We had a nice stay at the Fairbanks Princess Riverside Lodge. Here is our rundown... Rooms: The rooms were sufficient -- comfortable enough and supplied with all necessary amenities. Beds were comfortable and views (especially rooms looking out onto the river) were very nice. No problems in terms of noise in the hallways at night or anything. Overall the rooms... more

We arrived here after a *really* long day of traveling. It was 11:30pm and the sun was shining! Also, it was 80 degrees! In Alaska! Now that was a pleasant surprise. I really liked this hotel. It's right on the river, and away from Fairbanks, so it's quiet and serene. Our room had a great view of the river and... more

We spent two nights here while waiting for rooms to open up at the Pike Lodge next door. It was the beginning of a marvelous land/cruise tour of Alaska with our two twelve year-old grandchildren. Their reaction best describes our accommodations when they commented that it "looks just like The Great Wolf Lodge, only the real thing". It was a... more

We stayed only one night, with arrangements made by a local friend. Probably in a small minority of guests who were not part of a cruise or other tour package. The room was fine, your typical up-to-date mid-range hotel room. It was clean. There was a nice view of the river (even numbered rooms). Did not attempt internet access or... more

Stayed for one night in May 2007. Part of Princess cruise/land package. No problems with room. Bed comfortable, bathroom OK. Since it was rather late, ate in bar. Food was mediocre, service patchy. Lobby was pleasant with log fire. Hotel is beside river with river walk. However, looked rather forlorn with all flower tubs empty and some filled with garbage... more

....for 3 days, and they needed to get a part from the lower 48. I know sometimes this can't be avoided, but as I was there for business, it was highly inconvenient. The front desk staff was unapologetic about it, but the drivers were helpful when they could be (shuttle service into town//airports/northern lights wake up calls). Huge bed, great... more

We attended the Master Gardener Conf at the hotel. Great rate of $ 69 (conf rate), internet rate is $ 89 on Princess site. The interior of the public areas was very nice, fire places burning, internet is free in lobby and public areas. Gym has much equipment and a steam room. Our room faced the Chena River, about 200... more

I really thought this was an excellent hotel. I really enjoyed my stay, especially compared to the Westmark (also in Fairbanks). My River Lodge room was nicely decorated and the bathroom had beautiful tile. The employees at the front desk were friendly and helpful. I stayed during the Fairbanks Ice Sculpture Contest and it was hard to get a taxi.... more

I really didn't like this hotel. I stayed there while on tour with Princess Cruises. Maybe because we were a tour with a lot of people, they put us in a horrible, old, dark room. Quite unpleasant for my taste. more
