For the price per night I would expect a little nicer of a property. Its clean, but a little run down. Staff is ok- not mean- but not really professional. Food is gross.

Never Again! I used to like staying here. However this past trip, I was put on the same floor as a firefighter crew and they made a lot of noise and heard doors slamming all night til I got up at 6am. I had called the front desk at midnight who didn’t even attempt to quiet them down. The morning staff came up and she told one of the guys that they need to keep it down cause of complaints, so I know I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t sleep. For the price I paid, I should’ve spent a little more to get a quieter or nicer hotel!

Could've been a great stay

When we got into our room it was 80 degrees. Despite turning on the fan, it kept blowing hot air. We told the front desk, got a fan and said the engineer would come to look at it. So, we opened the window as a solution.

It was just okay

The room itself was pretty clean. However the light was out inside the bathroom where the toilet and shower are, so we had to leave the door open in order to see. The smoke detector (or co2 not sure) was hanging off the wall and the curtain rods were crooked like they had been pulled too hard so they didn’t shut tightly. It seems like hotels these days should offer smart tv options, not just basic cable.

Without checking the proper check out date the house cleaning manager threw out the foods and drinks kept in the refrigerator, took my suitcases and kept it down . The lady did not bother to get the correct room number. Em 201 was supposed to be cleaned and inspite of the cleaning boy telling her this is not the correct room she messed up. Threw all the laundry clothes along with new clothes

When I spoke to her she just said sorry but did not really care. I raised the issue with duty manager on 6/3/2024 in afternoon and he dismissed it as something it normallly happens

First the house keeping manager need to check the log book properly
If other people are telling her that she is not correct she had thame arrogance not to listen
The manager dismissed it being something that happens all the time
I have been living in USA as a citizen for more than quarter century and nowhere it has happened except at this best western at Chena River lodge on 1255 TVSA pkwy Fairbanks Alaska
The banger also threatened me to throw out of property as I spoke in a raised tone
Obviously any one would be upset if their belongings are touched without permission when they are still in the room

The manger’s unfit to do his job if he cannot educate his staff and manage them properly
I filed a complaint through corporate for best western and they said the general manager would contact or the property owner
None had contacted me so far

Such is the service. Very poor experience

Staff was excellent, friendly, always helpful. Breakfast was wonderful every day. The location was great for its proximity to the airport and other means of transportation.
The hotel is due for a 'face lift' though it was perfectly good for our stay, save the notes below. I would be fine to stay again without a second thought.
Consider before you book: no airport shuttle services.
If you are willing and able to haul yourself and your bags up to the 2nd or 3rd floor .... you're great. However, if that isn't you; do one of 2 things. Either make certain you have a ground floor room OR book elsewhere. The elevator stopped working several times during our 5 day stay. It was an issue that canceled our Aurora viewing plans for that evening.
Upon arriving, we found that our bathroom had not been fully cleaned. We took care of it and the rest of the stay in that regard was great. Our TV wasn't working for the first 2.5 days. Eventually either it was cured or replaced. Either way we enjoyed TV while we were at the room the rest of the time.

Customers have to deal with no sleep.

Myself and my husband has stayed at this location several times. We actually love the free breakfast and beds so we’ve come back even after having nights that ended up sleepless due to people being loud, heater not working, people outside being loud ect.. I let the service people know and they didn’t seem to care either time. This was the last time we attempted to stay. I’m pretty upset because if there wasn’t any weird sales going on between vehicles that stay running till 4am with cutoff mufflers I would have had a great anniversary but again it was a waste of money. From now on we will choose another hotel to have our monthly stays at.

The staff is excellent, they have a great lobby with drinks and snacks at all times which is super useful for late night or early morning travelers and also for those who are just wanting to hang out or waiting for rides etc. Rooms are not fancy and are a bit dated, but have all we need including fridge and micro, so we were comfy. My only issue was with the remoteness of the location. It is a problem for winter when you do not have a car and cannot walk due to the compacted ice and snow. Taxis are expensive and Uber is hard to get here sometimes. Perhaps you could offer a shuttle service to malls and other places like downtown for people like us who felt somewhat stranded . Even if this is for a fee, I think it would be useful for guests and one more plus for the hotel. Overall, we had a great stay here and would recommend it to everyone.

This was a fine hotel in a convenient location, however the heat was broken in our room. It was 89 degrees when we woke up. Needless to say, not a good night sleep. They checked the heater and found it was missing a part; moved our room for night two. Why was that room rented to us? We usually sleep at 65-68 degrees. Nightmares. No compensation offered.

No shuttle

The hotel is ok for our stay. The problem was the shuttle pick up from the train station. We waited for over an hour. I called four times and she told me that she had received a call from the shuttle driver he was not available. So she called a cab. We waited and waited. I called again and she said they were on the way. We waited and i called again. She put me on hold and came back to say for me to call an uber, the cab company would not answer the phone. We had been at the train station with our bags waiting for well over an hour. One of the men working at the train station said this is a common thing. They dont have the shuttle and they dont want to use anything else so they only reimburse for the cab company. It was not a pleasant experience. We arrived at the train station around 7:30. We were picked up by our uber at 9:13. If you stay here and need a shuttle just know the routine. Dont wait an hour and a half on a shuttle and taxi cab. They are not coming.

Our stay is okay. Wish they would freshen up the room. Have AC turn so it would not smell like a moldy carpet. We requested nonsmoking and got a handicap room with a handicap shower which creates water on the floor. The toilet was an other style and it was dirty at the bottom.
