Hubby and I landed Fairbanks at 2am. The hotel 24hr airport shuttle was FANTASTIC! We just had to call the hotel after we landed and collected our bags. Ashley M came by in less than 10mins! She welcome us with a big friendly smile and sent us to the hotel where were greeted by the delightful Jessica. Thank you both for giving us such excellent and warmest service on a freezing November (3am) morning!

The Best Western Plus Chena River Lodge stay of 7 days was wonderful. The hotel was clean, quiet, and centrally located. The staff were all very helpful with any need we had. Our room was very clean and all amenities worked perfectly. We had a very pleasant stay and would be glad to recommend this hotel to anyone.
