"We had a very pleasant stay - the staff was very helpful and the hotel was excellent…a good stop on our holiday."  - August 2012 - Rorgaard, Silkeborg, Denmark

"I stayed at the Bridgewater Hotel, which was only about a block from the church at which I performed for a wedding. The staff was courteous, and accommodated my needs. The room was clean and quiet, and the breakfast wonderful. These Fountainhead Hotel properties are soooo excellent! The Bridgewater is near downtown, which is fun for browsing and dining, and not too far from shopping. And the price! Best in Fairbanks during summer! Thank you."  - August 2012, Venetie

"What a charming way to spend a few days in Fairbanks. The rooms were lovely, and the personnel friendly and helpful. I would recommend the Bridgewater to anyone. Thanks for a great stay!"  - July 2012,New Mexico

 
"Excellent stay. Wonderful people and that is no surprise with the superb attitude displayed by the manager. We were three couples, spent two nights and all aspects of our stay was outstanding."  - July 2012, Wasilla

"This was my first stay at Bridgewater. I am typically in Fairbanks 4 to 5 days each month. This is an older hotel yet very clean and the hospitality was above par."  - July 2012, Chugiak

"Best customer service experience ever. Hands down. - My wife and I got married in Fairbanks in September and Buzzy Chiu and her staff added to the perfect experience. From helping us arrange welcome baskets, to always being on call and helping us coordinate our guests, to the general manager herslf driving a couple friends to the airport, they went out of their way to ensure an unbelievable time and wonderful experience, shared by all. The hotel is charming, with beautiful, well-kept rooms. And it's in a great part of town for fun downtown walks. We cannot recommend this place enough, and plan on being back in the summer to say hello."  - February 2012
 
"I had a wonderful stay at the Bridgewater Hotel. The location couldn't be beat for seeing the downtown area. The room was clean, warm and plenty of hot water for the shower. The free trolley service was outstanding. It stopped at all the major sights and conveniences such as Fred Meyer area. I didn't have to have a rental car at all. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others that are staying in Fairbanks."  - September 2011

"Got into Fairbanks and wasn't sure where to stay. Checked around and found the prices at the Bridgewater to be better than the big chains. What a pleasant surprise it was staying here. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the friendliest staff at the front desk we've ever encounted. They were very helpful with all our questions. We were originally going to stay 2 nights but ended up staying 4 and we were very glad we picked the Bridgewater from the start. They offer a VERY NICE breakfast in the hotel…we would stay here again in a heartbeat should we ever return to Fairbanks!!"  - August 2011

"Good value, convenient location. Fourth time I've stayed at the Bridgewater, best of Fairbanks' summer options. Rooms are clean and comfortable, good location, helpful front desk staff."  - August 2011

"Great location. This hotel is centrally located, adjacent to a Italian restaurant. Close to the ice museum and the information / museum center. They operate a bus that travels to various parts of the city and they also provide pick-up/delivery to the airport. Staff were helpful."  - August 2011

"Very pleasant stay. Location in the heart of the business district. Close to Pioneer Park and Carlson Center".  - July 2011

"The staff was awesome. I spent two nights here and although the hotel was fine, the staff made my stay spectacular! The Bridgewater is only open in the summer. The location downtown is very convenient. I was within five blocks of the post office, tourist shopping, downtown attractions, the Visitors Center and the local bus transit center. The Bridgewater is right across the street from the Chena River - there is a beautiful greenway for a couple of miles - a very pleasant walk! The hotel has a breakfast buffet, but it is right between two of the best restaurants in the city for lunch and/or dinner. The Bridgewater is an older hotel - basic - but the most reasonably priced, clean hotel in Fairbanks in the summer. If you want to be comfortable on a budget, this is your place. The staff was very friendly and helpful.The shuttle driver (15 minutes from the airport each way, free!) was terrific."  - July 2011

"Perfect location, awesome staff. The Bridgewater was such a welcome surprise. We spent 3 nights and would definitely stay there again. The hotel is clean and fresh, the staff were all very friendly, informative, and efficient. Buzzie did her best to make sure that we were comfortable in our room and helped us navigate around Fairbanks for both our business and tourist adventures. She is a true asset to the Hotel. The location is great…restaurants are within easy walking distance, the downtown area is quaint, and the ice museum is a must see."  - June 2011

" We loved staying at the Fountainhead Hotel. It is close to shops, restaurants and city buses. The staff was extremely helpful when one suitcase arrived late. Staying here was one of the highlights of our trip. Thanks so much."   - June 2011

"An older hotel, but clean and nicely updated inside. Great breakfast buffet!  Definitely stay there again."  -  June 2011

"Great place to stay. We planned on staying a few extra days in Fairbanks after our cruise and land tour. We had reservations at the Bridgewater. This hotel is located downtown with dining close by but what makes it a great place to stay is the staff. These folks went out of their way to help us when I became ill our last day. Service that we didn't find at the larger hotels we stayed at. The hotel has a free bus service that takes you to various shopping and tourist sites. Dining is close by and they have a great breakfast buffet. I would recommend this hotel to anyone headed to Fairbanks."  - June 2011

"We loved the hotel! Staff were friendly, and the hotel was in a lovely location on the Chena River. Additionally, what we especially enjoyed is the classiness of an older hotel, with the cleanliness of a new one. Lovely, lovely, lovely! Plus, the price was great. Thanks for a great experience on all fronts!"  - August 2010
