we loved the rustic feel of the place - the gardens and plants around the facility were well kept and beautiful the art collection was amazing! I'm sure they get tons of visitors so carpets need some updating but the volume must wear them down quickly

The property was amazing. The staff, with the exception of one person on the front desk, was extremely helpful and friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. No complaints there. The was on young lady that was on duty during our check in that was very rude. For instance, when we asked for the easiest way to walk along the river, she thrust a map at my wife and said “Here”. No other response. My sister in law got a similar response later when she went to ask a question. Other than one rude employee, we had a great stay and would recommend this location for anyone staying in Fairbanks.

Great hotel, however it is absurd in 2025 to not provide daily housekeeping at these prices. They also refused a request for a one hour late check out on a multi-day stay saying “we don’t do that here.” That’s a first.

Diappointed in Fairbanks

Staff is very friendly. However, the hotel is very dated. The bathroom is very small and difficult to get out of the shower. There is no continental breakfast and the buffet is $18.95. I asked if there was a restaurant nearby because I hated paying so much for a meal that I didn’t want much. No other options! Clearly this place needs a makeover

We love Pike’s! Totally off the charts Alaskan kitsch. It borders on the absurd but always stays JUST inside the line. Have stayed there many times over the years for work and family trips. Excellent Alaskan regional Art (Fejes, DeRoux, Matchetanz, etc.) and … ducks, stuffed dead animals, ice cream and neon! What’s not to love? Stay here. It is not another anonymous tourist hotel. On the river, plenty beer, ice cream, and bocce. You will have a story to tell when you get home.
