Hotels in Fairbanks, AK

http://lunchcafeandeatery.com/2017/04/menu-spring-2017/

The Yukon Quest starts in Fairbanks on Feb. 3 rd. A local favorite! Come see the dogs have fun!

For starters Amy, forget the hotel and stay with us! Much cheaper, cleaner, nicer and with a view from every window and deck. Oh, and it's well stocked. http://abnb.me/EVmg/0SJ0 xkPvBG

All of the restaurants mentioned (especially the Lunch Café) plus the new Indian restaurant (Hari Om http://www.newsminer.com/features/sundays/no-indian-cuisine-in-fairbanks-makes-the-perfect-demographic-for/article_e29346 aa-9 b82-11 e7-ada1-c7 a505 b97 ed2.html). Hook up with Ronn & Marketa at The Aurora Chasers (http://www.ronnmurrayphoto.com/NorthernLightsTours/TourOptions/Tours-Cancellation-FAQ) for a tour. Also, I second the "don't stay at a hotel" sentiment. Find an air BnB in the Goldstream Valley--several options out there.

A Taste of Alaska Lodge is a great place to stay if you want to get out of town a little bit. Some things to do - Chena Hot Springs Resort for the out door hot springs, University of Alaska Museum, Silver Gulch in Fox, AK.

Petunias Cafe inside Holm Town Nursery has vegan/vegetarian dishes. Also Take 5 Cafe inside Artisans Courtyard on College.

Look up serious sled dogs on Facebook she does a Aurora tours and dog mushing tours combined and transportation up there would be taken care of through Pioneer taxi which I am the owner of feel free to contact me at 907 456-4000, My name is ROBERT

Pita place for lunch. Open all winter this year mon-fri only. Really great falafel pitas. HooDoo and Lavelles Taphouse for beer. Lavelles Bistro for wine and fine dining. A few great distilleries to try, especially Ursa Major and their gin mojito. Museum of the North at UAF.

https://www.facebook.com/814863775198557 Brazen Bistro B&B is my spot centrally located and run by locals! Check out our website for links to Airbnb or book with us directly. Brazenbistro.com Thai food here is amazing and we have many vegetarian places to recommend. Chena hot springs is always great in winter season. Local events are always in the works during cold winter months like wine tastings at Ravens Landing near our place. I believe dog sled races are ramping up around that time of year too.

Try Running Reindeer Ranch, check with the website or call and ask for Jane Atkinson... You'll enjoy it. !!!

Arctic Roots Farm...check out Farm Cottage on Airbnb.com. Even our neighbors come to the farm to view the Aurora

Alaskaelement.com for rental gear to keep you toasty while gazing at the Northern Lights

Pikes waterfront lodge...and then take a side trip up to Bettles, stay at Bettles Lodge:)

Billie’s Backpackers Hostel! 2895 Mack Rd, Fbks, 907 479-2034!

Hampton Inn.:-)

Try Pemberly Place

Last weekend of February is Winterfest at Denali. Schedule will be posted at www.nps.gov/dena...

Try Airbnb. There are plenty of cabins and houses for rent outside of town so out of the light pollution and perfect for viewing the Aurora. We have a one bedroom cabin on airbnb if you are interested. If ours doesn't suite you I reccomend you try another one. Airbnb is a really cool way to experience the local vibe and is usually cheaper than a hotel :) https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/13717433?guests=1&s=41&user_id=37169582&ref_device_id=ba0 efea755880269

Chena Hotsprings for outside of Fairbanks and La Quinta or Princess Lodge (if they are open in the winter) or Westmark

Springhill Suites (Marriott) is located downtown and within walking distance to all kinds of shops and restaurants. There's even a ice museum and my favorite, the fudge pot. Right across the street is the visitors center and a walking bridge over the Chena river. Great location and they have a great pool!

Check out brazenbistro.com https://www.facebook.com/814863775198557 Brazen Bis https://www.facebook.com/130213178495 tr https://www.facebook.com/237311789936927 o B&B for lodging also my moms places A Moose in the Garden Vacation Rental or Lead Dog Cabin Vacation Rental

Air B & B offers a variety of choices and prices. Hotels, in the summer, are very expensive.

SpringHill Suites is the best

If you are a tourist I strongly suggest a downtown hotel. Springhill Suites is nice and has rooms overlooking the river.

Alaska Motor Inn.

Westmark. Springhill Suites.

Pike's Waterfront Lodge

https://m.yelp.com/biz/monson-motel-fairbanks Hands down the best.

Sophie Station and Suites is the best IMO. I stayed there for four months while on contract.

You need the MilePost http://www.themilepost.com/

Every single place we called along the way accepted our dog, and most were free of charge. A couple that come to mind are Riverland Inn & Suites in Kamloops, BC, Quality Inn & Suites in Grande Prarie, AB, Super 8 in Fort Nelson, BC, Yukon Motel & Restaurant in Teslin, YT, and finally.... Fast Eddy's in Tok, AK. Every single one of these were great stays, and Quality Inn and Super 8 both had SWEET water slides for their indoor pools! We just made the trip back in April. Hope this helps. Good luck! Also, hit up Hell's Gate air tram in BC on the way to Kamloops. It's an awesome touristy stop with spectacular scenery. - Also pet friendly.

Cozy Corner in Haines Jct probably does plus good food/prices, and/or at Mile 1147 Alaska Highway, the - Pine Valley Lodge - Bakery/ Creperie - here on facebook so you can check with them. Pine Valley has a horse corral for visiting horses, so probably allows pets too, plus great French pastries!

Super 8 in Dawson Creek, Muncho Lake Lodge, Big Horn Hotel in Watson Lake, Yukon Lodge in Teslin, 1202 Motor Lodge in Beaver Creek, Young's Motel in Tok.

Here's a website we use and it has Canada listings..dog friendly.com, and bringfido.com.

Booking.com saved us. Cheaper etc.

I used Bring Fido, and Pets Welcome websites to find a list of pet friendly hotels and their rates in each town/city we stayed in.
