We enjoyed our stay at Pike's as it offered lots to do on the property, provided a great free breakfast, and was within walking distance of a restaurant. Our only complaint was that the room was too hot, and there was no way to cool it down. A room that sits at 78 degrees is uncomfortable in our opinion, even if it is -14 outside.

Loved staying at this hotel! We stayed in a Cabin and is something I highly recommend! The cabin was greatly insulated as the weather was -40! The breakfast was great and definitely filled us up. It's a great place as they have so many activities on site.

really enjoyed this hotel. this is not for those who enjoy the sparkling amenities of big name hotels. The room is old and you can tell but it is cozy and charming. recommend bringing some air freshener for the space to sit somewhere in room as the smell is not bad but it smells older and has that dusty type odor. Hotel was kept clean and loved the amenities they had. access to sauna and reindeer and sledding. bar was good and restaurant slightly expensive. breakfast was good.
