There were so many options for activities we wish we stayed 2 nights. Ice museum was fun, pool, hot tubs and the hot springs were great. Really appreciated the cafe didn’t overcharge for snacks. Thank you! Grateful also for the laundry that wasn’t outrageously priced ($4 a load. Bring dollar bills.)

Not for kids below 16

I stayed in the resort, and the number of things you can take kids to is minimal Also, there is no cellular coverage, no wifi in the rooms, no fridge, no microwave oven If you need a fridge, you need to deposit your DL at the front desk, which means you can't drive out to see places around I feel you get a hot springs ticket and go there to stay. Better to stay in Fairbanks, where you get comfort, proper food, and a good experience sleeping

Hot springs were great, with the exception of the entry way- which smelled like dog excrement. Hotel room was a little outdated. Service in dining/bar were slow and average. Kids in areas marked- No children. 3 Stars... Chena Geothermal Plant was great to see. :)

The horse back ride was a highlight! The wrangler and her daughter were delightful! Beautiful, easy to ride horses. Fresh salad from the greenhouse was delicious. Hot springs were relaxing and novel in a gorgeous setting.

The hot springs were great with a large pool, good changing facilities, and a very natural setting. The food service could be better due to weekend crowds and improved training. The Wi-Fi could be upgraded.

Loved the hot spring --- accessible, quiet and just perfect. Property was a little challenging for accessibility, including the step up into the buildings. Had to request a change in room to accommodate mobility issues.

Property was old and in need or repairs, tv stations do not come in, beds were comfortable but linens needed up grades, no refrigerators or microwaves in room, limited options for ice, had to walk to main lodge, they keep ice machine locked, the hot springs were great.

We stayed for one night. Room was dirty, old rooms, very small shower area, trails are not maintained. Overall service was good but food was expensive. They have lot of activities, which was really good as there is not much to do around the area. We felt it was not worth staying that far from Fairbanks. If you have more days and want to enjoy hot springs it might be OK.

Liked: Cleanliness
The positive for us were the following: We really enjoyed our time in the hot springs, we soaked in its waters every afternoon. Liked the fact that only adults (18+) could use it. We liked the quietness of the area and its trails. We liked that we could fill our hydroflask with water at the lobby-check in area to the springs and the water tasted great.We would stay here again 2 days max, not a whole week like we did. For us the negatives are the following: We have never stayed at a resort that did not have a mini fridge in the room. A mini fridge is important especially if there aren't any markets around. Eating at the ONE and ONLY restaurant in the property can be expensive. Also the restaurant did not have a lot waiters/waitresses, so being seated and served could be a while depending on the time. Juan, one of the servers, was super helpful, attentive, and shared pointers on some of the nearby trails. If you want the room to be serviced, you have to let the front desk know otherwise it will not be serviced even if you put the rag on the door. The pool we only used it once. I didn't like that the sides of the pool looked (were) dirty.
