Pike's Waterfront Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful Lodge with a Cozy Alaskan Feel Pike’s Waterfront Lodge is a beautiful property with lovely décor. I especially enjoyed the lighting in the main lobby and hallways, which created a warm and inviting atmosphere. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked. Kudos to the housekeeping team for keeping everything in great condition! Breakfast was good and a convenient way to start the day. My only downside was the pricey food options at the gift shop, where a few more budget-friendly choices would have been appreciated. Overall, a lovely place to stay in Fairbanks, with a welcoming atmosphere and plenty of Alaskan charm!"
Aurora Villa
8/10 Good
"This stay was a surprise. It is off the beaten path nestled in the woods with neighboring homes with spacious lots. It is a modern building that looks like a modern home. It has gravel driveway. It has a self check in with a text to office/ staff for help if needed. They are responsive. Building is clean and provides slippers for the use inside. The room is clean, has desk, reading chair and a spectacular viewing window that proved to be very useful for catching the northern loghts. The kitchen downstairs was packed with goodies and frig was packed with various options and frozen food and treats. Kitchen area has a large sitting table. All and all it was one of the memorable places we have stayed. I am glad we went and did see the northern lights. But the northern lights due to weather and nature are not always visable."

Alaska Grizzly Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"We stayed for 3 nights and it was amazing! When researching this was the only place that would provide wake up calls to see the aurora. We lucked out and saw them 2/3 nights all from the comfort of the lodge. It was cozy place, breakfast was delish and Janet and Fred were the perfect hosts. I would definitely stay again. Thank you for your hospitality."
Hampton Inn & Suites Fairbanks
10/10 Excellent
"Clean location and Justin was Awesome! Breakfast was great everyday"
Borealis Basecamp
10/10 Excellent
"Setting aside the fact that we were thrilled and lucky to enjoy a spectacular northern lights show during our stay, Borealis Basecamp was a wonderful brief getaway experience. The facility has provided just enough extra activities (not a price bargain by any means, but probably comparable to similar venues) to keep you physically engaged during daylight hours. However, for those who have mobility issues, particularly back injuries, you'll need to make yourself cozy in the reception or adventure/cafe yerts and keep yourself occupied with a book or conversation with other guests, which is what my husband did. The food at the Pub and Latitude 65 restaurant was wonderful. Terrific coctails. Pay attention to the description of amenities provided in the igloos, which is what we opted for. Super comfortable bed offering a terrific view of the night sky. And finally, they make good on their promise to call your room at any hour when the aurora appears. One night between 9pm and 6am (roughly), we received 6 calls! But that's what you are paying for, and we were happy to have our sleep disturbed!"
Wedgewood Resort
