Find Shopping Hotels in North Pole, AK

"Our stay at Pike’s Waterfront Lodge was truly unforgettable and made our first visit to Alaska extra special. The hotel is very clean, beautifully decorated, and full of Alaskan charm. The 24/7 airport shuttle was incredibly convenient, and having a restaurant next door plus nearby attractions like Pike’s Reindeer Park made our stay even better. What stood out most was the warmth of the people. Every staff member was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. We especially appreciated their honest recommendations as first-time visitors. One highlight was their Northern Lights call service. A special shoutout to Kay from the front desk—she called us, walked us to the riverside, and helped us witness the beautiful Aurora Borealis. It was a magical moment for our family. Breakfast each morning was a great way to start our day before heading out. What truly sets this hotel apart is their exceptional service. On checkout day 4/5/2026, I accidentally left my wallet and headphones in the room safe. Even after we passed TSA, the staff at Pike’s quickly contacted us and arranged for our items to be delivered by their shuttle service to the airport.—with the help of a kind employee from Twigs Alaskan Gifts—just in time before boarding. Huge thanks to the front desk and housekeeping team who worked and handled room 350 & 352 on 4/5/2026 Truly outstanding service—We are so grateful! Truly the Best and Friendliest Hotel in Fairbanks, THANK YOU SO MUCH, We appreciate you all & We’ll be back! "

"BAD"

"Nice to see the river outside the front door. "

"I was asked to make a security deposit once I arrived. $150 dollar expense I wasn’t expecting. The bed frame was broken and the HVAC shook when it came on making a lot of noise. I don’t know if it’s normal or not but there also was not a mattress protector on the bed just a really thin see through fitted sheet. Other than that the breakfast was really good, the shower was hot with wonderful pressure. The shuttle was quick and nice people. Probably won’t book them again though. "

"Excellent general manager, small but adequate room, hot shower, convenient car plug in, and small carb heavy breakfast. Convenient airport transfers. "

"Nice to have a shuttle from both the train station and/or the airport. Good breakfast, average gym."

"Tv remotes didn’t work and all attempts to fix by staff were futile. They offered to switch rooms but then discovered all open rooms had the same remote issue. So if you wanted to watch tv, you better hope you liked the one show you had to choose from. Their handicap access was also laughable and probably non compliant with the ADA. If it is winter and you have a wheelchair I would keep looking. The staff was lovely and everything was clean. "

"Was charged for extra guests prior to reservation. At check in, front desk charged again. I now have to co race customer service to address the issue. Property was fine. "

"The room was half cleaned , sheets and towel only changed, I have doubts that they clean really. 3 box of pizzas which including pizzaz in it , from previous guests was there, previous guests keyes was on counter, after several follow up i was able to get a refund of 45 $ , i am waiting to get it, they told it takes 10 days. I paid 150$ for one night, we checked in at 3 AM and check out at 9AM. Breakfast was bad also, "
