Typical Fairbanks hotel - nothing special. It is downtown, which is nice. It is at the center of town and within walking distance of the Chena River, the visitor center, and a variety of shops and restaurants, so that was nice.

Fairbanks is a great place to see the Northern Lights.
Fairbanks is a great place to see the Northern Lights. We went on February 29 for five nights and saw the Aurora four of the five nights. I even saw it the first night from our Lodging at Pikes Waterfront Lodging. You can even rent clothing from Alaska Elements that will keep you warm in 40 below weather. I'm a sunny California girl and have never been in weather below 20 and I was toasty warm in the gear they supplied. It was so convenient. They dropped the clothes at our hotel and picked them up at the end. They cost less than if we had bought the necessary shoes alone. It included the parka, mittens , bib pants, and snow shoes. So don't let the weather discourage you from going. It was a once in a lifetime experience I am so glad I did. I went with two girlfriends and we are all over 65 and had the best time ever. I recommend staying at Pikes Waterfront Lodge. You can book evening tours that takes you to special places to see the Aurora that include a nice warm place to view them from as well as being able to go out on decks to view them. The clothes will keep you warm. I laid in the snow for an hour viewing the the Northern Lights and was as warm as could be. Also my iPhone 15 took great pictures. If doing a dog sled ride is on your bucket list, Rod's Alaska guide tour is great. Again, the gear will keep you warm. Also another fun thing to do is Running Reindeer Ranch which lets you walk through a forest interacting with 13 reindeer that let you pet them and walk around you. It is an unreal experience. You should do both activities. If you go in March, you can also see the World Championship Ice Sculptures. And they are "out of this world". Have fun-I hope I had encouraged many people to have these lifetime experiences.

Great friendly town with polite helpful people and loads of interest for tourists. We found it's also got a great bus service - the locals don't use it because they have cars, but we used it because there were no hire cars available - book ahead.

Fairbanks has lots of winter activities to enjoy if you tent a car like dog sledding, snowmobiling, ice sculptures at the Fairgrounds. The North Pole is only a 20 minute drive from Fairbanks and Chena Hot Springs an hour drive. The roads are maintained and the people are friendly. There are many delicious restaurants. We especially liked The Cookie Jar for breakfast. We enjoyed the University of Fairbanks Museum and the Aurora Borealis movie in the museum. We liked seeing the Alaska Pipeline off the highway and made a couple of stops to read about it. Definitely visit the Aurora Ice Museum in Chena Hot Springs. It is a fun experience and there is a free tour of the resort’s self sustainable power plant and green houses where they grow their own fresh vegetables. There are several Northern Light viewing areas near Fairbanks (Cleary Summit, Murthy’s Dome and Chena Hot Springs). To view the Northern Lights we suggest booking a tour to be with knowledgeable guides if it’s your first time. Also, rental cars are not allowed to drive to the Arctic Circle, so it’s best to book a tour if you plan to go there. The weather is very chilly, but it’s worth bundling up in layers to enjoy all Fairbanks has to offer. We definitely want to return to Fairbanks in the very near future during the months of February or March.

Fairbanks is little more than a large, run down Alaskan village. Summer visits are best because of the increased activities available for visitors. Unless there is a specific reason to visit in winter, ie viewing the Northern Lights, there are other, much more desirable places to go.
Breakfast was good if you were needing that, but the hours are limited. (630-830) You would miss it completely if you were in Fairbanks to see the Northern Lights. I wished they had some tortillas and/or veggies to be able to make breakfast tacos with the eggs, but there wasn't. There wasn't any fruit or much healthy either. They had bacon, sausage, eggs and potatoes. Basic standard stuff
The hotel is pretty clean and the room was fine. Plenty of room and clean. If you didnt need reliable wifi I recommend staying here
The lodge is so homey and comfortable with good grounds to walk around. Our room is clean and tidy withcomplete kitchen utensils, flatwares and plate including a microwave oven for heating up food. The toilet is clean with all the bath and shower needs. Breakfast is good. Janet, the owner of the lodge, was so kind and accommodating. She would wake up the guests and knock on our doors in the middle of the night just to call us and see the Northern Lights. She would even, take our pictures with the lights as our backdrop.
This location maybe the sweet spot. It is just a short drive to the heart of the city but felt like we were deep in the woods. Being attached to the main house, we felt on an adventure, yet safe. Our hosts made us feel welcome from the first moment. If you're looking for a sense of "the real Alaska" without having to give up all the niceties of modern living, you can't go wrong with this property.
This inn is located in a very quiet neighborhood. The noises of the city are distant and non-intrusive. We slept with the window cracked open all night and it was very peaceful. My special treat was the jetted tub. Hot baths are a rarity in my Alaskan life so each opportunity to have a long, hot soak is cherished. Our visit was pure joy as we celebrated a milestone moment in our marriage.
This property is artistically amazing and locally owned. The customer service agents are exceptional, especially Dawn, an Alaska woman with incredible standards and advisements, who helped us beyond belief. Thank you Pikes Waterfront Lodge, you have always been a family favorite for years, and always will be!! We’re so grateful for your kind consideration and care. God Bless you ALL🙏💖
Great value no frills rooms not a 5 star style hotel if that's what you want. Super price of being near the airport. Met all expectations for a room near the airport to catch an early flight out of Fairbanks. Free shuttle very important! After a 9 day rafting and camping trip Plenty of hot water a clean and comfortable bed and transportation home was all I wanted. Super helpful staff.
Billie is just amazing! This place felt completely safe and comfortable, very clean, and I got to meet great people and have new friendships. I loved Fairbanks so much and I think that Billie’s Hostel is very big part of it. And we got to see the Northern Lights right outside of the Hostel!!! Highly recommended 🇮🇱
I traveled with my granddaughter. The room was cozy and very clean. Fred and Janet were excellent hosts! The lodge is close to Fairbanks but far enough away to see the beautiful night sky. Janet was wonderful about waking you up to view the Northern Lights. I would definitely recommend staying there!
The staff were nice and helped when needed,
The hotel room was comfortable and clean, seemed also new.
Great location and free parking.
I think this hotwl should get a higher score and stars in Booking.
LOCATION - the hotel was perfect as all our tours had this hotel as pick up location. The room was good also as it was spacious. Breakfast had a generous serving !
