La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fairbanks Airport
Our stay at La Quinta was great! The staff was always friendly, the breakfast was decent and they have their own little gift shop. My only complaint was the smell of rotten eggs in the room at check in and that the gift shop ran out of water after our first day.
