Cabins

When we arrived our room was not ready, so we stored our luggage and ate at the restaurant. Our experience there was not that great. The cabin wasn't what we expected. It was nice, but the kitchen part of the cabin was really tiny. The refrigerator door was backwards, so i was hard to look in it. The coffee maker and cups were really small. I had to ask for more coffee from the front desk. The shower pressure was not that strong and the water was not that hot. We had a hard time changing the channel on the television. We thought it was the battery but the front desk said we had to hold down the button on the remote control until the channel changed. It was really frustrating. A nice touch to the place was coffee in the lobby and breakfast. The fire place by the cabins were really nice as well. If it wasn't cloudy we probably would be able to see the aurora borealis. Also, Pikes is not located in a walking distance from a Fred Meyers (an all in one store) or anything.

Cute, clean rooms with fridge, mic, and coffee machine. Lots of fun, simple activities like a theatre, a sweet little library, giant globe with interactive science screens, reindeer, restaurant next door, free parking, photo ops, aurora wake-up call. Too warm for safe sledding and a couple of things were undergoing renovation, but still so much to offer guests that I have probably forgotten some of them.

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
