Pikes is exactly what you expect on an Alaskan vacation!
It’s rustic, on the water, close to everything, restaurant and sled slide onsite
The location and amenities are dated and it matched the vibe. We could’ve stayed in a chain hotel but SO thankful we chose Pikes

We stayed in one of the aurora cabins. It was nice and cozy. It’s not luxury with modern amenities. If that’s what you’re looking for then you probably shouldn’t go to Fairbanks. It was nice and rustic, and we loved it! It was a true log cabin experience. We loved the free shuttle to and from the airport that they provided! And, they had a complimentary breakfast which was great! Staff were fantastic! Would stay here again!

Pikes is a beautiful property on the Chena River. They had ducklings in the lobby, and caribou near the restaurant. The restaurant was not open.
