Love Pike's waterfront lodge. There is a shuttle service to the airport at Any time! The staff is very friendly, the gift shop is open 24 hrs (next to the check in counter) and the prices were surprisingly reasonable. I loved the free continental breakfast especially the waffle maker (one of the amenities I look for in booking rooms). There are also cabins on site besides the hotel rooms. Love this place! I would definitely book again if given the opportunity.

Loved staying at Pikes! We initially only stayed here the day of our flights in and out of Fairbanks. But i would have stayed longer! Beds are comfy, room is warm (we went in late December), breakfast included, and plenty of activities even in the winter! We tried the billiards table, the short movie about auroras, fires outside at night, sledding hill, walk across river to the Love Alaska sign, etc. The best part is that they did a wake up call when they saw the Northern Lights and it was right there over the river and in the city. We could stay inside and be told when they were visible. They also have a complementary shuttle to and from the airport and some parking spots with engine plugs for the winter (not all spots do though). Had a great time!

I like those small cabins. Very nice and quiet. But staying there during the winter. Those salt rocks tracks in, and it gets the floor wet. Besides those rocks it was a nice stay. If you need anything? They’re right there in minutes. Thank you!

This hotel is so out of dated. I booked several days of stay because of the good reviews, however, very disappointed. I wanted to make very honest feedback, see pros and cons below. Pro: The best shuttle service. Anytime you need airport shuttle service, they are ready within 5 minutes. Cons: The front desk check in lady was not trained well to welcome guests. The hotel is so out of dated. Everyday the same breakfast. Both the steam room and sauna room were out of service during our stay (6 days in total), actually I think they’ve been out of service for a long time. While the guests pay for all the complementary services, the receptionist has no sort of any explanation for the facilities being out of service. This is not right. We required aurora call, they didn’t call when the aurora came. Also, to be aware, the WiFi is very poor. Overall, I don’t think the online 9.0+ positive reviews are true reviews. Just wanted to leave my honest feedback.

Had to wait until 5:30pm to check in… and we got there at 3:30. Didn’t offer us anything or apologize for the wait which was quite ridiculous. When we finally got our room they told us the wrong door so our key didn’t work. Finally found the right cabin and when we got in it was 58 degrees inside - it’s negative 15 outside!!! The cabins are also just trailers with logs lining the inside to look like a log cabin. There’s a very loud noise coming from the barely functioning heater too. Cold, terrible service, will not be staying another night.

Clean place to stay
Great free breakfast off season (not free during season). Convenient free shuttle service to and from the airport, but not anywhere else. Nightly $1.50 per scoop ice cream social. Nice location, great staff, and clean. Just would suggest a bigger closet with full length hanging if they remodel rooms as the drawers below were a waste of space.
