Detailed Reviews
Utqiagvik (Barrow) is an amazingly surprising and most wonderful place that my wife and I had the privilege and pleasure to visit at the best time of the year, i.e. January 22-24, when the sun first appears over the horizon after a slumber of more than two months. Our visit was enhanced by a great margin because we had the pleasure and privilege of staying at the amazingly surprising and most wonderful Airport Inn, managed by equally amazing and wonderful gentleman Andrew.
Airport Inn is a small and totally warm (literally and figuratively) place to stay. The manager and owner Andrew is a most friendly, hospitable, kind and knowledgable gentleman who has amazing stories and huge knowledge about the town, and the Arctic in general, and he is generous to share his knowledge and stories with his guests. He is super helpful and a delight to listen to. He keeps a pristine and very well equipped hotel where one feels completely at home and very comfortable. The hotel is perfectly located, three minute walk from the airport and 15-20 minute walk to just about everywhere in town. And what a town it is! Absolutely spectacular with people who are probably the most friendly and interesting anywhere south of the North Pole!

I stayed at the Airport Inn back in 2019. It was a fun stay and the owner made the experience really good.
Sadly, the Airport Inn has been sold and the Grant family has moved on. I believe I speak for everyone that had a great adventure to the top of the world when I say thanks and all the best Andrew!

We travelled from Sydney, Australia twice with friends…….7 the first time, 6 the second. Such an inviting, cosy stay. Roma’s comfy, hosts amazing. Very sad that Andrew has gone. We were planning another visit next year. Thank you for making our time in Barrow so special. We will miss you.

just got back from barrow/fairbanks. (6/7/03) to be fair about airport inn....the manager did warn me to select another place in town, which would be a lot nicer. i opted for airport inn since the price savings were considerable...as i was going to be there for a week. i did regret my decision later. if cleanliness means a lot to you then do not stay at airport inn. there was no regular maid service...the manager claimed the service lady had to leave for family emergency. i thought that to be an excuse because an old place like airport inn must surely have a few alternate names handy for such situations. secondly, if you are there with a family you may want to have a kitchenett room. even though they claim..."free continental breakfast" you may find yourself with a cereal box with no milk to add in it or watered down juice which tastes neither like water or juice!!!!! lastly, if you do not go too late you will be lucky enough to taste a slice of machine made bread with plenty of condiments to put on it. i left before the week was over but had i chosen a better place i think i would have stayed the entire length of time because i did enjoy barrow and missed my daily walks around town.

With my work, I live in hotels about 300 days a year. The Airport Inn in Barrow has to rank as my #1 favorite hotel, all across the United States. It is clean and quiet, and the managers are both respectful and highly accomodating to the occasional unusual needs of a long-term guest. There is cable TV, phone, free wireless internet service, the fridges are larger than any I've found in any Marriott anywhere, the hot water is hot and plentiful and the shower is to-die-for lucious. Are you missing a specialty pan in order to cook a specific dish? Just ask! There is nothing snooty or nose-in-the-air about this place, it is a down-home warm and peaceful place to stay. If you're looking for a Marriott or a Ramada or a Hilton, go to the city. If you're looking for a decent and friendly place from which to experience the wonders and magic of Barrow, then the Airport Inn is where you'll want to call your home away from home.

I've wanted to go to Barrow and Alaska ever since I can remember. This summer I finally made it. I stayed at the Airport Inn. Barrow was so cool! I loved it.... We stayed overnight at The Airport Inn. It was comfortable quiet, and the hosts were more than accomodating. Room was clean. The staff was great. Its easy to get around in Barrow,and just about anyone will help you if you ask. I found Barrow, if not the best part of my trip ( I did a cruise afterwards) certainly in the top 5%. I wanna go back. I will go back and I wouldn't think twice about staying at the Airport Inn... Thanx!!!

We just returned from our second 2-night stay at the Airport Inn, having last visited in June 2010. It was nice to return to a familiar place, with clean, warm rooms and friendly service. The hotel is convenient, but I suppose any hotel in Barrow would be in the winter, since people seem to travel by cabs a lot when the weather is frigid. (BTW cab rates are $5 within old Barrow, $6 to "new" Barrow/Browerville, and a bit more out to BASC). There were lots of breakfast choices and the hotel was quiet, with few other guests the weekend we were there. We particularly appreciated the owner's generosity in letting us use our room on our last day, since our flight didn't depart until nearly 7pm. Thank you Airport Inn!

This hotel is fabaulous as hotels go in Barrow. There is a fridge in the room and a sumptuos shower, as well as a cable tv and a phone. This is pretty much the norm in Barrow. The hosts are accommodating, and there is coffee and fresh baked bread each morning. I highly recommend this place of nesting if you desire privacy and courteous respect.
While there is no in house restaurant, there are many delivery restaurants in town from asian to pizza;or you can walk to Ken's Restaurant across the street. They also have a shuttle service to the local airpots. I highly recommend this hotel, as I use it quite regularly.

Very pleased. The room was clean, the beds were comfortable and we appreciated the small refrigerator and microwave in the room. The commons area was where the continental breakfast was served. Coffee was on most of the time and hot water for tea was available 24/7. We ran into difficulty with a booked side trip. The operator cancelled and didn't inform us that he wouldn't be taking us out on our booked tour. They (the desk clerks) tried to find someone else to take us out and make the most of our trip. They even allowed us a late checkout so we were free to stay at the inn closer to our scheduled departure time. The airport is only 1 block away - walking distance. I would strongly recommend staying here. As I stated, neat and clean and definiatly a great value.

Andrew, the Inn keeper is great! He does offer tours. I paid $160 for 1 night. The breakfast featured home made sourdough bread. You should contact Andrew directly. Alaska is part of the US so it's not an international phone call. I would definitely return. Johnny
Thank you for checking about pets. We do not allow pets in the guest rooms.
