The water is very bad - smells and tastes like an iron pipe. We had 4 family members in our room and every day they brought 2 towels. Had to keep asking for 2 more!! The location is beautiful but the Resort itself needs work...

Stayed here 25 years ago and the place has not been updated. The hot spa was not open to our 14 year old son, and they make you sign the release to indemnify them for any injury and damages even by their negligence or you don’t get in. The ice machine was locked and need to borrow the key. Over all the place needs a serious update and not worth the money if you do t get to see the northern light.

Haven’t visited for 20 years, but still a charming delight. Our restaurant on at Moose Lodge, spacious and quiet for three. Soaking in hot springs always a gentle, relaxing pleasure. Dinner, far too much food, especially the huge salad with dinner. Interesting use of geothermal energy to provide power for several buildings on the premises. Fun to see resident goats. Shall return.

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 We stayed in one of the off buildings, which was outdated.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 only restaurant is at the resort. If you don't get seating early for dinner you will have to wait for a while. The host was not very freindly.
