The water was hot, and the bed seemed clean. The complimentary shampoo bottle was used, and the previous occupant had left hair “art” in The shower. We needed a place to sleep, and it was ok, but wouldn’t go back. Check-in is at a different location to the rooms.

I like that the room size is good and it has a fully equipped kitchen. The property is old, but the room is well-equipped. When we checked in, the toilet was not clean. My room has 1 queen bed and 1 twin. The queen-size bed is way too soft, but the twin-size bed was comfortable.

We stayed the first two nights here and returned again after one week. The second time, my room was clean and both beds were comfortable.

This breakfast was okay.

The stay was one of the best stays we’ve had on vacation this year. The room was set up like a one room apartment with a kitchen and bathroom. The television worked well for us and had commercials free content. Breakfast was available but we skipped it for coffee in our room. The elevator was broken and breakfast was off site as well as check in. The people we met at check in and check out were very nice.

The picture that was part of the receipt I printed out had a charming Abby with church style arches not even close to what it really looks like… a hostel. You better be somewhat fit because there are Stairs and more stairs.
The grounds were overgrown as well and it was in a crappy residential area.
I do want to say the kitchen part was nice with a full size refrigerator so I guess this is the saving grace.

It was a unique experience. Basically you are part of three different locations. Actual stay was about a mile from the building that served breakfast. Don’t go there for the breakfast. Not that great but the breakfast lady was good. The bed was very worn and swaybacked. Not the best but it was clean and we got some laundry done which was in a different building. Probably won’t stay there again. We are two older travelers just staying in Fairbanks for a couple of days.

What was there. Parking was adequate. The only real problem we had was there were no fans. It was warm and there were no screens on the windows so we couldn’t open them without letting in a lot of bugs. Screens on the windows would’ve been our biggest complaint.

In a quiet neighborhood. Layout of the room can be improved. It has a kitchenette that can be helpful for most people. Breakfast was in a different building, but it was amazing.

The office is pretty hidden not much signs. Place looks weird the old man who gave us key wasn’t really helpful didn’t really explain much on amenities or anything at all I think he just wanted to go back to sleep we arrived @3am. Rooms are dirty we had to buy our cleaning supplies to clean it up more, we stayed at property next to Napa store. I asked the boss of cleaning if I can get towels and she said she didn’t have any so it’s pointless to b on the property. Staff wasn’t helpful at all .

I read the bad reviews before I checked in. As many people said, I was sent to another facility-about a half mile away (Fairbanks Extended Stay) The place was okay - old place with thin wall...at least, you have a roof to avoid snow with heater. I had to contact all of my tour companies to let them know the change of pick-up place. One company told me I have to be in Abbey Archway Inn. One morning with snow, I walked a half mile, about 10 mins. Wow, I could have free breakfast finally on that day! Breakfast was like first-come, first-serve. I took last pieces of bread and egg dish. One couple came after me - they had only waffles, cereals and yogurt with a cup of coffee or orange juice. If you miss free breakfast, you should't be feel sorry. Just arrange InstaCart to get groceries. You can cook better breakfast by yourself. Yeah, towels were washed but had old stains (they were clean, I guess but looked disgusting). I won't go back there again when I visit Fairbanks next time.

Overall it was good and I’d likely stay again. The folks at check in were very kind and gave me some great pointers for things to do and see in the area. Check in was smooth! I was in a building with no elevator and I was on the 3rd floor which was awkward with a suitcase. The room was large, but it had little usable space e.g: only a sliver of a countertop in the kitchen and only a small round table that was supposed to be the desk and the dining table. No real comfortable place to sit and relax other than the bed and the regular rolling dining chair that didn’t roll very well. The heater worked GREAT! The hot water and shower water pressure was AWESOME! I was never cold. I love that it had a full kitchen and full size fridge/freezer so I could make my own meals.

The kitchen wasn’t cleaned properly, the balcony light didn’t work, the side of the tub was off and all the wires were exposed and the hall lights only worked half the time. Overall I would not recommend this place not only based on that but the room I paid for was not what was advertised in the pictures.

Cozy, Alaskan charm…

I have stayed at the Abbey, several times over the last 5-7 years, all have been very satisfactory. I like the cozy Alaskana feel, and appreciate the thought that went into the initial construction and d3sign of the buildings. Very quiet, and conveniently located(I have always driven). The hospitality provided is excellent, friendly staff and owners top it off. This location is my go to in Fairbanks.

When I arrived, the private bathroom that was for my room was not actually in my room - I had to go out into the main hallway and down some stairs to get to it. When I went into the bathroom the first time, it hadn't been cleaned since the last person used it. (To their credit, the bathroom was cleaned as soon as I pointed that out.) Also, the hair dryer plug was coming apart and did not look safe to use. The TV didn’t always work, and the room did not have its own thermostat, so there was no way to turn down the heat. The bed was squeaky every time I moved, and I could feel the springs in it, so I couldn't sleep. I also had to haul my 45-lb suitcase up stairs to the third floor, which was rather difficult! But there was a fan to use, a fridge and a microwave in the room, which was handy, and breakfast was decent.

Huge Room with Walking

The room is roomy and comfortable. It has more space than my first studio apartment. We were on the third floor so the perpetually broken elevator was a minus. The place is split up into various buildings. Ours was an 11 minute walk to breakfast. We used the 5 food trucks in the adjacent parking lot instead. It was a decent quiet (other than the highway) residential area. Uber guys can find it. The staff was helpful if a bit distracted by all the other activities.

We had a reservation for one night. We received a confirmation and our credit card was charged. Our flight was originally scheduled to land at Fairbanks airport at midnight but the airline changed our itinerary and told us we would not land until 1:00 a.m. We contacted the office at the Abbey Archwood Inn and the person we spoke to assured us that would not be a problem. She told us to call when we arrived and she would check us in. She even told us she had checked someone in at 3:30 a.m. the night before. We arrived at the Abbey Archwood Inn and called them at 1:46 a.m. The gentlemen who answered the phone said he did not have a reservation in our name. He did tell us that he had a room available but it would cost $200 -- which was four times what we initially paid. We contacted Expedia, who tried to call but he refused to answer the telephone. We would like a refund because we paid for this room but when we arrived at the Abbey Archwood Inn they claimed they had no reservation in our name. We offered to show the man our confirmation from Expedia showing we had the reservation and had already paid for the room. He refused to look at the confirmation. As a result of his behavior, we ended up trying to sleep in our car -- after traveling for over 15 hours.

Not a Good Night

We have stayed before and liked it. This time was not good. When we got to the building where we needed to go, there was a lot of snow and ice. My friend took me close to the building because I cannot walk well. A man drove up behind us and said we cannot park there, it is for fires. My friend explained she was dropping me close to the door. He didn't move his truck. So my friend couldn't move either. He finally left, so my friend parked our vehicle. I went to get my husband at the airport at 1 a.m. We got back to the hotel around 3. My husband turned on the television. We were in bed by 3:15. All of a sudden some guy was out in the hall yelling because \"there was too much noise and it was 3:00 in the morning And, people are trying to sleep.\" He said, \"Turn off the damn television. \" His voice got gruffer and louder. I thought for sure he was going to break down the door. The television was not on more than 5 to 10 minutes. It wasn't that loud. The guy yelling in the hallway caused more sound than the television. My husband had traveled since 6:00 a.m. and finally arrived in Fairbanks at the hotel at 3:00 a.m. He was tired. He is a disabled veteran and was starting to unwind and go to sleep. He had two doctor appointments and two hospital tests at 9:30 a.m. This is the first time we ever had a problem like this. Oh..and the man who complained that my friend took me close to the building and told her not to park there...was the co-owner of the motel.

Quiet, Clean, & Quaint

“Off the beaten path.” Checking in at one location and cabbing it to another isn’t my preference, but I can deal with it. Water pressure is excellent. Kitchenette saves me money, over the long run. The only thing that’s missing is local TV. This is more of an efficiency than a touristy hotel experience. I like quiet, clean, and quaint…and the owners are nice people.

And the people staying next door to my room were extremely loud. There alarm was going off at 5:30am for over 30 minutes.

The property is under construction. Its not a hotel as advertised, so no cleaning every day. The furniture is old and there were not enough kitchen utensils.
They have different properties so we arrived and they took us to other property. Although its a good price for Fairbanks, I dont believe its suitable for tourism purposes. Looks more like a low budget local rental.
