The rooms were incredibly hot despite having the window open all night. Then I felt that they were nickel and diming me they were charging a $1 for coffee in the lobby but I guess I was most offended when a group of 6 of us wanted to go to a restaurant 2 miles away for dinner and they charged...

We stay at Pike's whenever passing through Fairbanks on our way to the villages for work. Nice rooms, their restaurant and bar are nice, and the experience is one of the best available for us. It's convenient to the airport, and when the weather is nice, have food and drinks outside is a joy. It is not near any shopping... More

Title says it all. Perfect for airport flights if you are flying out late. 5min shuttle ride. Good restaurant and very cool lobby.

I would not even pull up the covers, the bed was made but there were hairs (hoping the housekeeper had short curly hair) on the sheets and there was some spot with crumbs (have no idea what it was and didn't want to know) so slept on the far side of the covers. The room was HOT! I am not... More

This hotel was nice and clean. The staff were extremely friendly. The only thing we didn't like was all the dog poop outside all the doors and in the grass. You really couldn't walk without looking down... it was everywhere!

Thanks for your kind review. On the dog poop issue, while we do try to get pet owners to pick it up, they frequently don't. When the snow completely melts in the spring (April 28, this year), we clean it all up. Unfortunately, your stay coincided with the most unpleasant part of the dog poop residue. We apologize for that... More

We were there over the weekend in early April 2012. We brought our little Yorkie with us as they allow pets. They gave us a typical "Pets Allowed Room", which means they are usually the older rooms in the hotel. First thing I do in any hotel room is check the beds of course to make sure they are clean....

Stayed here last summer while on a 2500 mile driving trip through Alaska with our kids. Chose this place on the basis of the strong Trip Advisor reviews. Have to say I was disappointed in the property. It seemed dated and our room was not overly clean(bathroom floor looked dusty/dirty along the floorboard,etc). I would choose another hotel if I...

I stayed in Pikes Waterfront for a week. The staff were very professional and attentive. The breakfast is very good. The room that we stayed was very clean and the jacuzzi inside the room is nice. Certainly, when I go back to Fairbanks, I will stay there again.

I would definitely stay here again, and recommend to others! Minutes from the airport, with a free shuttle service, located right on the Chena River. You can use the shuttle to get around town for a nominal fee, if you aren't renting a car. But be aware you need to get out of town to see the Northern Lights. Excellent... More

Virtually at the airport, this hotel is unusually quiet . Out the back, is a bend in the river.. Bottom line: This doesn't feel like the typical airport hotel at all...just had an EXCELLENT hamburger at their restaurant, overlooking the half-frozen river, enjoying a beautiful sunset at 9;30 pm .Very serene and quiet . (Note; go by the sports bar,... More
