“What do you expect?”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2008

I've stayed at the GoldRush Inn many times, most likely about 300 nights or so over the last five years. You get what you pay for, bottom line. It's run by the military and they are not out to make a profit. I actually know quite a few people that have worked there and they are basically just scrapping by. They are providing a service for you.

Stay in town if you want, but if you can I would stay at the Goldrush if you are working on Eielson.

In the Summer any hotel, even the crappy Super 8 in town which I've stayed at and is worse than the Goldrush, is at least $180.00. The Sprinhill Suites in the Summer is $250.00.

The Goldrush is $28.00. It's not as bad as the other person makes it sound.

“What a dump”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 March 2008

What a dump. Don’t even think about staying here. Very dated facility, 1960s. Three story building with elevator. Poor lighting in room. Lobby, elevator and hallways had unpleasant odor. Not very welcome feeling when walking in the door at 2:30am. Long flight from Dallas, TX. No Internet except maybe in lobby using their computers. Cold and unpleasant and I was there in October. I would hate to think how miserable it would be in January at -40 below. What really ticked me off was when I asked to have a light replaced in the fixture over the bed, the facility person did it and tracked mud all over the bedspread. He got right on the bed in muddy shoes to change the blub and didn’t even clean up. Ugh. I moved the next day to the Spring Hill Suites in downtown Fairbanks. That was a huge change for the better to a Marriott property in a great location in the center of town. Only 25 minute drive to the base from Fairbanks. Ft Wainwright [US Army] is about 10 minute drive from Spring Hill Suites.
