"Clean property, nice people, decent amenities, mediocre location - The Hotel North Pole is probably the best place to stay in North Pole. You have to set your expectations to the location. This is a very small town outside of the "larger small town" of Fairbanks. The entire region is very industrial. Gravel parking lots and heavy equipment abound. This location is at the end of a stip mall parking lot. We thought North Pole was some kind of of quaint little town like you'd see in New England. Not so. This is a working town made up of small suburb developments and strip malls. It is functional but not what we would call scenic. It is a bedroom community to the two Army and Air Force bases. Again - everyone was awesome here. The little restaurants were excellent. The hotel staff were lovely. If you need a clean and convenient place to stay, this is it. We will probably stay here again when we visit family."
