The Fairview Inn

The Fairview Inn is a historic hotel and bar in Talkeetna! Definitely worth spending a night at and getting a drink/listening to live music! It is centrally located so extremely easy to walk to other shops, restaurants, bars, and the museum in town.

Convenient but make sure live music isn’t playing, it’s loud. Cute 100 year old building right in center of town!

Location and cleanliness

The stay was great and just as expected! Very comfortable bed—no frills but I wasn’t looking for that. Loved being in the middle of Talkeetna with food and entertainment just steps away. Would suggest better privacy/light blocking curtains or roller shades for the windows though. Staff was very helpful.

Great location and fact that is historic site.

There was no mosquito protection, and we were literally eaten alive overnight. I have no idea where they were coming from, even though the window was closed. On the first night, music from the bar below our room played until midnight, and on the second night until 3 a.m. Keep in mind that there is a bar underneath, which is part of the town’s nightlife.

It really feels like you are sleeping on top of a saloon in the wild west.

No cable TV, shared bathrooms.

Just wonderful. Really comfortable bed (which is what you want if you're doing a lot of hiking). Historical building, with the oldest bathroom in Talkeetna (with a plaque to memorialize it). Check in at the bar downstairs, a great place to meet the locals (and their good looking dogs), on site restaurant. Note: there is no elevator, you have to bring your bags up the steep flight of stairs yourself. Loved it, would definitely stay again.

Location

Nice area with plenty to do.

This is a great place to stay if you don’t mind sharing the bathroom. The place is super clean and the people who run it are incredibly nice. Location is perfect! Right on the main road and heart of this little town.
