Why would you stay at a boring chain hotel when you can stay here? Such a unique place! We stayed in a room in the main lodge, but they have cabins and other accomodations, with more being built. Our room was "cozy" but clean, comfortable, and everything was in good condition. In addition, there's so much to do here! There's a sledding hill, an Aurora theatre, a heated Aurora viewing room, fire pits (you can get s'mores kits there or bring your own) and they are constantly adding something new. Not to mention a great included breakfast (at least when we were there in the winter). And the staff couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. They'll even call you if the Aurora are active. The shuttle is free, and available 24/7. Also, you would think that you might hear the airplanes being so close to the airport, but I never heard them once in the week we were there. I ever find myself in Fairbanks again, I will definitely be back.

We came to chase the northern lights for a week, and Pikes was a good base for us to do that. Everything you need is close at hand and it's a nice comfy facility. If we come up next year to do the same thing we would definitely stay there again

We stayed in a cabin and the location was quiet and private. Wifi was not too reliable, and amenities were good too. Some things could’ve been cleaner but we liked the convenience of breakfast airport transfers included

It’s a nice place with a number of things to see and do on site. Unfortunately if you don’t have a car you’re stuck with their dining choice. Breakfast was great. But dinner and lunch menu is limited and expensive.

Awesome place to stay in Fairbanks when chasing auroras. Super close to the airport making it easy to manage rental cars. Breakfast is fab ! Evening icecream is fun and in general a great place to park your stay.

TV and blow dryer didnt work. After notifying the front desk, they brought me a blow dryer and fixed the TV. People in the hallways were pretty loud. Bed was not that comfortable. Also, the restaurant closed at 10 and there was not much around for late night eats which was disappointing.
