Top University of Alaska-Fairbanks Hotel Reviews

Rivers Edge Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The cabins were very nice, staff was good, van drivers very good and helpful."

Pike's Waterfront Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This place is beautiful! The property is clean and well maintained. There are so many options of activities to do in-house or go to a an activity arranged through the hotel. In February, they will be offering several new activities in-house that I am sad we couldn't participate in - red light therapy, salt water dry float, and Aurora Theater glass viewing house. The reindeer are beautiful and well kept. The gardens are lovely and calming. Breakfast had many choices, so you will be able to find something you like. And for Alaska, they actually have air conditioning units in each room - not all places offer AC here. It is August and outdoor temps are 44°F at night and 54°F during the day. We are from Texas where it is 108°F today! Sooo refreshing to be here instead!! If you are looking elsewhere, stop now. Stay here!"

"Very nice lodge! Water pressure and hot water not very good. Breakfast buffet very good, but $26 per person. Suggest eating light in the coffee shop inside the gift shop. Terrific coffees and breakfast sandwiches and pastries will save some money. Good shuttle to downtown, $10 per person day pass. Staff was very nice. Take a walk in the gardens along the river...beautiful."
