Wonderful! Recommended!

Our stay at the Aurora Hotel in the main building -- just 2 doors down from the lobby -- was extremely quiet and comfortable. We heard almost no footsteps from the workmen staying on the second floor and did not notice them leaving in the morning. Check in, with a pretty blonde lady, was delightful. She helped with places to eat and gently broke the news that the restaurant where I'd wanted to eat --with a fireplace --was closed. The fridge held 2 hardboiled eggs, tangerines, kids juice boxes, tubular yoghurt, and fruit stuffed bars. The lobby had tea, coffee, oatmeal, cider & chocolate mixes. Additionally, there were choice items for purchase at VERY reasonable prices. The room was huge, a welcome relief after 2 days in Fairbanks at "luxury" place which had the toilet paper near my armpit... And the lodge at Chena Hot Springs with no ability to control the temperature except by opening a window!

The first thing to know/remember is that in most of Alaska, you will not find name brand hotels. You are in the wild. Most places will be mom and pop owned. This hotel was very clean, and the employees were very helpful and kind. The property is dated and not fancy, but you will not find that kind of hotel in this area. Other than the people above us walking on the floor loudly after we had gone to sleep, we had a nice stay.

Sadly, despite high-expectations based on former reviews, the hotel had non-existent WIFI and thin-walls that did little to prevent me from hearing children screaming in the next room half the night. The hotel was very dated with a bathroom that was quite disappointing. The shower didn't drain, the toilet seat was worn and there was a black mold or mildew on the roof of shower. The only saving grace was that the hotel receptionist was friendly and did her best to accommodate us when our room was not ready at check-in.
Likely black mold or mildew on ceiling of shower.
