Lovely hotel, convenient for airport and shuttle provided. They are strict with check-in time which is a shame - they could have allowed us in the room 15mins early - they said ‘the room was still being cleaned’ - and said this to others waiting!

Clean, attractive, close to airport, and nice staff. I loved the view of the Chena River, outdoor fireplaces, and aurora viewing room, though we didn't see the aurora due to clouds. Those were nice features and there were many others as well. I would recommend it and would also stay there again.

Bed was comfortable. Dining options available on site, although pretty pricey. $18 for a bowl of soup is pretty steeped. Lots of on site things to do.

This was a great hotel. Rooms were clean and beds were comfy. They have dinning and an ice cream social. There was a great library room. A movie room with a movie about the northern lights. A room with a pool table and even a glass viewing room if the northern lights are visible to see. Id highly recommend this hotel, you cant go wrong.

Felt like a mountain resort--liked the atmosphere of the outdoors with fire pits, places to sit, and quirky spaceman (Aurora?). The lobby was comfortable with fireplace, seating, small bar, and great artwork. I did NOT like the room. The view was the roof of the laundry. I do not know why we weren't told nor given a discount for the worst room of entire hotel. Avoid Room 216. (Will post photo of I can.)
