I stayed at Golden North for a couple weeks this spring and planned another business stay this November, which I had to postpone. For the price, this motel offers the best in accommodations in Fairbanks, which is notoriously expensive for travelers. Extended stay price breaks are much appreciated, as is the wireless network, all day coffee service and on-site ownership... more

I was in Fairbanks in July and stayed at the Golden North. This was not the first time I stayed there and it will not be my last. The staff treats the guests great and will bend over backwards to serve you. I live in Alaska and when I am staying overnight in Fairbanks, this is where I stay. Very... more

I have stayed here many times on trips to Fairbanks for supplies. This is a good place to stay for those on a budget. The motel is old but clean with basic ammenities. If you need WiFi, be sure to ask for a room with good reception. The motel is owned and run by a friendly family, and they bend... more

I have been going to this hotel for many years. I have met the owners several time and they are so friendly. We live in Tok, Alaska and when we have doctor appointments and shopping and other things that we need to get done we always stay here. They are not as fancy as some of the other hotels but... more

Website is totally misleading, proving that anyone can create an appealing website. Hotel is terrible - small rooms and totally indifferent management to the guest. Despite email reservation and travel information provided, hotel cancelled my reservation, without attempting to contact me. Not an issue, unless like us, we were arriving at 1:35 in the morning, and one guest from Europe.... more

We stayed here the night before our flight out of Fairbanks going home after two weeks touring Alaska. A great value and very convenient to the airport. Clean large rooms - nothing fancy however good service and friendly folks running the place. They even provided me with free freezer space to store two Igloos of fish filets overnight. more

These guys are scam artists- do not give them your credit card. Pay with cash. They will charge your card for damages. This is a crappy run down hotel. Some home they alleged we damaged the marble in the restroom. more

This motel is old and not very clean. Linens were very old and didn't seem very clean. Just an old motel in general. Across the road from a dance club. The staff was very friendly, but I would not stay here again. more

Several people in Eagle, AK recommended the Golden North as a place where Alaskans stayed, not tour groups. It is that. The prices are very reasonable, the rooms, while small, are very clean and well-maintained. And remember, you're visiting Fairbanks and Alaska to enjoy the pleasures of both, not to sit in your motel room. The Baer family who own... more

It was my first time visiting Alaska and the hospitality and warmth of the family that owns it is something to remember. The owners definitely give you the feel that they treat it more like a bed and breakfast than a motel. They genuinely enjoy their guests and their sincerity shines in everything they do during your entire stay you... more
