelled flight in the middle of the night; Carlos was at the airport to pick us up within 15 minutes of our booking, and we got upgraded room as well. For a "breakfast in the lobby" the abundance, variety, and healthy options was incredible. Although the Inn is older, would recommend due to cleanliness, and service.

One of my main concerns, even before I arrived, was that they would be able to get me to the airport by 4:30 AM. I was assured, via message, even before my arrival, that they would accommodate that and pay for it. When I got to the main desk in the morning, there was nothing set up, even though I had confirmed with them on check-in that I needed the ride. Thankfully, the gentleman running the desk that morning was able to arrange a ride. In addition, consider this one of your last options based on the quality of the property.

Very close to the airport( you can see it) so was convenient but noisy. Older motel very clean but could use some renovation. Nice customer service!

Really friendly staff and spacious room. Close to the airport and grocery stores. Most tours offer pick up here. I do recommend renting a car. If you stay in the first floor, the second floor may be loud.

Very conveniently located across the north end of airport runway. Older but well maintained 2 story building. Entire staff very friendly & accommodating to help suggest where to visit & dine in Fairbanks. Rooms all remodeled & very clean. Would not hesitate to return to the same Inn again!

The staff was fantastic and very accommodating! The location is close to the airport and just a short walk to a Fred Myers. The continental breakfast was plentiful, however the water for tea & hot choc was not hot enough. The room and bathroom were very clean but the sleeping area was way too small for the price of over $200.

Spacious room with couch and work table. Comfortable beds. Good location. No eggs, bacon, butter for breakfast. Insufficient toasters. No emptying of garbage cans in the room.

We needed to make a last minute booking due to cancelled flight in the middle of the night; Carlos was at the airport to pick us up within 15 minutes of our booking, and we got upgraded room as well. For a "breakfast in the lobby" the abundance, variety, and healthy options was incredible. Although the Inn is older, would recommend due to cleanliness, and service.

The Inn was exactly what it advertises itself to be. It was close to the airport with a shuttle. The rooms and exterior areas were clean. The entire staff was a pleasure to interact with. The grab and go breakfast had a wide variety of items to choose from and was regularly replenished. I visited multiple times for coffee!

Clean, friendly place, everyone is accommodating and friendly—lots of breakfast choices. Shuttling to and fro is a breeze with friendly drivers. When I need to come to Fairbanks, Golden North Inn is my first choice.

The staff has been friendly and accommodating regarding information we needed and helpfulness. Breakfast has been good although we wish there was breakfast meat available for the added protein.

Clean motel with basic amenities and friendly staff. We stayed in a comfort queen room which was quite snug, Esp. Considering it was larger than the basic room in which our friend stayed. My husband had to move the bed away from the wall n put a trash can upside down to accommodate my cpap. He had a side table for his but i did not. The Breakfast room was the lobby and only had 3 chairs. The breakfast offerings were decent, nothing hot. No way to make coffee in the room. However the coffee in the lobby was very good. We paid $161 for our room. It was ok for a night by the airport, but we would not stay there longer.

Sewage smell came up through the bathtub drain. I covered the bathtub drain with a Clorox wipe and it reduced sewer smell.

While the two rooms were clean, they were small and underwhelming at first glance. However, all of us agreed that the beds were ultra comfy! The airport transit was very prompt and reliable. The breakfast buffet was compact, the contained the perfect variety of high-quality products to satisfy all. There isn’t really a dining area, but we all enjoyed hanging out on the few barstools while we ate breakfast and received local recommendations from the very helpful Front Desk clerk. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who needs an airport stay.
