Pikes Waterfront Lodge Hotel

We made reservations through Alaska Tours (stay away from) 10 months previous to our vacation. When we arrived at Pikes Landing, they did not have any rooms for us. They sent us to Alpine Motel. They are Not even in the same league with Pikes. All they have is rooms. Typical Motel! There was no place to eat. We did not have transportation. Alpine did their best to help us. We were totally disappointed with Pikes and Alaska Tours. We called our travel tour people, but they were so kind as to NOT return our calls. We were stuck!

The internet service is horrible. The restaurant and bar service is slow. The food is below average.

The hotel was fine and I liked the individual type cabins that were rustic.

It's very near the airport, but it's not overly noisy. They had good room-darkening curtains (essential in the summertime), a restaurant in the hotel, as well as right next door, Aveda toiletries, their winter rates are great, their summer rates are normal (higher than winter), they pickup from the airport with a phone call around the clock, check-in is at 3 pm (not much earlier), and they have lots of tour buses in the summertime. It's nicely decorated with Alaskan paintings and more, CNN on in the bar and lounge area, but not loudly.
