Fairbanks Extended Stay

Was not what we were expecting. Was off the beaten path. There was a lot of work in progress but when the owner is finished think it will be very nice. Needs to fix the elevator. We enjoyed our time spent there.

On arrival, staff was disorganized. Office place was the same. We were sent to another property about 1/4 mile away. Exterior of building was a shambles. Electrical boxes without covers. Gardens unkept. Front door deadbolt was broken (no security whatsoever.) I asked about security and the young staff person stated "There are cameras." Anyone could walk into the building at any hour. Elevator was out of service. They booked me on the third floor even though very few people were staying at either of the two buildings. I'm nearly 70. They booked by traveling friends on the third floor as well. They were both in their mid-80s. Very difficult for them to navigate three flights of stairs without elevator. Their neighboring wall could not shelter from the sound of neighbors who partied all night long. Staff person insisted that breakfast was part of the room rental. They did not say where or when. It certainly was not in our building. We're guessing that the food was provided in the building where we checked in but it was 1/4 mile away. Trash and taps (maybe a homeless camp) spilled around the ground behind the buildings. There's more to talk about but it's enough to say that this place is not up to code, exterior and security is awful. Firewood ashes were piled up next to the "patio" area. I've attached a photograph of my view from one of the windows. This place should be shut down until it passes inspection(s.)

We got what we paid for. The floor needed cleaning. We had the ‘Do not disturb’ sign on our door and were resting midafternoon when the housekeeper opened our door. She did not announce herself as they usually do, she just opened the door.

Was not what I expected at all. The place was run down, no security (outside doors did not lock), no staff on site, Elevators did not work, no ice machine, bed was terrible, water did not drain in the shower correctly - leaving the bathroom floor with standing water after a shower, etc, etc. Only one handicap parking space and no enforcement to it's use. (I could go on forever!)

Note that the check in location might not be where your room is. In my case, mine was a couple blocks away and walkable, so it was no big deal. The room was clean, but the bathroom was not the best - the way the shower was got water everywhere and I felt like I should’ve brought shower shoes. The staff were friendly enough. I was told to call to say when I’ll check-in and was dismissed quickly when I did so. Same with check out. The garden outside of the property is gorgeous.

Under bed and chairs dirty bathroom vent not working food in cupboard water presser not very good TV was not good buffered alot

Owner-mgr found a good suite. Some confusion in correspondence which was Expedia’s fault, according to the owner. Old place, needs work in bath especially. Rather expensive for the condition. But, it worked well for us.

Room was clean and well Maintained, area was quiet and very peaceful. I particularly enjoyed having a actual dining table to eat my copious amount of Chinese food that I doordashed

Great place for extended stays, great price too! Everything you need is there, kitchen items bathroom stuff, iron and board. Friendly staff
