Fodor's Expert Review Sophie Station Suites

Its quiet location and very helpful staff make this spacious hotel near the airport one of Fairbanks's best. It has comfy furniture, rich upholstery, and Alaskan artwork throughout. If you don't feel like dining out, these suites include full kitchens and are a short walk from two large grocery stores. Or just head to Zach's, the hotel restaurant which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner; menu items incorporate ingredients grown in the hotel's flower-filled on-site gardens.
