We had a great time in Alaska Feb 2025. Pike’s was convenient to the airport and all of our excursions picked up from Pike’s. The hotel was clean and had a great restaurant next door. There were fun things to do around the property.

This was really a nice hotel and stay was good. Breakfast was awesome: good food and multiple food options hot and cold. We ate 1 meal in the restaurant and the food and service was good. We rode the shuttle from the train station and to the airport which was very convenient. Also rented a car from Alaska auto and we picked the car up at the hotel and drop off was at the hotel. So convenient and easy process. All done online! Will definitely stay here again next time I’m in Fairbanks

We were there for a week, loved the property and amenities, art, etc., even the pop-up restaurant was good. I was not happy with the 4-day room cleaning schedule, One of my favorite things about hotels is coming back to a fresh room. I was glad they switched out towels daily, but coming at 8:15 on the 3rd morning of a 7 day stay was not appreciated, and I did not like the expectation of a tip for housekeeping with such limited service. We will stay there next trip with lowered expectations

Couple retreat was very disappointing

This hotel had a very "kid camper" vibe.. which was not listed in the description. It was catered to kids- cartoon posters and signs everywhere - extremely cluttered. We chose a cabin vs a hotel room - (it was a very tiny space). it touted a billiard room- my husband is an avid pool player (it was under construction upon arrival), a restaurant (which was closed due to a fire) and placement to airport due to timing of flights. Won't be back or recommend.

Everything was 5-stars! My only critiques involved the room condidtions. The cleaning staff was incredible and kept everything looking spiffy. The only problems were that the walls are rather thin, so i could hear my neighbors when I had them; and the shower head was barely functional and in need of replacement. Thank you for taking such good care of me while I stayed.
