A quaint place but is above a bar but that might it was karaoke and was nice to listen to. Rooms clean, bathrooms shared but clean. Food options from various food trucks were good. We would stay here again.

Unique lodging option in hip Talkeetna— seven rooms, roadhouse style, with a must-see historic bar and music venue on the main floor below. The rooms are comfy and newly renovated. It’s an older building and the music carries, so this place isn’t for everyone— but if you want to be in the center of the action Fairview Inn can’t be beat!

Basic, somewhat spartan rooms, but clean. Bathrooms were great, particularly the showers. Price was very reasonable for Alaska, and Talkeetna is too cute for words. Gets a little loud at night due to the bar downstairs, especially on karaoke night, but they do provide earplugs in the rooms. Overall, a much nicer place than I was expecting or willing to tolerate in the middle of Alaska.

It was exactly as advertised. Room was over a busy local historic bar just as advertised and the owners went out of the way to insure the authenticity promised.

The Owner was outstanding - very gracious and service oriented. Excellent location - all of the staff were very hospitable - great dining options. Newly renovated - new air conditioning and heat pump was very efficient - would definitely stay at the Fairview Inh again

If you are a traveler who needs a good night's sleep don't stay here. If you want to stay up raving all night, do. There was no live music event the night we stayed so we were told it likely wouldnt be too loud..... By 12:30am we had given up and were trying to sleep in the car. We went back in when the bar said it was closing on its website (1:30) only to have the same ridiculously loud music playing beyond that time. At 1:55am I went down to ask when it would stop and was bluntly, and actually quite rudely informed it would end when the 'customers' left and that 'this is a bar you know' which made me realise the bar staff do not consider the overnight stay people as customers at all. Finally the noise ended at 2:10am. It's a shame as the bed was comfy, the room was perfectly clean and functional and the location is great, but it really is a bar first and foremost and just happens to have a few rooms upstairs. It is definitely not a place to book to stay for a relaxing, enjoyable evening.

The Fairview is ALWAYS a good time and we were so happy to see rooms open to stay in. Everything was clean and easy to access. It is NOT a place to stay if you are hoping to rest or get good sleep, and unfortunately we went to bed around 10pm. The free earplugs are necessary :)

We had so much fun at Fairview Inn, it was a perfect night. Courtney and Tonya were the bartenders, they were awesome. We had drinks, we danced then stayed the night. The rooms were cute and clean. The owner is really nice too. We will definitely be staying there again!!!

For weary travelers, those with kids and/or families, those seeking even a semi-decent overnight stay in what truly is a unique, quirky, cute little town, do NOT book this place. The establishment "caters" to a pretty specific crowd/demographic, and unless you "fit" into that niche, AVOID booking this place. Expedia!!, WHY don't you warn travelers before booking??? When someone books here, it is NON-REFUNDABLE. Their posting is deceiving at best, incorrect and nothing near honest on the whole. Rooms are TINY, have no TV, and the bar music BLASTS from just a few feet from the bottom of the stairs until 1-2AM! Sleep is next to impossible...and the noise is SOOOOOO bad that you can't even work on your computer! Check-in must be done at the BAR with dozens of people there drinking. We watched the bartend actually SITTING WITH patrons and DRINKING! VERY UNCOMFORTABLE check-in process. There is NOTHING in their posting about the music and true condition of the property. The live music--blues, according to the bartend when we were there--was little more than missed notes, voices screaming out of tune, and drunk people yelling and spurring it on. I travel quite a bit and usually provide reviews for food establishments. There is no food here (despite their posting)...but I couldn't NOT post this review for other travelers.
