Just not the same
We try to do our stay-cations a couple times a year. It was dirty and poorly kept, rooms were too hot. Mold on indoor jacuzzis, staff tried to down play the incidents. Next year we will find a different place.

Very convenient to the pool and hot spring. Close to activity center where they provided northern light tour, dog tour, ice museum tour, skimobile. Close to main lodge where there is the restaurant and gift shop. Food there is really good. The room is very clean, but small and very very hot. We had to open our window to cool our room. The room also comes with two day hot spring tickets which makes it very worthy especially during winter time.

A Unique stay
Chena Hot Springs is definitely a unique place to visit. The hot springs themself were great, and it's worth the visit just to experience them. We stayed for two nights and I can't imagine staying longer unless you were absolutely focused on seeing the northern lights and are ok waiting for a weather window. We did not see them, it was overcast the whole time. They also don't really offer wake up calls, so we had to just periodically keep on checking. We stayed in a Fox River room. It was clean- but nothing special. Our first room was ridiculously hot with no way of cooling it even with the windows open. It was in the 30's outside. The thermal heat was radiating up from the ground. They were super accommodating and moved us to a room on the 2nd floor that was much cooler. There is a TV but only a couple channels come in and the only one that came in clearly was Fox News. There is not a fridge or microwave in the room which made it difficult to bring leftovers from the restaurant or keep room drinks cold. The restaurant itself was very good and had many options which is good since it is the only option for all meals. Though there is a Cafe with frozen stuff you can heat up in their microwaves if you want. We went to the ice museum- it was neat though I am not sure it is worth the $20, but there is little else to do so I would plan on it. All of the hotel staff were super friendly. Overall, I am really glad we went and enjoyed it, but do not see the need to go back.

A nice get-away from Fairbanks where you can observe auroras easily and convenioently. The hot springs pool is very nice, Restaurant food is fine but the wait-times can be pretty long

Chena Hot Springs is like a big family camp. The hot springs are great - very hot in spots! The food was wonderful - Alaskan scallops, hamburgers/fries, sesame chicken salad -- all delicious and prices are pretty standard. Great margaritas and they offer good wines and beers. Rooms in the Moose Lodge are a little dated but look like they have recently be painted and are clean and roomy. Staff people were all friendly and helpful. This place is literally at the end of the road! Beautiful creek and forest all around.

Our room was nice … good sized with two queen beds. The hot springs were great … warm and very comfortable. The activities center provided a place for us to play cards and games with friends and to eat a light meal purchased in the gift shop area. We had a hard time with the dining room staff (too many rules) who would not take reservations, would not seat a portion of a group until the whole group arrived, and would not provide separate checks for a group of 6. These rules are NOT customer friendly and the separate check “policy” was ridiculous — one if our group if 6 left the dining room to make the group 5, at which point our waiter (who had refused to make 3 checks) made 3 checks — the incident left us unhappy with the staff and the “policies” . The waiter alienated our friend over the check policy and then wrote the same number of checks he had refused to write!!! Duh!!

2/10 Poor

Over priced inedible food. Rooms not clean and serviced daily. They sell $95 tickets for the northern lights when they know that the kpi is 1 and no chance of seeing them, that’s bad business! I would never suggest this place to anyone. The owner needs to put money into a good chef, maids and fixing issues like leaks in the room from the upstairs bathroom. So disappointed!

Loved our stay at the hot springs & saw the northern lights. Moose lodge rooms are just ok, could use a fridge. Restaurant on the property is great & prices are very reasonable. The outdoor pool is nice but there’s no place to sit in it, big rocks all around it, different from any springs we’ve been to. One complaint is outside watching for the lights there was a lot of traffic flying down the parking lot /runway area, I thought they were going to hit someone, maybe that was staff? Overall a good stay & will return.

CHS is a nice 2 night stop.
Chena Hot Springs was chosen for the several activities in the area. They ranged from kids activities, to hiking, to hot spring soaks, to Aurora light watch. A really nice ice museum was worth the visit. The hot springs run off-grid so there are amenities missing you would expect at other lodging venues, like individual room heaters. I've read where the staff will provide a portable for you if asked, but i found the rooms and covers plenty warm enough for autumn. A tour of the geothermal power plant is available. It should be interesting but I didn't do it. Hot springs are not like Japanese onsens and allow public soakings for both genders, which means bathing suits, not birthday suits. Try to visit the local restaurants during non busy times as a limited number of waiters are available and waits can be long for service.

Its an interesting place. A lot of innovative features and quirky stuff ( eg an airplane, ice museum which was so so, rusting antique cars) . Spa and lockers are a bit worn. Great service. Rooms are basic. They are all centrally heated. Our room was cold and it was in the 40s. We saw thebnorther lights in Fairbanks and photos from here looked a little better. It does have a viewing area about 10-15 minutes uphill. Not sure I would recommend to friends. Nice place to relax and hike in September.

It is possible to view aurora on site. The nextdoor runway is the first choice. If you have time and energy, a better pick is the Aurorarium located atop the adjacent hill. It takes 10 min on foot. When aurora is not visible, you can still enjoy the hot spring. The property is somewhat outdated and you should expect problems. In our case, the heating was malfunctioning. At the reception, I was told the only option was a piece of blanket. No way! I asked to dispatch a service person who provided a portable heater. It made the room warm enough. We were staying in a room on the 2nd floor. Other members of our party had another heating problem, which was too hot. They had to keep the window open throughout the night to sleep well. A window lock in their room was broken and took 1 hr to fix it by a service person. Our room had a shower temp control which was not working. We had to ask again a service person. There is no room phone so we have to visit the reception once we find a problem.
