Fairbanks Extended Stay

Roundtrip non-stop flight included

Dallas (DFW) to Fairbanks (FAI)

6.8/10 (180 reviews)

The “suite” was roomy. Things were not up to date—facets in bathroom and kitchen need to be replaced. Refrigerator needs to be replaced—nothing could be put on the door as the plastic retainers were all broken. You have to be able to climb stairs (which wasn’t a problem for us). There was a flight of stairs to the office, to our unit, and to the breakfast area. The free breakfast was good.

7.2/10 Good! (469 reviews)

Very convenient for a one night stay before cruise. Watch out for those gables in the rooms above the bed, very low and dangerous for your forehead. Breakfast was exceptional.

Played golf at the excellent golf course. Only downside of this process was that it took standing in line for an hour to get a visitor pass.
