The staff at Pike's were phenomenal! EVERYONE was friendly, helpful, and offered lots of helpful hints for viewing the Northern Lights. The breakfast that Pike's offered was absolutely delicious, the ice cream bar everyone night was such a fun treat, and the wake up call if the Northern Lights were out was Outstanding! The shuttle service to and from the airport was perfect and appreciated! I would stay there again and recommend Pike's to family and friends.

The hotel is great and I would stay there again. The hotel is close to the airport, what is convenient. The shuttle service worked great for me. There is a river in front of the hotel and a hill so people can sliding down in the winter (kids loved it). They also have fire pits outside and you can make some marshmallows there. The room was clean and the staff was very friendly. I will not give 5 stars only because the breakfast was good, but there was the same options every day. But, my experience there was great and I would stay there again.

This property is definitely a family-friendly property. If you do not have kids, maybe look somewhere else. Things are a bit noisy from 8:30 am to 10:00 pm, with kids running around, doors slamming and families in the lobby. The property was GORGEOUS and the staff was INCREDIBLY kind and helpful, regardless of who I talked to.

We loved this place. The kids loved being there and we were able to see the northern lights from here too. It was the perfect spot to stay at and the breakfast is amazing. It honestly kept us full til an early dinner. The staff were awesome and we enjoyed the dollar ice cream at night. Definitely recommend this place. We would love to go back someday.
