“Bear Lodge provides ample parking and convenient access to various parts of Fairbanks. I noted the rooms are generously sized and clean; however, I find the furniture somewhat undersized, given the spaciousness. The placement of amenities in the bathroom seems unusual, but the location and practical aspects of the lodge stand out.”
