The steam room and sauna was very nice. The hotel overall had a unique gold rush time period feel that was interesting. The hotel wasnt super modern or overly updated but thats a little bit of what I liked about this place. On a side note....when you get into the shower, BE PREPARED FOR 100 PSI MINIMUM water pressure! I loved it. I wouldnt have even needed soap to cut the dirt off me and I appreciated it, but if your a little old lady then be warned that you may want to hold onto the shower handle or divert the shower head initially.

Thank you for the overall nice review of our hotel and appreciating the goldrush charm we try to present.In regards to the water pressure, do you mind providing the room number as there may be a maintenance issue we should look into.We hope that you will stay with again if you return to Fairbanks!

Loved the free breakfast, ice cream, and bar next door Tried to view the Aurora but way too many outdoor lights, even in the aurora viewing room. Only place to catch a glance is through the dining room and door are locked from the outside so I had to ask the front desk. Rooms are warm since no air conditioning is allowed. Overall cute resort. Would return

Pikes is convenient and offers everything you need, shuttle service, food, amenities. We love the sauna and steam room! Our only issue this trip was the temperature. A/C is not yet available (because of the season) however the rooms and the building are kept so warm we were just plain uncomfortable. I kept the heat off and the window open both nights and it was just plain hot. It was the same in the dining area, if I was wearing more than a tank top, I was sweating. We had 3 in our party and all felt the same. Other than that, as usual, it's a great place to stay.

The hotel is conveniently located near the airport and offers shuttle service along with complimentary breakfast. It features several separate buildings with diverse activities, such as a library, theater, and Aurora Borealis exhibit. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but due to dated facilities and uncomfortable beds, I rate it 4 stars.

The staff at Pike's were phenomenal! EVERYONE was friendly, helpful, and offered lots of helpful hints for viewing the Northern Lights. The breakfast that Pike's offered was absolutely delicious, the ice cream bar everyone night was such a fun treat, and the wake up call if the Northern Lights were out was Outstanding! The shuttle service to and from the airport was perfect and appreciated! I would stay there again and recommend Pike's to family and friends.

My wife and I fell in love with everything about Pike's on our trip last week. The cabin that we rented was quaint, small and intimate. The heater worked incredibly well despite the brutal Fairbanks weather, and the staff was phenomenal. The free breakfast every day was a very nice plus! If I had to pick one thing I wasn't thrilled with, the water in the shower only stayed hot for about ten min max. Otherwise, I'd rate everything about Pike's an A . We will absolutely be back here for more Alaskan adventures in the future!
