NORMA
Clean room, spacious, comfortable with a view of garden on ground floor. Lighting excellent.
Mary
The lack of including at least a Continental breakfast for an expensive room is a poor action. The restaurant menu is rather expensive.
maria
Very courteous front desk and bar area. Shuttles to and from the airport and train were key factors for us. Convenient and responsive. The room was very comfortable and clean.
Stephanie
The staff were amazing and the property was beautiful. I had bad experience with the pizza, undercooked, and the closest entry did not work with key card
Kayla
Great spot. You will enjoy it
Ronald
Very friendly front desk staff.
Roy
Great place to stay while in Fairbanks. Quiet location, very clean, friendly and helpful staff. Recommended.
Gary
Rooms very clean but some work can be done on the showers. Very low water pressure and water temp could not be maintained. Had to adjust often. Staff was very friendly. A really beautiful place but not sure of the other novelty sections as in the older side. Ours was fairly new and very nice.
Amber
It’s not a luxury property but none are here in Fairbanks

Alan
The staff is poorly trained and unfriendly. Do not provide maid service until the fourth day. Breakfast is not provided, but other hotels in the area do.
PETER
I've travelled worldwide and this is the first and only hotel in my experience that did not offer daily housekeeping including bed making!
Generally rather gloomy. Not many staff or patrons in evidence. Room poorly designed -- bedside lights are wall mounted, ideal for hitting one's head, with switches unreachable from the bed! Hopeless! And why would I want a microwave oven in my room?
So-called continental breakfast poor. No cold meats, cheeses or fresh fruit. Overpriced.
Shuttle service good. Receptionist helpful, but knew nothing of Fairbanks tourist attractions!

David
Great place, some of the staff were not well versed in English and was difficult to communicate but we managed.
John
Nice room. Restaurant had a good selection of items for dinner. I had the meat loaf and a Caesar salad, both very good. Excellent breakfast buffet: eggs Benedict, scrambled eggs, reindeer sausage, French toast among other items. Very good service. Would stay here again.
Harry
Beautiful facility and location. Relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely stay there again.

Everything was very great

Jonathan the bartender was exceptionall. He was like a tour guide. Preet darn good bartender as well.
Only complaint is other than the restaurant on site, there aren't any dining options close by.

Small room, fridge and coffee maker are in the bathroom, no microwave. For the cost you expect more. The room was clean and the bed comfortable.
Deborah
The Bear Lodge was perfect for us. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Gave wonderful suggestions on things to do and places to see. Breakfast buffer was nicely done. Service tops! A free shuttle to the airport was appreciated. We would definitely stay that this hotel in the future.
Abhijeet
Nice experience
Debra
Beautiful lodge. Spacious guest rooms with his in her sinks. Great lobby and delicious restaurant. Satellite TV reception is poor but when I stay here again? Absolutely.
Wayne
Expensive room with little amenities. No chair in the room to relax. My room looked out over a roof
Jeff
The room was large clean. The furniture was small and not really useable which is probably why they keep the fridge, coffee maker, cups, and ice bucket in the bathroom. The cups next to the toilet was particularly puzzling. Plenty of parking here, and location is easy to get to and from different places in town.

Such a pleasant surprise to get here and find it better than the pics & reviews. The gym is in a different building than we are staying in, but just a short walk. The room is spacious, clean & comfy. The staff is friendly and very helpful

Great property! Great staff too!
Alan
I have a special travel need, and the people working the front desk took care of what I needed quickly, and with a smile. Thanks.
Donna
I picked it because I needed a place night before flight and they had shuttles. It was OK but room had a funny smell. It was ok but didn’t have time to look.
Norma
Very nice hotel. Very comfortable beds. Friendly staff. They have a restaurant at the hotel. Driving distance from stores.
Cheri
The \"front desk manager\" Jasmin was not very professional when I told her and showed her that I woke up to bed bug bites. Stay there if you want bed bug bites and unfriendly front desk manager.

After our VBRO cancelled last minute and had issues getting a refund. We went to Bear Lodge. The staff were open and friendly and went above and beyond to welcome us last minute. Rates were reasonable. The rooms were clean and the grounds were very nice. I will recommend this hotel to anyone.
Una R
Very helpful as we stayed to join Tour Group & we were allowed to stay in the same room. Great!
Perry
Late arrival at the airport was no problem for the free shuttle pick up. 2:30 am check in was no problem either.
Breakfast was expensive but most everything is in Alaska.

Thomas
Nice, quiet stay. Too high cost.
We were not part of a tour group, so it seemed pretty quiet. We were told by a front desk clerk most of the occupants were from tour groups, explaining an empty parking lot. It was also mentioned that if you were not part of a tour group the rates are much higher. This was disappointing to hear.
Lydia
Nice hotel. Great service
Churroz
Thank you for the room. I really enjoyed it and really appreciate it.
Lynn
The person that picked us up from the airport at midnight was happy informative and went way beyond taking care of us. The room was large and pretty , best we've had so far. My only complaint would be no food, but actually that has been an ongoing problem. I love this place, I'd stay again.
Heather
Was fine
Farron
Great views
Quiet location and the sounds from the river really helped the overall ambiance.
Valerie
Had a nice stay with a very spacious room. Women at front desk seemed a bit grumpy. Did not have much interaction with staff because of covid.
stephanie
VERY SMALL ROOM
This was one of the smallest rooms I have ever stayed in. I travel with a lot of stuff and this small room really cramped my style.
Richard
A little lonely...but a great resort
Our stay was very pleasant. The hotel was clean and the staff helpful and pleasant! The Bear Lodge is part of a larger resort eith lots to do. We were here at the end of the season so there were very few people at our location and the front desk at our building was never manned so it felt weird and alone. The restaurant was closed, vending machines unplugged, no coffee, etc. Not too many restaurants within close walking distance. But we liked the resort and would stay again earlier in the season
Spring
Was not what what it
Timothy
A roof over my head
Check in process was slow. Communication about what to expect during my stay was not there. No cleaning of room during stay. Bathroom and room was not as clean as I would have liked upon arrival. Was relatively quiet overall.
Srinivas
Understaffed and therefore no reception facility. Wish this was made clear as part of standard instructions.
Glenn
Had to wait 1 hour after check in time for room to be ready.
Verified traveler
Arrived at 4:15 pm for check-in. My room wasn’t ready and they said they would call me after about 30 minutes. When I finally got my room, the key cards did not work so I had to return to the front desk which then had about 10 parties in line awaiting check-in. Finally got in my room at 5:20 pm.

The hotel is part of a convention center. Due to Covid, this isn’t much staff. There was no one at the front desk. You had to go to the building next door to check in. The restaurant also wasn’t operating. The room was nice. The towels were thin.

Nice room and grounds. BUT DO NOT STAY HERE. General Manager, Front Desk Manager or Clerk WERE NOT AVAILABLE. Housekeeping only offered once every 4 days according to maid; no one makes the bed, empties the garbage(s), nor do used towels get replaced each day. Shuttle driver had a full load when we arrived at 1am. He said that he \"was only going to the Bear Lodge and would be right back to get us\" and others who were left behind on the curb. About 1hr later, he returned from the 8 mile drive (16 mile round trip) to the \"resort\" and back. We called and got a front desk clerk at 1am. The clerk said we could \"take a cab if we didn't want to wait.\" Then, from another guest who had called, we are told \"the driver had other things to do\" instead of coming right back. What \"things\" would those be for a shuttle driver at 1am while ostensibly \"on the clock\" and being paid to serve arriving guests? Then to find out that our approx $200/nite room doesn't come with housekeeping from a maid in a hallway the next afternoon. Do you think that the GM/Front Desk mgr(s) were \"ducking\" and that's why they were never there to take our complaints? Do you think that if the \"resort\" is short staffed that the GM ought to be at the front desk and cleaning rooms? Don't want to hear the \"Covid\" excuse when GM is too lazy to work. GM could have been handing out towels, in-room coffee, retrieving trash, issuing credits. No credits offered. Expedia won't credit either. No more Expedia bookings by us.

Love Bear Lodge. Room spacious, organization of room and furniture made this stay one of the best we have had. We give it a 5 rating. Staff helpful. Location near everything we planned to visit. Highly recommend.

The breakfast bar was just coffee and packaged muffins. Not too tasty but they are just getting it back from covid. Very clean and comfortable room. Beds are really comfy. They have a shuttle from the airport. Would stay here again if I ever get back to Fairbanks.

Could you use English instead? Anyway, we are very satisfied with your hotel especially the room was spacing, clean and comfortable.

I’ve traveled a lot and stayed in many places around the world, but Bear Lodge was probably the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The amenities were great, the room was spacious, the furniture was comfortable and I felt like I was at home. I liked the view, the balcony, and the temperature controls. The staff was very helpful and friendly. It was also very clean. The room also comes with a refrigerator.

I liked everything about the property. The rooms are well appointed. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The grounds are very well kept and there are interesting things for the guests to do.
Hank
What I disliked about the property was that the price that NCL paid did not include breakfast we either had to pay the high price from your restaurant or go without because transportation was not available in the morning, The staff said the owners are very cheap in this regard, for this reason it would keep me from recommending this place !
