Building was pretty, room was more spacious than I anticipated. Checking in was a little strange as there didn't seem to be a conventional front office area. My room was in a separate building around a five minute drive away which was odd as well. Room was clean for the most part.

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.

Pros: It was clean, fairly easy to get to. The reception personal was nice, checked me in pretty late and drove me to the property where my room was. Cons: Didn't have the breakfast that supposed to be included even thou I asked on check in whrre should I go for breakfast. And the people staying next door to my room were extremely loud. There alarm was going off at 5:30am for over 30 minutes. Overall i would stay there again if/when I'm back and hopefully the people next door won't be the same.

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.

I liked having a ground floor room. It also had a kitchenette that I wasn’t expecting. Room was clean. The walls are thin, you can hear every door opening and people thumping their luggage down the stairs. A negative would be not having an elevator for the guests.

Stay away

Run down breakfast is scrambled eggs waffles and cereal. Climb stairs to 2nd floor to check in and eat. Full size older refrigerator with older compressor that makes lots of noise every 30 minutes. Lots more bad stuff. Will never stay there again. Check yelp reviews on this one

They pulled the old bait and switch by promising a studio with a queen bed, while giving me a room with two twin beds and a bathroom down the stairs from me. The bathroom was tiny and I wouldn't take a shower in it. This is the hotel of many stairs, no elevator. Just a bad experience overall.

Not Disappointed

This is the first time we have stayed at Abbey Archway Inn. It was very clean and comfortable. I have mobility issues, so the roll-in shower was a blessing. We were very happy with the room and vicinity of the hotel. The lady who checked in my husband was very nice. We will stay here again.

Do not recommend if travelling on vacation.

The room was on the second floor. There was dog poop on the carpet on the stairs. When you walked in the room it reeked of dogs. The linens had stains on them. The picture is not what the houses that are actually Abbey Archway Inn.

Terrible experience overall. My reservation was for a particular building but manager sent me to a different building about 0.5 miles away and was unapologetic about this. Room's window was open with no screen and abundant mosquitoes in the room. The trash can in the bathroom still had trash from the prior occupants.

Felt deceptive

As frequent visitors to Fairbanks we will not choose to stay at Abbey Archway, Seven Gables or Fairbanks extended stay in the future. All three run by same people. We made the choice to stay in Abbey Archway. We were given rooms in Fairbanks Extended Stay the place we did not choose because of its location. Instead of a quiet residential street we were next to a major city road. One of the rooms had a stale smoky smell and was quite unclean, the other very noisy during the night. That the room style chosen when making the booking was why we had to stay in a completely different location defies understanding. We made a room style choice on the site for Abbey Archway. A guest shouldn’t be put at a different location than the one they chose after careful research just because the owner chooses. It all felt deceptive. I took notice of the negative reviews and yet still went ahead with the booking believing in giving a fair chance. That was a mistake
