Hyatt Place Fairbanks

This hotel is right on a major road that is busy around the clock. The noise level in my room was so loud from the street traffic, it kept me up all night long. I got no sleep or rest in this hotel because of the constant loud vehicle traffic right outside my window. The noise continued all through the night at all hours. I will not stay here again, nor recommend it to anyone. Other than that, the room was modern and clean, with a nice walk in shower. The free breakfast buffet was nice. Rooms in the non street side of the hotel are liklier quieter. If you want to sleep in your hotel room, you should definitely request that if available, otherwise stay at a different hotel.

The King rooms on the 4th floor are so spacious. I found myself thinking multiple times that I could happily move into an apartment that size and layout. It was great for setting up a pack n play but still having a couch/sitting area where you didn't have to worry about making too much noise. My son also loved swimming.

My wife and I stayed here 11 years ago when it was a Holiday Inn. We enjoyed two things. It was March Madness so when we weren't doing Fairbanks stuff, hiking in snow and Northern Lights were napping, watching March Madness or warming up from walking in the cold in the hot tub. The hot tub is gone in the change to Hyatt, the pool is a little grimy and the television reception is about 1975 quality. The plus is the breakfast really buffet. The food was very good and the staff made it very nice. However, when you can't always see numbers on the backs of jerseys on your 55 or 65 inch tv, not so good and no hot tub... This room was about $100 per night more than two places that only had a hot tub, we chose the one with both and got neither. Oddly enough the hot tub is still in the pictures on the Hyatt page for the site. The manager was very nice and tried to be accommodating but the lack of clarity was system wide. Other rooms had identical picture quality. Like I said, the staff tried to make it better, but... The room is clean, nice, if a bit sterile, the bed not great and all of this at Hyatt prices without what we really wanted to have.

The hotel was just fine Breakfast was not at all good and below expectation and the staff working for breakfast didn’t even bothered to make refills even if an hour is left for breakfast. Basic toiletries were not present in hotel like bathroom slippers, bathrobes, brush or paste. The cost was not justifiable at all.

Upon checking in, we were disappointed our room requests weren't honored and the minor kids would be "a few doors down." Then, we found that the hot tub pictured on the website does not actually exist. There was chewed gum on the bottom of the pool. Went to shower in our room and found it moldy. Better than the next morning though, when there was no hot water. Asked for a late check out, was told "okay" and expected to not have to deal with anyone again - WRONG. Our keys stopped working promptly at noon.
