Pike, Waterfront is a great choice for a place to stay on Fairbanks. From the lobby entrance and throughout the Hillel there is great original Alaskan artwork to view. Our room was very clean and most things in the room seemed new. Breakfasts were great. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely go back on our next trip to Fairbanks!

Staying here was so much fun! Beautiful clean rooms with comfortable beds and Aveda products in the bathroom. Restaurant service was amazing -the staff were friendly and the food was fresh and yummy. Loved walking around to see the caribou, aurora discovery center, and more. Marshmallows at the fire pit were a great end to the evening.
