It's a very unique property. The building we slept in had a loose lock and needed updated, but the hot spring was fantastic. Not sure why my 15 1/2 year old daughter wasn't allowed in the hot springs with us though. Before we left we considered booking another night, but we had plans to meet-up with friends in Anchorage, so we didn't.

The only reason that I didn't give it zero stars was that the food was wonderful and delicious and the front desk staff and restaurant staff provided great customer service. I would avoid going to this area. It's a day trip for locals and didn't seem like a lot of people stayed overnight. Ice museum was not worth the tour. The hot springs didn't smell clean (not the sulfur from the springs). We stayed in one of the off buildings, which was outdated. The shower was either scalding or freezing. The room was OK clean. TV didn't work. The staff was great but the buildings need a complete overhaul.

The room was like something out of a 1950s hotel except for the updated TV. Grounds were wonderful and Ice Museum Experience was interesting but seemed like being charged for everything even when staying. Picked an option that had indoor plumbing when most options seemed like it was an outhouse only. Pool Staff was wonderful while hotel and activities staff was just good. Would have been nice that while there was virtually nobody staying we could have had a room with a view instead of a view of the roof. Seems like some things could have been marked better - like distance of trails, clearly which way to Beaver Dam, giving indications as to how to do on site activities without finding out the hard way that the Activities Location that also had groceries and souveniers was about the place to start your visit.

One thing i like about this resort is they have good choices of food and good service. Rooms are very small and noisy, hot spring pool was bit too hot but comfortable. Service at hot pool was poor. For first time user of this pool make sure you put all your belongings in to the locker before you close it this they will not explain it to you. Ice museum is good to experience.

We loved our week at Chena Hot Springs. The Northern lights put on a fabulous display. The hot springs and the pool were wonderful. The food at the restaurant was delicious. We were treated well by the staff. A quick dog sled ride was fun. Highly recommend this adventure in the remote resort.
