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

One of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed in, in years. The bed was comfortable and I got whiffs of bleach. It made me smile knowing it was clean. And the breakfast was delicious. I thought it was going to be a continental breakfast; no, a full breakfast. Décor was modern and well done. Wonderful stay.

Booked thru expedia and chose prepaid option several weeks in advance. Showed up at hotel and they had no record of a reservation so they had no management on site and made we wait a long time until someone finally showed up to fix the mistake. They did not apologize and the manager would not even come out from the back to explain why this happened. I have stayed at Pikes several times and have told many other business associates about them but will not stay here again after this happened.

The team went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. I felt very welcomed here. We stayed here one night prior to our Princess Cruisetour and wished we could have stayed here rather than the Princess Lodge. The amenities were amazing. Loved the reindeer. This place had a fitness room that actually worked and was open during our stay. The hot breakfast in the morning was so nice. I didn't feel like I was being charged for every extra from Pike's. Being able to play a game of pool as well was an unexpected bonus.
