Gabriela B.:” We stayed at Fairbanks Princess Riverside Lodge and its good.”

Fairbanks was founded by miners consumed with the gold fever that swept Alaska at the turn of the century. As the gateway to Alaska’s rugged interior, Fairbanks is where the real Alaska begins — the Alaska of the Northern Lights and the Midnight Sun. Here, at the edge of Alaska’s vast wilderness frontier, is a haven of warm service and exceptional comfort — the Fairbanks Princess Riverside Lodge.

Alaska - Fairbanks
Jenna C.:” The staff is top-notch! We arrived for our pre-cruise vacation a couple of days early to get some extra excursions in and spend some additional time in Alaska. We were greeted at the airport by a very friendly shuttle van driver and then again at the hotel we were very impressed by the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. The rooms are nothing to write home about but they are clean and comfortable and they include a kitchen (a HUGE plus when you didn’t budget for $15 lunches and $20-$25 dinners every night). The complimentary shuttle was an unexpected plus. It takes you all over Fairbanks and has some really fun stops. As part of our pre-cruise vacation, it was a wonderful starting point.“
Bonnie L.:” We stayed at Sophie Station Suites twice. Can recommend it.
Paula S.:” We stayed at Sophie Station. Very nice hotel.”
Offering lodging for both business and leisure travelers, Sophie Station Suites is truly a Fairbanks favorite. Locally owned and operated, our hotel captures the essence of the Fairbanks experience and provides guests with a level of personalized service, style, and comfort unparalleled in the Golden Heart City.
They are ideally located close to the University of Alaska Fairbanks and great shopping and offer quick complimentary shuttle service to Fairbanks International Airport and Alaska Railroad Depot for arriving and departing guests.
