Pike's Waterfront Lodge
Breakfast had a huge variety of options and they were all good!!! I loved all the little activities we could do on the property even in the off season. My husband enjoyed the games in the lobby and the pool table. Would definitely stay again.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fairbanks Airport
Kitchen staff worked hard and was friendly to all who dined. The facility was needing a weekend cleaning staff. Downstairs bathroom was dirty and out of paper towels. My room was under attended. No facial tissues, or kitchen items, but the room was clean.
