This place is a bit below average. The first room we were assigned was on the first floor overlooking the parking lot. The window was open because the AC was non-functional. The ladies at the front desk tried to be…
DavidUnited StatesWorst experience in Fairbanks ever!!!!
Nothing
This is not a hotel but rather a hospice. The staff was terrible and actually yelled at us for asking why the window was left open in our room and it was -40f outside. She said I don't know that is not my job!…

JordanThe breakfast was fine. Not too many options. We were disappointed that breakfast was served very late in the morning one day due to a staff call-in. Cold breakfast items weren’t even available during this time.
CarenThe heating system was not controllable in the room. It was too hot for comfortable sleeping plus the fan was always on and very loud. Staff had no way of controlling it. Thermostats in the room didn’t function.

- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.

Questions about Best Western Plus Chena River Lodge
What time is check-in and check-out at Best Western Plus Chena River Lodge?
Check-in is from 4:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Best Western Plus Chena River Lodge allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Best Western Plus Chena River Lodge?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Best Western Plus Chena River Lodge have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Best Western Plus Chena River Lodge have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Best Western Plus Chena River Lodge?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 4:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Best Western Plus Chena River Lodge?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
