4.0 out of 5Great for a low-key stay!

I would definitely return here to stay in Fairbanks. Great value for someone who does not need all the bells and whistles of a larger hotel, and needs a good safe clean quiet place to crash. 1.) the food is definitely not gourmet, as many people did mention in reviews, but there was a good protein option each morning, like eggs or a crepe with salmon, as well as coffee whenever you want (from a Keurig), cereal, granola, yogurt, etc. Having breakfast here did save me like $10-15 per day that I'd have spent in a cafe. 2.) It is a bit awkward that the owners seem to live there-- I walked in on a family dinner when I arrived and was alarmed, but mostly due to travel tiredness. But if you can get past that awkwardness, then all's well. I found the owners nice and helpful. 3.) The room was clean and warm, and the place was very quiet. 4.) From my research it seemed a much better value than anywhere else in the Fairbanks and had a convenient location as long as you have a car.

Interesting place. Had to wander through the place to find the hidden doorbell to ring for the "night manager" at 4pm to check in. We had our dogs with us, so stayed in the "pet-friendly" property which was a nice little suite - in the basement of a different property. A little creepy going in, but the room was clean. They did charge a pet fee of $10, not free like the other reviews claimed (still cheaper than anyone else in town).

I gave very high marks for this B&B. They were so attentive to every need. If I asked a worker for something, the owner knew about it and addressed the request before I even knew she was the proprietor. Leicha went to extra lengths to track down a newspaper article that had run a few days before we arrived. The place is huge yet modest. We were indeed comfortable in our room and felt very safe in the facility as well as the neighborhood.
4.6 out of 5Great time in Fairbanks!

We were looking for a nice little get away in town and found 7 Gables, Loved the Condo suite and the double bath. A great time all around.
4.2 out of 5Heading back again....
June 15, 2011
I am planning my third stay at 7 Gables. It's conveniently located between the airport and the university, not to mention that it is economical and restful.
4.0 out of 5Nice stay on the edge of town
July 26, 2010
We had a very nice large room with a great bathroom. The room and bathroom was tastefully decorated and very clean. The breakfast was very tasty, though it was more of a continental style where we made our own waffles or had cereal, along with a quiche and muffins that they had made.
