We had a great time in Alaska Feb 2025. Pike’s was convenient to the airport and all of our excursions picked up from Pike’s. The hotel was clean and had a great restaurant next door. There were fun things to do around the property.

This was really a nice hotel and stay was good. Breakfast was awesome: good food and multiple food options hot and cold. We ate 1 meal in the restaurant and the food and service was good. We rode the shuttle from the train station and to the airport which was very convenient. Also rented a car from Alaska auto and we picked the car up at the hotel and drop off was at the hotel. So convenient and easy process. All done online! Will definitely stay here again next time I’m in Fairbanks

We had an enjoyable stay at Pikes. There was a fire next door, which limited our meals, but only for a short period of time, a day or so. They brought it into the lodge with a very good limited menu, where we enjoyed lunch and dinner. The halibut and chips were delicious!!! Considering that most people staying here in the winter are there for the Northern Lights, it would be nice if there was a brunch option available to purchase. Housekeeping doing their rounds first thing after getting "home" at 2/3a.m. was also a little annoying. We had the privacy sign on the door so we could sleep, and it seemed like after 10 a.m., housekeeping was no longer available, so we didnt get a cleaning until I asked after 4 days and even then, our toilet rolls and coffee items were not replenished. If you're there in the winter months, always call before you head out for a meal. We paid $20 for an Uber, only to get there, and the restaurant didn't open until later. We then had to stand in the cold, call another Uber, and find somewhere to go............. $$$$ Overall, we had a good stay and would stay again.

The location is very good , close to the airport and city center . The free shuttle to and from airport is great . Rooms are clean . The bed is comfortable and cabins are more romantic than the main building. The only thing that needs improvement is the breakfast . The restaurant close to the hotel is a good one .
