The staff is super friendly and accommodating. When I found myself in need of last minute lodging, they made me feel welcome and taken care of. read more

Handicapped access to rooms. The amount of stairs and where they are placed make checking in difficult if you're using a cane and impossible if you need a wheel chair. read more

7 Gables Inn & Suites - Waterfall room at seven gables. - Hotels Near Me - Fairbanks, Alaska

The worst place in fairbanks. Dirty dump. All the pictures are fake. Sarcastic rude personnel. The place stunk so bad i complained before I checked in . They said then don't stay. I asked if they charged my card. They said no. But they lied . Charged me 194.00. Never even checked in. Total crooks. And I'm having to report it as fraud to my bank. 1 star is 3/4 too much read more

Very old and smells awful. NOT worth $105 a night not even worth $50. I can't get over the smell it was so disgusting.

Ok so I didn't check the yelp reviews of this b&b until after we were already staying, and I was a bit nervous... but it turned out to be just fine! The inn is an old mansion (I think they said it used to be a frat house?). We had the bridal suite upstairs. The room was our cheapest of our trip to Alaska and it was great. The bed was comfy and it had a huge tub. The property was really interesting and the breakfast that was included was expansive (not super amazing, but included is great). I would stay here again for sure. read more

I'd do zero stars if I could. I got this place doing a price line bid and I took one look at the dump they checked me into and left. Do not stay here! The linens looked dirty along with everything else on the property. read more

Can I give it negative one hundred stars?!? When I booked through Expedia, I booked "Extended Stay Fairbanks," thinking it was the national Extended Stay brand, but in fact, it happened to be the 7 Gables Inn. My room was a few blocks away. By the following morning, I asked the innkeeper, Leicha, to please move me to the main building (which she did) because I couldn't keep walking seven or eight blocks every day in the below zero cold (and it was hard for Lyft drivers to readily spot me in the nondescript building next to Napa). Anyway, Leicha was incredibly passive-aggressive and rude; the back of the laundry room could easily be featured on Hoarders; and the place, in general, was dingy and gross. Most folks around Fairbanks I'd spoken to generally said that the location - and the owners - do have a reputation around town. Though I'm grateful for my visit to Alaska (it was my 50th state, and I'd set out to visit the entire U.S. years ago), 7 Gables/Extended Stay (whatever else they call themselves) definitely put a damper on my trip. Folks, do yourselves a favor and *do not* book this place. I've been trying like hell to get at least a partial refund from Expedia and also reaching my credit card, too. read more

I hate to post negative reviews about someone's main income but dude this place has been unpleasant. We moved to Fairbanks on military orders and had little to no choice on hotels because everything was booked up, and I seen this place listed as Abbey Archway Inn and thought it was a cute little spot to stay for a few until we could get into the hotel on post. I was wrong. We booked nearly a month in advance through the website but never received an email or text with our reservation number so we called about a week and a half before our stay just to be told they're "too busy to help with that" and took our name and number down to call us back when she found the information we needed. We never heard anything so we reached out again - apparently we weren't in the system so now I'm curious about where my credit card information went but okay, they booked us over the phone. We arrived around 4:30 pm to check in and was greeted passive aggressively but ya know it's fine, just give me my room key. They sent us over a few blocks to this random building that looks half renovated which is not an issue to us but it was a little concerning. We were in room 1. Room 1 is a terrible room to have and I would recommend to switch. You can hear absolutely everything happening in the hallway, and the room above you. Each morning we stayed here we were both woken up by the people staying above us, and the people stomping through the hallways or letting their 50 lb bag bang down the staircase. Our room was also not very clean. I know housekeepers that work hard and take pride in the work they do but whoever was in charge of this room definitely did not. It was like the only thing they took care of was changing the bedding, which still had dirt in the sheets. The walls are dirty, there's dust on the baseboards and desk. Bathroom floor had the previous tenants pubes and facial hair just hanging out on it. The bathroom has the worst toilet I've ever had to deal with, no matter how many times you flush there's always pee left in the bowl which makes the room smell like a public restroom. It was so bad we bought a candle. And a broom to sweep the floor with. This room is probably cleaner now than it was when we came into it. I also tried to reheat our pizza and the dishes they provide were even dirty. It's almost like everything about this place is half-a**ed. I wouldn't even trust the photos about the big suites to actually look like that because I know our room didn't. Checking out was also not a smooth experience. Wasn't sure if I was in the office or someone's house, and I asked a gentleman sitting at the kitchen counter if he's the one I need to talk to about checking out and getting another receipt. He said no and walked back to different room where there were 2 other people, one being a very unpleasant woman who answered him very snarky like and mocked me for wanting a refund when that never came out of my mouth even though it should have. Whatever it was early and maaaybe she didn't finish her coffee yet! The other man came out and was actually nice and helpful, except nobody at this place knows how to write up a receipt. It's not a normal hotel receipt that you'd usually get, it's a small little yellow paper and we needed it due to the room being reimbursed through the military. The owners were yet again out of office hours away and they said they would call me back and email it over once they got back in, and at this point it's nearing a month since our stay and neither my husband or I have had any communication from them. I really wouldn't recommend this place, or the other 8 names at the same address, to anybody, and it sucks because it has such a great potential. The customer service here is severely lacking, rude, and inconvenient and the attention to detail from the housekeepers need lots of work instead of them cursing up a storm in the hallway at 8 am. Stay away and book elsewhere if possible. read more

Place is shady, I booked two nights and the owner charged my card for one night twice. Which I blew off as an honest mistake only to find out it was to move me to thus run down building a block away. The room was unkempt and the same owner was too awkward to aporach me when bringing up the fact that I had to move rooms because they messed up the booking as they claimed. Waste of money and completely whacko. read more

I would give negative stars if possible, this place was the worst stay that I have ever had. I only stayed here because hot-wire randomly choose it for me in a "deal". This building looked scary from the outside and the check in process only solidified the experience. You have to go through a dead greenhouse to get to a dirty run down kitchen. Once you are shown to the room the realization that you are stuck having to sleep in a place that smells like a mixture of pledge and urine with tiny holes all over the walls, broken furniture and a bathroom mirror that still has peoples writing in the steam sets in. Seeing a used trojan box in the closet really set the tone for the rest of the stay. The first night we had to have someone come change the bedding because it was stained and full of hair. The owner admitted that they are doing the best that they can and don't wash the blankets. The next day using our key we dead bolted the door and set off to explore Fairbanks. When we returned several hours later we were tired and just wanted to relax. We noticed that the tv and lights that we had left off were both on but we chalked it up to housekeeping since we saw towels on the rack outside the bathroom. Once in the bathroom we saw that we were mistaken and an INTRUDER had been in our room WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION. My worst fears had come true. Someone had been in our room left their bag and clothing on our floor, smoked cigarettes and left the butts in the toilet and trash can, ate our food left dishes on the floor and in the sink and rifled through our bags. I called the owners who came to our room but did not act with any urgency. They advised us that the police would not do anything and that they did not have time to watch the cameras to see who did this. We did call the troopers to file a report and left the place at 10pm at night with no other openings in town we drove the 6 hours back to Anchorage. I am still wondering how someone got into our room that was dead bolted when we left and was dead bolted when we returned? This was not a random break in, the door was not broken in, someone was let into our room..... Please do not stay here this place is doing something wrong and I do not want you to put your safety in jeopardy. read more

The room was filthy. Ashes all over the bed and holes burned in the blanket. Footprints on the futon. Dirt on the floor. Grimy in general. Filthy hallways. Different location from listing so we had to get a second Lyft! In the middle of the night in winter! No breakfast as advertised because they said we can make our own food in our suite. We only stayed because it was 3am and we had no car. We stayed one night out of four booked but didn't get our money back. No response from owners when we asked for a refund for unused nights. Disgusting. read more

We spent one night at this inn. Upon our arrival I followed the signs to the office. The route took me through a green house (needed clean up), up a set of stairs, into a dimly lighted hallway. I didn't find anyone to speak with. I found a sign that said to call a telephone number for assistance. I had to use the light on my phone to read the number while dialing, slightly creepy. The owner answered and was with me in about a minute. Check in was at a kitchen counter. Our room was on the third floor. There is no elevator. I am a disabled person with bad knees. Hauling suitcases up one set of stairs is about it. We were moved to a room on the second floor. The room is "dated," in serious need of updating. There was a spider web in the window. Other than that the room was comfortable. I couldn't get the television to work, even with following the instructions. The bathroom is in need of updating too. When was the last time you saw an AM/FM radio, telephone, toilet paper holder combination. We didn't stay for breakfast as we planned on meeting family members for breakfast. read more

7 Gables Inn & Suites - Hotels Near Me - Fairbanks, Alaska

We have stayed here several times and are always very happy with our stay. The hot tubs are great (if you have one of those rooms). The bed is comfortable and the breakfast is hot and varies each day with great selections. There are multiple properties so I can not speak of the other locations but we stay at the main 7 Gables B&B. You need to understand it is a B&B. That means you have your own room & bathroom but a shared kitchen and living room space. This is not the owners kitchen as some have said. It is the kitchen for b&b guest. Feel free to use it. Yes check in is done in the kitchen because this is not a hotel with a front desk and check in staff. It's a owner operated B&B. The owners are great people. read more

We just arrived home after an exciting trip working as volunteers for the Iditarod. Unfortunately, our stay at the 7 Gables was a sour note. We wanted to stay somewhere close to the race headquarters where, mainly, we could rest between activities. We arrived Sunday, we had to be at the staging area by 5am Monday and booked an extra night (Monday night) so we could get some rest before our flight out tuesday morning at 1:50 am. The problem we had was the noise. We were unable to get any sleep for the entire time we were there. Sunday night - all night - there was noise from above our room. It sounded like someone rolling furniture or something heavy around, loud heavy footsteps, and loud talking. I am not exaggerating when I say this went on the entire night. We got no sleep except a few restless minutes between the banging, stomping and talking. Monday evening we hoped to get some rest before our late night flight. From 7pm until we left at about midnight, the same thing went on (except for no talking this time). Rolling of furniture or rocks or something and loud footsteps went on all evening. The response of the owner was to blame us for not complaining at the time. However, there was no way for us to complain during the middle of the night. The next morning we got up very early to work as volunteers for the Iditarod restart and left before anyone was up.... Except the people above us who apparently never went to sleep. (We now wonder if it was it a guest or an owner/staff staying above us?). We did not complain the following afternoon because we only had a few hours before our flight and simply wanted to get some sleep. We were exhausted from no sleep and working all day. What good would complaining at that point have done? We hoped that the evening would be quieter and we could get some rest. Sadly we were wrong. In response to our request for a partial refund, the owner compared the request to asking for your money back after "enjoying a steak dinner." Ha! A better analogy would be to having paid for a steak dinner and being served a pile of inedible crap. Do yourself a favor and either stay at a nice motel for the same money or look for a better B&B. read more

love the feel of locally owned business that takes Pride and it's work. Felt comfortable connecting with staff. I booked a stay here to have a getaway here in my own town. Enjoyed being able to use the large pool and space all to myself. Granted it wasn't much of a retreat because I needed to get some work done. Nevertheless I would come back to stay here for another getaway. read more

They tried charging my card for $100 for damages. I wouldn't mind if they had the audacity to charge it while I was with them and coherent. It didn't work. So they looked through my jacket/ wallet and "found" another card, so they decided to charge that card. When confronted about it, they said they had found the items on the ground outside. My cards do not fall out of my wallet, especially the way that I put them in. They even turned off my phone. Had it wrapped in a paper. They only returned the cards they charged, "found" read more

I was to stay at the 7 Gables/International Hostel for 4 nites in July, 2013. When I arrived, the lady in charge had no record of my reservation and practically called me a liar. I produced the receipt/confirmation, and she begrudgingly told me I could stay one nite but had to leave the next morning because they were booked. I was made to feel quite unwelcome. The room was nothing special, and I had trouble sleeping, not expecting this hassle my first nite in Fairbanks. On a positive note, when I first walked in, there was a group of residents gathered in the ample living room area, discussing their adventures of the day. They welcomed me warmly, and I thought I was in for a pleasant experience. Imagine my surprise when the nasty woman showed up, blaming me for ruining her day. The next day I was told by her husband that there were 10 rooms coming available in the Hostel (a separate building next door), but the damage was done. I ended up going to Sven's Basecamp Hostel for the balance of my stay, which was excellent, one of the best places I've stayed during all my travels. read more

BEWARE! Then innkeeper charged us the same rate for two completely different rooms . One being a suite with about 800 sq feet and the other room up 2 flights of stairs that was like a room in an attic and about 250 square feet. After complaining to the owner, she could not explain why she charged the same rate for each room. We were not the only unhappy guests. read more

Although there is somehow a dearth of Yelp reviews, 7 Gables Inn and Suites suffers a universally negative reputation among those in Fairbanks. When talking to people around the city, it does not take long to find someone with a strikingly negative story involving 7 Gables. I only discovered the bad reputation after having my own negative experience there. I rented a (defective) canoe from 7 Gables and interacted with Paul Welton, the proprietor. He was very accommodating to my schedule, which was great. When I got to his place he was a bit scattered (I repeatedly could not find him around his own house, as he would disappear), but I was just renting a canoe - I didn't need the best customer service, especially understanding that this is a mom & pop B&B. He showed me where he stored his canoes for rent. He said one was fiberglass and therefore bad for me, one had a hole so wasn't good for obvious reasons, one was too long for me, etc. I just asked him for whatever he recommended, so he gave me a 15' canoe with a hole in it. At this point, I believe that no one knew there was a hole in it. An employee dropped me and the canoe off on the Chena River, 50 miles away a few days' float into town. Within a short time on the river it was clear that there was a slow leak into the canoe. Being in the woods and having rare road access points, I camped out and tried to patch the hole, determined to finish the float into town. It eventually became clear that my efforts to repair were not working, and I had to stop the boat every 20 minutes and tip the boat over to empty it of water. My feet, my legs, and my gear was continually resting in inches of cold Chena River water. On my second morning (third day) I spotted a road access/boat launch, so I pulled onto shore and went up to the road. With such poor cell reception, I had to hitchhike about 20 miles to the nearest gas station where I called Paul, eager for him to either bring me a new canoe or pick me up along with his defective canoe. This is when things got bad, although some normal customer service could have smoothed over my negative experience. I told Paul that his canoe had a hole in it and that I had hitchhiked to a gas station to call him. He told me that there was no hole in the canoe and was immediately aggressive and argumentative. This is when I decided that I did not want a replacement canoe from him at all; I would find another rental company when I got back into town. Rather than apologize for renting me a defective canoe and offering to replace it or pick me up, he condescendingly sneered that he would come get me for a charge, if I needed to be "rescued" by his "taxi service." Rescued, mind you, from continuing on a boat with a hole that he rented to me. Also, it would take "a few hours," perhaps many hours, and he could give no estimate and refused to call me back when he had an update on timing. He eventually sent someone to pick up the canoe (Paul had not told his employee to look for me at the gas station from which I called, although Paul and I agreed that he would pick me up there). I called Paul in the days that followed to see how he wanted to handle my payment. He did not return my message, but I was eventually able to speak with him when he answered the phone himself. The way he saw it, I should pay full price for the rental and transportation, he should keep my security deposit, and I actually owed him more money to replace the canoe. I offered him the price of the rental as an olive branch; he told me that he would no longer speak to me, and then he hung up the phone. I am currently pursuing action through my credit card's fraud department and the Better Business Bureau. I could not advise avoiding this establishment strongly enough. Save yourself a headache and do business with the many fantastic Fairbanks companies. That city is full of generous and accommodating people. read more

My experience was an absolute nightmare. Upon arrival, caretakers were nowhere in sight, I waited 20 minutes for someone to show up to check me in, and when I finally met Paul, he was hurried, bothered, and clueless. Definitely not what the website made this place out to be, indoor waterfall doesn't even work, that place was a joke and so was the management. The first building I was in looked like a scene from hoarders, couldn't even breathe in there. The second unit I went to was a construction site, I felt like I needed a hard hat just to enter. It was another 20 minutes of wandering around trying to find my room, and when I finally did, it was disgusting, almost brought me to tears, the sheets they made the bed with were previously used as drop cloths while painting, so there was old dried up paint all over the linen on rickety bed I was expected to sleep in, I didn't last more than 2 hours in that ghetto dump. It was uncomfortable and I didn't feel safe. Management was unorganized, unprofessional, and unpleasant. Don't waste your time, breath, or money, this place doesn't even deserve one star! read more

Is there any possible way to give NO stars ? Anyhoo, what a run down , disgusting shit hole. Can I say shit on Yelp? Idk but I did. I was there for 11 day with NO room service what so ever. After day 3 they did drop off a bag of clean towels and sheets but that was all ! There were so many issues with the apt. I rented. If the fire department would inspect they would put a " inhabitable" sticker on the front door. Hoe does this place continue to operate legally ? Seriously ? There were outlets that were not attached so when I tried to plug my phone into the wall, it just...well... Kept going. The outlets wasn't secured at all. The stove was from 1971 an was disgusting and missing 2 of the knobs. The peephole in the door was missing and was replaced by a piece of tissue. Some general maintenance would do wonders for that place. The driveway into my apt was just dirt so when I rained it was a muddy mess which it rained for almost all the time. They had a bunch of dopers next door up high and causing issues all night. The water !!!! OMG, how about f u c k i n g nasty ! I took the screens off the faucets because the water was spraying 3 different ways. Half the light bulbs didn't work. I stopped by the office to pay and the owners were fighting about a tenant whom supposably damaged a bed. Well "he" had reimbursed them for there deposit and she when off claiming it hadn't been damaged prior. After seeing the "vintage" furniture and the condition it was in, I'm sure it was already broken and the bitch who owners the crack joint was trying to get extra money. Why doesn't the fire department or police or whomever make a safety walk around the place ? I could continue but my fingers are getting tired of typing. 2 thumbs down the this shit hole!!! read more

Never come to this hotel!!!!!Never!!!!!!!! I lost my Mac charger when I lived in this hotel. I called to get it back by delivery and paid for that. It's ridiculous that they sent an old, dirty iPad (iPad charger, not For Mac at all) charger to me and insisted it's what they found. I spend a bunch of time on this, lasting for two weeks. I asked for refund for the wrong delivery and the right charger but they just refused and said bad words. If you want to be safe and happy in your trip NEVER come here! read more

A rather eccentric place, in a way that some people might really like (us, not so much). Room was so crammed with massive furniture that it was hard to move around in, breakfast might have been good, but it was gone by the time we got to the dining room. The woman who runs the place is a bit tightly wound, though she makes awesome brownies. It wasn't unpleasant, but we were happy to move on when the time came. read more

My friend had a room here and they came up with a storage fee for locking his bikes up for 1 hour. They did not notify him of any storage fee prior to renting the room. #petty #poorservice #lostcustomer read more

The management of this place is about as shady as shady can get. Money comes first here and I advise not letting them know you are military or from out of town or they will attempt to milk you for your worth. As stated in another post, this business is actually split into 4 locations, 2 nearby, 1 near the Napa on Geist and a series of "cabins" behind the Blue Loon, two which are almost always under construction and the cabins are unkempt, in disrepair and home to a few squatters. The disrepair was so bad that I actually could not find the entrance to one of them because of the overgrowth. The owner comes off as a friendly, religious fellow to get people to see his way but cannot justify the high prices for such low quality, unsafe rooms that can easily run into thousands(average about $500ish a week, other rooms and suites can run more) and like with other posts, will fight tooth and nail for any sort of refund. read more

My wife and I spent one night in Fairbanks at 7 Gables on July 16, 2014. Without a smartphone it'd be hard to find, and when we first drove up, we were put off. It looks a bit like Hogwarts. But the place is immaculately clean, and the owner was very helpful and courteous. His co-owner (also his wife) is a devoted cook, and the morning breakfast demonstrates that. It was delicious. We only stayed one night, but only because that's all the time we had. I'd have enjoyed spending a few days in Fairbanks, and at the 7 Gables. Great place! read more

WoW July 6 2014 on a business trip! We had a great room, very clean. Our Host was kind and full of knowledge. Local Dining within walking distance was affordable with great food and service.

I knew that it would be an interesting experience when I first rolled up in the cab. On the side of the road was a sign that said 7 Gables Inn, I was excited that I was at my destination. Then I looked up and I saw where I was staying, it was like going back to the Renaissance. Actually a better description would be a colossal house from the Shire in Lord of The Rings. I got my bags from the back of the cab, paid the driver and walked inside the building. I couldn't find the area where check in was at. There wasn't even a sign posted. I walked to the first door that I saw, luckily it was the door that lead to the check in. The lady that welcomed me was beyond annoying. She was nice, but a little to nice. She laughed at every little thing she said and I was going crazy. Her laugh echoed throughout the whole dang building. She gave me my key and I practically ran up to my room. All I wanted to do was lay down and relax after a long days travel. There was a nice TV that hung upon the wall so I decided to flip through the channels. There was absolutely nothing worth watching. So all night I laid in bed and practically stared at the wall. At this time of the year it was still light out until 2 or 3 in the morning so I didn't even sleep, I was too focused on getting out of this solitary confinement. Around 7 I woke up and headed to the shower. Just my luck, when I went to turn the shower on there was no hot water. Not only was there no hot water but the water was partially yellow. By this time I was having mixed emotions, I was stressed because I was on my own, I was tired from lacking sleep, I was extremely upset that I paid $100+ to stay in a place that lacked hot water, didn't have curtains for the room I was in and the water wasn't clean enough looking to drink. I headed down the hall to where breakfast was at. It smelled delicious, surprisingly. There was a small selection of things to eat, so I settled for some stale corn flakes and a cup of coffee. When I went to put my bowl away I got yelled at for putting it in the sink. The lady said I was "doing her job." Which wasn't the case at all, I was just being polite and I was so rudely scorned. I decided to head back to my room, pack up all my stuff and leave. I've never been so happy to leave somewhere in my life. read more

I think this place oh, so so. The house is interesting, and the staff, well, they have their faults, certainly. I think the collective kitchen is the best thing they offer, but the area near the sink is oh, so nasty under. The breakfast is oh, so so. I really think the owner should order Subway sandwiches and brew some coffee, with orange juice. That's better than what they served me. Other reviews noted shady characters nearby, on site. Agreed. But that seems to be something I found in Fairbanks. I found lots of shady characters, even on the airplane coming over. Did not like that, and I am a well-traveled person. read more

This place is disgusting. I showed up late with my wife. We were greeted by a man Paul, claiming to own the Hotel. At first our keys didn't work and then we finally got them to work. We laid on the bed and noticed we had a family of mice living in our mattress. The rooms weren't clean, and the floor mats in the bathroom were still wet. When I called the front desk there was no answer and then finally I got through and the man laughed and said that that's normal in Alaska. I beg to differ, and so did my wife... she was already sitting in the rental car. After an hour the owner Paul showed up with a even older mattress that smelled like urine. At this point we were so tired and needed somewhere to lay down that we ended up sleeping on the mattress. Then we were awoken by the sounds of construction starting at 6:30 in the morning. And the smell of cigarettes. We again saw the owner Paul and he was yelling at one of his workers. I will never stay at 7 Gables Again and I encourage you to do the same. read more

Never ever try this place! I have traveled in three of the five continents and stayed in 11 countries, rich and poor nations alike. Never did I ever had an experience that I state here. We were two educators flying in from North Carolina. My friend booked this property after seeing the excellent pictures of rooms and amenities. We booked through booking.com. When we reached the property, we were told to show our confirmation from Booking.com, which we did. The lady who helped us check in was given our id and she gave us a studio room not in the main property but one that was 300 meters farther from it. We checked in to find the cold mosaic floor with a TV not properly connected and an additional bed that looked shabby and as if someone has slept on. We called around 10:30 pm and asked for a new sheet to put on so that one of us could sleep on. The Manager responded that he does not have the resources to bring one to us. The outside temperature was in the negative in the month of April 2018 and the concrete floor was colder to step on barefoot than the room could warm it. We decided to drive to his office to collect the sheet. The Manager refused to give us a sheet and told my friend that he does not have his credit card details. He told them that the card details were provided with booking.com to get us the confirmation email and number. We were on our way to see Northern Lights and told him that we would return as we were busy trying to get back before it got too cold. We thought we could talk to Booking.com in the meantime to resolve the card issue too. We spoke to booking.com and complained about the service. On return to the room, we were shocked to find two of our suitcases missing. When we reached the office, the Manager admitted that he got into our room and got two of our luggages thinking that we would escape in the middle of the night without paying. We were speechless for a moment that he was doing this to guests who have booked through Booking.com and not to some last minute walk-ins. He wanted card details irrespective of whether we wanted to stay in that very same dirty studio room or not. We decided to pay and he returned our luggage. He had the resource to get our luggage from the room without our permission but did not have the resource to give us a sheet to cover the unkempt bed. We sought another hotel at 2:30 AM in the morning to catch some sleep. I would never ever recommend this Inn to any of my friends. Please do not trust their pictures. Places like this should not even figure in respectable sites like Booking.com or Trip Advisor in the first place!! read more

Oh my goodness. My husband and I needed a place to stay for several weeks as we are in transition - leaving Alaska for Montana. We went to this place and rented a 1 bedroom downstairs apartment. They charged us $500 for the week. The place was absolutely filthy - because of the time of year, mud or dirt on the floor would be acceptable but there was stuff on the floor that hadn't been cleaned up from the previous occupants. The place smelled horrid. The refirgerator had dried blood in the meat drawer. The cupboard had a big pile of salt or sugar in it. Drawers in the kitchen and bathroom did not open properly. The sheets on the bed did not look like they had been cleaned from the previous occupants as there was hair on them. When I mentioned this to the proprietor she said they absolutely had been clean. The upstairs neighbors had a dog that ran around all night which you could easily hear through the floor. Then they were moving furniture around quite frequently through that 16 hours we were there. It was an absolutely horrid experience that I hope no one ever has to experience. Do not walk but run away from 7 gables inn & suites as it is a slum. read more

We found the Inn while planning a 2 week trip to Alaska. When we arrived we found it was not as we expected from the written description. However we found it very enjoyable despite the differences and the breakfast was far more than what was expected. We would warn potential guests that there may be a multi-flight climb to their room (not an issue for us but unexpected); that smokers frequently smoke outside their rooms - creating clouds of smoke you can smell - making long and loud phone calls outside (again because they can't smoke in the rooms). Our hostess was very helpful and eager to help, but arrival/ registration into an unoccupied group area was pretty confusing. read more
