Pros:
-Great property-- lots of amenities in the hotel (internet room, workout room, sauna) and many things for the kids to see in the hotel and on the property (lots of Alakskan art, "duck hotel", greenhouse, etc.)
-Got a good deal on a room with a fridge/microwave (check their website, they do have weekend specials in the ...

The hotel is close to the Fairbanks Airport which is practically across the street from the Lodge. During cruise ship season, this Lodge and Princess Fairbanks Lodge are fairly full as the two are almost next to each other. There is an ice cream parlor next to the lodge with a Douglas Company DC-6 on the roof but I didn't buy anything though. I ...

We were there in Aug. 06 as part of a land/cruise package. It was our first time in Alaska, what a treat! Good food, very clean, very friendly. Checked in in the early am. and got to see the Northern Lights!
The staff was willing to wake us up to see the lights again--but they did not come out again.Very close to the airport, a van was there to ...

Warm hotel where the owner often is in the lobby greeting guests and making people feel welcome. Amazing collection of Alaska art in lobby. Workout room has three new cardio machines plus a tv to pass the time. Rooms have balconies--mine with a view of the Chena River, ducks and horses---and at night the Northern Lights. Complimentary ...

after a long and painful flight we landed
in fairbanks. noticed a tall handsome man standing by his
van,it was pikes!!yay. He had anticipated
our arrival and was the single most respectful hotel employee. he sympathized for us and took our bags after
seating us. this was all at 3:30 am so our
relief was great. he told us of fairbanks ...

It is not worth the money! Time of year is everything. Untrained/inexperienced staff definitely noticable. Food provided not up to par. Untrained management. Cannot keep track of bookings properly. Will most likely not get desired room.

We stayed here when we were attending my friend's wedding. While I admit the hotel was on the pricer end of things, it was still just inside tourist season (a point proven when we flew in with a Pricess Cruise group). The employees were very friendly, and they were most helpful with all the wedding planning. Beautiful scenery, and the bar and grill next door had good food for a reasonable price.

We stayed at Pike's because we were in town for my father in law's funeral and needed last minute accomodations. The first night we didn't arrive until 10 or 11 pm and they had no problem getting us a room at a reasonable price. We weren't sure if we would stay any additional nights (thought we may stay with relatives) so we ...

first place we visited on our cruise tour. rooms were very nice, and clean as well as the grounds. flowers were especially beautiful. food and service was excellent. buffet was maintained well. would go back. we also performed a wedding on the grounds with dinner afterwards in the landings.
