In a quiet neighborhood. Layout of the room can be improved. It has a kitchenette that can be helpful for most people. Breakfast was in a different building, but it was amazing. Owner made egg in ham cups and peanut butter muffins that were just mildly sweetened which I appreciated that. There’s other breakfast items as well.

Rooms were clean bathroom facilities were very nice. Staff was great help. We went to breakfast later and there wasn’t much left. Staff member did come and started filling in, but we had eaten. What was there. Parking was adequate. The only real problem we had was there were no fans. It was warm and there were no screens on the windows so we couldn’t open them without letting in a lot of bugs. Screens on the windows would’ve been our biggest complaint.

It was a unique experience. Basically you are part of three different locations. Actual stay was about a mile from the building that served breakfast. Don’t go there for the breakfast. Not that great but the breakfast lady was good. The bed was very worn and swaybacked. Not the best but it was clean and we got some laundry done which was in a different building. Probably won’t stay there again. We are two older travelers just staying in Fairbanks for a couple of days.

Cozy, Alaskan charm…

I have stayed at the Abbey, several times over the last 5-7 years, all have been very satisfactory. I like the cozy Alaskana feel, and appreciate the thought that went into the initial construction and d3sign of the buildings. Very quiet, and conveniently located(I have always driven). The hospitality provided is excellent, friendly staff and owners top it off. This location is my go to in Fairbanks.

And unusual, but very Charming place. I'll be honest, I thought the place was a little bit sketchy when I first went to go check in, but despite the unusual nature of the property, the rooms are large, comfortable, and I had an outstandingly Pleasant stay. I cannot recommend this place enough.

The owner was delightful. We arrived late due to a flight delay and since our Uber driver left for another fare she gave us a ride to our room, which was a half mile away at a separate property. Also the breakfast was fabulous with many homemade items. The property was clean and comfortable.

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.

Fair

Surprised the inside looked more like an old dormitory instead of a hotel. The entrance, hall and stairs to the laundry need some TLC. In our room, we enjoyed the kitchen with stove and refrigerator. The bathroom was up to date and clean enough. Our beds were comfortable but the pillows were terrible.

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.

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.

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.

Overall it was good and I’d likely stay again. The folks at check in were very kind and gave me some great pointers for things to do and see in the area. Check in was smooth! I was in a building with no elevator and I was on the 3rd floor which was awkward with a suitcase. The room was large, but it had little usable space e.g: only a sliver of a countertop in the kitchen and only a small round table that was supposed to be the desk and the dining table. No real comfortable place to sit and relax other than the bed and the regular rolling dining chair that didn’t roll very well. The heater worked GREAT! The hot water and shower water pressure was AWESOME! I was never cold. I love that it had a full kitchen and full size fridge/freezer so I could make my own meals.

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.

I like that the room size is good and it has a fully equipped kitchen. The property is old, but the room is well-equipped. When we checked in, the toilet was not clean. My room has 1 queen bed and 1 twin. The queen-size bed is way too soft, but the twin-size bed was comfortable. We stayed the first two nights here and returned again after one week. The second time, my room was clean and both beds were comfortable. This breakfast was okay.
