Pike’s Waterfront Lodge is my absolute go-to whenever I visit Alaska—I’ve stayed here in both summer and winter, and it never disappoints. It’s one of the best places to view the Northern Lights right from the comfort of your hotel. The location is breathtaking, especially with the river completely frozen, creating a truly magical setting. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, making every stay exceptional.

Its an old property but well maintained, we love that there is a lot of things to do in the property ,the kids can play, see the reindeers, the big love ALASKA sign , it’s proximity to the airport , there’s a restaurant and car rental within the property.The shuttle that picked us and dropped us off to the airport was a big plus, staff were not as friendly as advertised though ( not sure if it’s because we checked in very late at night, breakfast was the same everyday and there was always a line, otherwise it was still a pleasant stay!
