The Breakfast menu was a real bonus in getting your day started, the Airport shuttle was so incredibly convenient, and the staff were all absolutely wonderful -- especially, Danielle. The Golden North Inn was, as far as I am concerned, the best deal in town for staying in Fairbanks!

The shuttle arrived swiftly to pick up from the airport and the staff was very friendly and helpful with recommendations of the area. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was simple but several choices and filling. And the coffee and hot water was always available, much needed in the -40 temps!
