The room was bigger than our first apartment. The facility is well cared for and the gardens were beautiful. Would definitely be my first pick if I go back to Fairbanks.
Lani
Older but clean and room had a separate living room and kitchen!
sandi
Excellent condition for older hotel. Spacious rooms and wonderfully stocked kitchen! Great food!

Shane
I’ve stayed in every large establishment in Fairbanks for decades and when I visit up North, I stay where you find the best and Sophie’s Station far surpasses the others hands down in comfort in restaurant and amenities. I’ve never had better accommodating staff. When you travel and want to enjoy as I do and you’re in Fairbanks Alaska look no further than Sophie’s Station. This is 45 years of traveling all over in Alaska alone. So pamper your self and relax at Sophie’s.

Room was a suite so had a kitchen which worked out well. Easy check in and out. clean rooms well maintained
Tony
Good location
Matthew
We travel to from Anchorage to Fairbanks a few times a year to visit family. We always stay at Sophies station when practical. (If you need two rooms, it is more practical to get a VERBO.) the location is great for our family’s residence and the restaurant is a small wonder. Each room has a real kitchen and major supermarkets are just a couple blocks away. If you need something for your kitchen and it’s not there, just ask at the front desk. I highly recommend the Ruben at the restaurant.
marvin
I like walking distance to the two major stores safeway and Fred Myers for myself walking distance to toco king also
David
Staff was very accomodating. Would definitely stay here again
Ronna
The staff were amazing and the rooms were great!
Chris
Room was clean and kitchen was complete.
Dan
We love staying here. Our room was a suite so had a separate living area/kitchen from the bedroom which is so nice since my husband gets up way earlier than I do. The hotel is quiet and a great place to stay.
Rolan
Very clean and helpful staff! Kitchen amenities were great!
Wayne
Had everything you needed. Kind of like a timeshare. Awesome shuttle driver Daniel. A great accommodation after our hotel in Denali.
Jennifer
Nothing like the pictures.
Deborah
It was really clean and quiet and it was great they pick you up and take you to both the train station and the airport. We just wish it included a complimentary breakfast. They charge 28.95 for breakfast. That’s steep considering you’re paying $200+ a night. Did like we could cook our own meals if we chose.
Gary A
This was unexpected in a good way, it is set up
Like an apartment living. Large bedroom, great bathroom counter space, kitchen amenities including k-cup style coffee pot. Helpful staff at check-in and checkout. Large flat screen tv’s in living room and bedroom.

Lin
Do not get fooled on the breakfast. It's not complimentary as advertised. It's breakfast buffet with only limited choices and cost almost $ 29.00 per person. Not worth it at all. With that cost, you'd better off dining in town, even if you have to call a taxi
Rosemary
Temperature in room was easily controlled to very comfortable Breakfast was slim pickings and gone by 9. Disappointing.
Most staff very helpful. Think they have a hard time finding staff to work in February

Adequate amenities and clean property, ideal for budget stays
Laura
It did the job of needing a place to sleep and shower. It is a bit out dated and the breakfast did not have much variety.
Myron
Its a decent play to stay. They have a restaurant upstairs and the bed was comfortable.
Russell
Staff were great. Room clean and well stocked. Restaurant delicious. Prompt shuttle to and from airport.
John
Good
Lin
The floor in the room is not flat, always make noice when I was walking. It might need floor restoration.
Dean
Staff was great and the room was very nice and kept up very well.
Bruce
Was a great hotel but was out of coffee in the lobby most of the time. No one came in the 3days we were there to ask if we needed anything. But the room was great and the people were very nice. We did have a great stay
Danielle
The staff was super helpful. We really enjoyed the grab and go breakfast and the shuttle to and from the airport. Made our stay very easy.

Charles
First thing i noticed walking into the entryway was the cleanliness of everything as i made my way to the counter. The Associate was very polite and cordial! The staff made checking in seamless and was granted an upgrade to a king suite. I have been to many overnight venues and i could not find a single complaint \"1\" with the cleanliness! Bravo to cleaning staff! (My wife is very picky in the \"clean\" area and she gave 2 thumbs up). Thank you mostly to the staff and also to the management that gives the \"Boots on the ground\" crew the tools they need to reach excellence! Well done all!
David
I first visited 20 years ago - it was a great place. Sadly, nothing has changed since then (carpet, bedroom furniture, coffee machine, etc.) - place is a bit run down and needs some updates, especially with newer hotels in town. Staff were really nice though.
David
Kitchen had sufficient pots and pans ect
Lorraine
Everything about our stay was amazing, from the staff, room, amenities. The only one thing I had a problem with is we ate at the restaurant every day and continuously ordered the same menu items but the quantity wasn’t consistent. On one particular dinner experience my son literally only had 2 broccoli crowns and 3 carrot slices for his mixed vegetables with his salmon but the other two nights the same meal came with 5 broccoli crowns, tons of carrots and sliced onions. But I didn’t complain at the time because the flavor was very delicious and staff was amazing. Also I know they’re thinking about doing away with sofa beds but I really wish they would reconsider because that was truly the deciding factor in my decision to stay there. Thanks
Jennifer
We stayed here previously and staff was amazing, this time not at all. The stays were literally just 5 days apart and this staff was downright rude at best. We had to check in late (around 930pm) because we had been on a tour through the artic circle that lasted all day Whomever checked us in was irritated that she had to help us because the other girl (who had helped us in the previous stay) was busy with another guest. We had told her that when we left previously that we would need a later check out, (as told to us by the other clerk just a few days prior that it wouldn't be any problem because they had very few rooms booked this time of year)
Jennifer
wonderful staff, on site restaurant only avaliable for dinner but great selections.
Melissa
This hotel was close and walking distance to the grocery store and coffee shops. The rooms were dated, adequate, spacious but dirty. At least 2 inches of dust around all the baseboards- seemingly only cleaned where a vacuum could reach. Full kitchen was a plus but when we went to take a shower the drains were clogged. On our first night of three at Sophie Station the front desk staff (I don’t remember the ladies name) acted like she was annoyed when we checked in. She gave us the complete feeling we were interrupting her “cell phone” time. She didn’t greet us when we got to the front desk and never did smile once. Disappointing .
Alberta
Great, large apartment style room
Charles
Great location and the room was everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend!!
Sally
The room was clean but no maid service for at least a four day stay. The temperature in the room was extremely difficult to control—- very, very warm and only one a/c in the bedroom. Sitting room was uncomfortably warm. Granted the weather was warm outside, but there was little ventilation possibilities.
Ken
Hotel was everything you could ask for. The suites were wonderful
Therese
I’m so torn on this review. I called the hotel for their free shuttle service and asked if we could be picked up at the airport and was met with a heavy sigh and “uhhh, maybe. Hold on.” I was nervous that they wouldn’t get us based on the annoyed tone. They did send the shuttle and the driver was great. When we got there I asked if early check-in was possible and the same girl from the phone smirked and said “probably not.” She then said it would be $54 to check in early. This policy is not her fault, but she wasn’t friendly either. I realize nobody is guaranteed free or early check-in, but I have never come across a hotel that wouldn’t just let you check in before 4pm when the room was ready. Which it was. But only for a cost? The room itself was $386/night, which I think is on the high end and not amazing considering the dated nature. One bed was comfortable and one bed felt like a 900lb man was jumping on it for a year (room 147 bed by the bathroom - try it you’ll see). Pillows were great. It was truly super clean. All of the other staff during our stay were lovely. The lounge was tasty, but only had one server for the whole place, so it took us 1.5 hours to get drinks and a few appetizers, but that wasn’t her fault. So I’m torn. 95 % great humans and really great things about the hotel, but also way too overpriced for the brown decor of the 80’s, an unfriendly start, and that bed! It’s also in a not charming area between grocery stores. Convenient yet unappealing.
Jacob
We always enjoy staying at Sophie’s station. The home like rooms are perfect for our family.
Greg
Friendly staff and good food.

Larry
Our flight was changed to a redeye. Attempted to check in at noon so my wife and I could rest prior to a redeye flight and was informed it would be an extra charge to check in early. No exceptions. The hotel staff is certainly not accommodating. Attempted to cancel and book another hotel but because of hotel.com’s cancellation policy was unable to do so. Room dated but clean.

The location is superb - close to the airport, major streets, and shopping.
Jack

Louise
Hotel is in need of updating. Convenient to airport. Friendly hotel staff. Very clean
TAMAR
Good place to stay. I liked how the bedroom was separate from the living room / kitchen. Pots and pans can be obtained from the lobby. Close walking distance to a grocery store and not too far from Walmart, Costco, and other shopping centers. Workers are very kind and helpful. However, the hotel and room are outdated, and there is a lingering scent.
edna
If you are just wanting to stay close to the airport with free shuttle and free shuttle to the train station, this is a great place. No complimentary breakfast and breakfast didn't open until 9:00 a.m. . Room needs a ceiling fan. Very stale air. They did have a square floor fan electric but it made noise. Front desk clerk very polite and patient
Christopher
Nice place
Hotel very nice and everything was excellent but my only concern was the property is a little dated. Would stay again.
James
Great suite experience
Deborah
Offer a free shuttle service to town as hotel is very isolated.
Carole
Dated rooms, but clean and comfortable. Staff at checkin was not very friendly. It’s pretty easy to say hello and welcome, and perhaps offer a bottle of water.
Joseph
The place was clean and perfect for what we needed the two nights we stayed. The staff at check in and check out were quite rude and not very pleasant to do business with. The remainder of staff and property experience was great
Dennis
For Fairbanks, this hotel is “ok”. We stayed here in advance of a land tour and our bus driver described the area as”sketchy “ and told us not to roam around. They charged us $289 a night which was a total rip-off. The breakfast buffet was limited and $30, we only did this once. At best this is a $125 a night hotel. Really disappointed that Celebrity Cruises uses this property!

Great room and hotel
I really had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The staff was wonderful - even stopping to see if I needed help with my bags when I was unloading my car. Room was super clean! Enjoyed having the kitchenette. Really enjoyed my stay.
Cynthia
Would definitely Recommend this Place!
This place is great. Had never been to Fairbanks before, so glad we picked this hotel. Nice staff, very clean rooms and nice environment. We most definitely stay here again.
Richard
Sophie's Station in Fairbanks, AK is a wonderful place to stay with all the major features we require, for example it is a very safe, quiet, and clean hotel with Zach's restaurant serving delicious meals both at brunch and dinner hours. We saw locals coming in for both meals. The transportation both pickup at the Airport and when we left was on time and very friendly. Sophies Staff at the check in had our room available even when we checked in earlier than the usual 4:00 PM hour. Many thanks and kudos for Sophies Station! Sincerely, Evy and Richard Feb 2024
Gena
I like the layout of the rooms. They are spacious and comfortable.
Cheryl
Outstanding brunch options at Jake's restaurant on-site. Parking lot and winter electrical outlets accessible and well maintained. Spacious king suite. Peaceful and open landscaping location.
La'Shawndra
Old but amazing!
The staff was very friendly and the hotel was immensely clean. However, it's very old a dated. Nonetheless, I would stay again and the food and drinks were stellar!!
Paul
A Really Good Experience
The suite was a joy. First of all, it was very quiet; we heard almost no noise at all. It was very clean, and the kitchen was set up with flatware and dishes. It doesn't come with pots or pans, but there was a card on the sink stating that those were available by calling the front desk. The full-size fridge and oven were great. The bedroom and on-suite bathroom were very enjoyable. The water pressure (always an unknown) was good. The closets are large. The only only negative thing we could mention is that the couch, while looking reasonably new, lacked some support. The arm chair in the living room was very comfortable. Lighting was sufficient, as well. All in all, a really good experience, and we plan to stay there again.
Aj
Great place to stay
Toni
The property was well kept. Staff were super helpful but the rooms could use some sprucing up like carpet. While there we used the restaurant which was closed Sunday but open Monday and the food was excellent
Alan
Nice, but service was lacking
It was a nice place to spend 3 nights in Fairbanks. The staff were nice. We were surprised that the entry doors did not have ADA pushbuttons to open the very heavy doors.
We ordered food at the bar, but it took almost an hour to get the food and I had to take it to eat later.
The first night I realized that the thermostat was broken. The room temperature was probably higher than 75 degrees. I asked for it to be fixed and the 2nd night I saw a note from maintenance saying they looked at the unit and fixed it. The thermostat was still broken and we had to spend another hot night there.

The room was neat and clean. Suitable for our needs as we explore the area.
Marlys
Our room was not ready at the check in time and we were told twice to come back. Upon entering our room on the bottom floor, it immediately smelled as though it had been smoked in at some point. The room was extremely outdated and the beds, couch and chair were all extremely hard- even my children noticed it right away. The hard beds led to terrible sleep for my family. Dark decor. No allowance for late check-out and there was construction on the road leading into the hotel which led to many detours. No breakfast included. The one redeeming quality was the kitchen in the room. I would choose another property next time, with breakfast included and updated decor - and hopefully newer beds.
Benjamin
Distant from most of Fairbanks, very few places to eat nearby. Close to the airport if that is what you want.
Karen H
Pleasant stay. Room had plenty of space: bedroom, full kitchen, living room and full bathroom.
