City or Chena valley?
The hot-springs resort is outside the city. Check the property location and transport before treating it as an airport or downtown overnight.
Fairbanks travel guide
Fairbanks is an Interior extension, not a short detour on the coastal route. Compare a city night with a separate Chena Hot Springs stay, and choose the season for the experience.

Choose the season for the experience
Long summer days suit travel and outdoor time. Aurora viewing needs darkness and suitable conditions; it is not a promise attached to a summer hotel.
An extension to the main route
Neither starting route visits Fairbanks. Add actual travel days and accommodation rather than inserting it between coastal bookings. [6]
