The room is small and cozy, and there are room types specifically facing the Northern Lights. The hotel has a lot of free items, including a small movie theater that plays a loop introducing the Northern Lights, a wet and dry steam room that you can enjoy at any time 24 hours a day (you can enter by yourself with your room card), and a variety of ice creams for $1.50 each night.

I used it for one night. The free shuttle from the airport came in about 5 minutes when I called from the airport. I regret that my stay at the hotel was so short because I checked in late at night, and the next day I went sightseeing around the city and went to China Hot Springs in the evening. If I was lucky, I could see the aurora from my room, so I woke up several times during the night to check the sky from the balcony, but unfortunately I couldn't see it. Are there many other stuffed animals in the lobby and hallways? There are paintings, a small fitness room, and a sauna, so I would have liked to have stayed more.

Pike's lodge was very cozy and just down the road from the airport. When we first entered our room, I noticed some tracks were left on the floor from the previous guests. The water pressure was good, and if you had room 502 then the room will never get below 76🥵 degrees. There are a lot of elderly guests that stay there and guessing they are always cold so they crank the heat up in all their rooms which in by proximity and thermodynamics will heat your room as well. Had the thermostats set to 65 but never went below 76 degrees.

The hotel lobby is very distinctive, the decoration is not very new, but impressive

Great place to start our land tour/cruise adventure. The Shuttle Drivers are informative and helpful at getting you WHEREVER you need to go. Dinner at hotel restaurant was good/plentiful. Especially after a long flight. Property is cute and growing. I'd stay again if i ever venture to Fairbanks again.

We enjoyed our stay greatly at Pikes! We chose Pike's for its convenient location (5-10 minute drive from airport and downtown) and all the amenities it had to offer. It's located right alongside the Chena River and they have a viewing deck and firepits for aurora viewing, which we were able to catch on one night! Lots of amenities provided, though some of it is seasonal: 24/7 complimentary shuttle to and from the airport, free parking, complimentary breakfast (winter only), courtesy aurora wake-up call (just need to let them know the night of), an evening ice cream social ($1.50 per scoop), a library, a gift shop, a mini-theatre playing a video clip on aurora viewing, a gym, a restaurant next door, firepits, bocce ball courts, billiards & speakeasy (closed) and a dry sauna (unfortunately, was undergoing renovations when we went, but should be open by end of April). The place has a cozy feel to it, and you could probably spend all day just looking at all the artwork inside and outside of the lodge. Noise could potentially be an issue. Since it is near the airport, you could hear the planes flying overhead every now and then, but this was not an issue for us. Temperature of the room was comfortable. I cannot attest to the housekeeping services, but our room was clean when we arrived, and I saw the staff every day bustling about on the floors. They have blackout curtains too if you plan on napping during the day time. Overall, so glad we chose Pike's for our stay!

This was my Family vacation. First time to Alaska and our first stope was Fairbanks. Could not ask for a better place to start our vacation.
