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!

Good music

Clean and quaint. We didn’t know that there’s a band playing downstair. They are kind enough to provide to provide us with earplugs.

Got what we paid for, except no TV.

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

Cool old bar with rooms above. Located in the heart of Talkeetna.

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.

What an amazing place to stay. Check in was very easy and convenient. The room was very clean, beds were comfortable. The staff was helpful and very friendly.
