Pike's Waterfront Lodge
Pikes Waterfront Lodge was amazing. The lodge was just what I expected. The sign on the outside says the friendliest staff in Fairbanks and it is so true. Everything is kept so nice and it is in the perfect place to get to everything in Fairbanks

Hyatt Place Fairbanks
They offer pickup service from the airport even though we were flying in during the middle of the night. We didn’t rent a car at first but still manage to walk around and grab food with places to shop at walking distance. I would choose this again if I ever return to the city.
