Pros: coffee in room is good. Water pressure good. Nice workout room. Great TV and toiletries. Close to airport. Cons: For $200 a night, you'd think breakfast would be included (it was $18 pp). Workout room was 85 degrees, so could not use it. Bed slightly saggy. Far from downtown/places to eat (but downtown isn't that nice....so....). Chipped paint in... More

Months before starting our trip, we reserved a room on the 3rd floor, facing the river, in the main lodge building. We were told that this was the best room location to see the aurora. When we arrived, we were informed that our room selection had not been reserved for us. Instead, we were placed in a log cabin separate... More

Pike's is a clean, well decorated, cozy place to stay in Fairbanks, AK. The staff was helpful and friendly. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well equipped for a multiple day stay if needed. The breakfasts were excellent, though there was some confusion by the staff as to how late the breakfast would be served on one day. I missed... More

I spent the past weekend at the Lodge to attend a convention. My room had a beautiful view of the Chena River and I got to watch the ducks and even 4 swans swim past the Lodge. The free breakfast was great with make-it-yourself waffles, fruit, pastries, and several choices of cereal. I loved the free chocolate chip cookies and... More

Thank you for taking the time to write. We are glad that you enjoyed the various features of the hotel including the aromatherapy. We are installing a Bocce Ball court this summer and hope that you can play it this summer! Sorry about your service issue at Pike's Landing. It's a great place to watch the river roll by in... More

Pike's Waterfront Lodge is just a great place to stay, very Alaskan, as are we, and a very friendly atmosphere. We had reservations for a Friday and Saturday night stay, which included their wonderful complimentary breakfast, a nice selection of healthy foods along with some delicious pastries. Coffee service is available in the lobby and delicious cookies in the late... More

Thanks for your review and for mentioning the cookies! We have them all winter long along with the free ice cream in the evening from 6-8 pm in the lobby. In the summer, we offer free putting overlooking the Chena River and free Rock Throwing (one of our most popular attractions given the volume of rocks that we go through).... More

Pikes is at a great location in Fairbanks - beautiful setting right on the water. The hotel is pleasant, if a bit kitschy at times. My only real complaint is that the mattresses are awful! The sag and are worn out. They seriously need to be updated. All said though, a good value, and I love that they offer Aveda... More

I'm running a little behind in this review. We stayed here in August as part of a RCCL Cruisetour and it was a fabulous experience. My first room was facing the parking lot but upon request we were assigned a new room overlooking the lake/river at the rear if the property. Terrific little bar, very comfortable surroundings perfect for shoreline... More

Stayed here for a weekend outdoors show. Great price, decent rooms. Fitness center was very nice, and the service was very good as well. Rate included breakfast, which was a bit limited, but a nice perk nonetheless.

I recently coordinated a small professional development workshop at Pike's Waterfront Lodge and Pike's set the stage for an excellent event. From the initial planning with hotel personnel in both catering and reservations, all aspects of organizing for this event were easy accomplished. Once the conference took place, attendees were delighted by riverfront view accommodations. The Binkley Room - large,... More

Thank you for the compliments for our meeting services. Ursula, the Catering and Food Service Director, does a superb job. I agree with you that the rooms and food are top notch. We offer special activities if our groups want. For example, during the summer, we have free putting and Bocce ball for group bonding. Deborah More

We stayed here for a night in March while trying to catch the Aurora Borealis. Our room was affordable, clean, service was good. The art in the main lodge area was my favorite thing. And they offered us free ice-cream! I would stay here again.
