The hot springs were great with a large pool, good changing facilities, and a very natural setting. The food service could be better due to weekend crowds and improved training. The Wi-Fi could be upgraded.

We stayed for one night. Room was dirty, old rooms, very small shower area, trails are not maintained. Overall service was good but food was expensive. They have lot of activities, which was really good as there is not much to do around the area. We felt it was not worth staying that far from Fairbanks. If you have more days and want to enjoy hot springs it might be OK.

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...

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.

I gave it 4’s because it’s a little rustic. A lot of cool things to do and see. Worthwhile to stop in for a couple of days if you are in the area.

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.

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.
