We stayed at Pikes for our daughter’s wedding and our stay was fantastic!

Fun, cute, and quirky hotel that we really enjoyed. It’s a little farther from downtown but there’s a lot to do on the hotel property. The staff were very nice and helpful with things like tour recommendations, and the included breakfast was very good.

A great place to land after spending a week exploring Alaska. Wish we had more than just a few hours to enjoy the amenities before catching flight home. Hotel has a very cozy atmosphere and the beds are super comfortable. Shuttle to the airport was quick and seamless.
