The highway ends at the Chena Hot Springs Resort. The historic resort has a number of unique "landscaping" items like vintage cars and airplanes, but the key magnet to the resort is the outdoor natural hot springs!

We stayed at the moose lodge. The room itselfnis ok, the downfall is the rooms are so hot even with the window open all night and it was in the low to mid 50s ..so the room should have cooled down. The hot springs, hot tub, and pool were nice. There are locker and showers available for use. The viewing area for the northern lights is a good area also. We didnt get much of a show but we did see a little glimpse. Also, while out walking we saw a moose. This is a great area to visit.

so much missed potential

I wanted to like this place more. the good was the hot springs, the pool/hot tubs, and the place on the hill to walk up to view the northern lights. every one on the pools was friendly and easy going. the bad, for the money spent to stay here, a place is only as good as it's clients and in 2 minutes of turning my back, a thief took my Fitbit from the changing room. I could ping it in the locker room, so I know it was taken deliberately. i hate thieves. the only things I'd change is putting some serious money into updating the rooms and facilities. also, be prepared as every thing outside of the hot springs is a la carte and not cheap..

Needs some work and attention to detail

Staff was excellent! Buildings are dated and the heat is almost agregious! The heat in building 102 was so high that even opening a window in 30° weather did little to temper it. The floor of our room was filthy. I understand it's "rustic" these days but the floor hadn't even been swept. There was dirt, leaves, rock and even pull from a previous tennent.

The hot spring is the main highlight of the resort. We enjoyed the flower garden as well. The rooms were outdated without microwave. They are still using small containers for toiletries which are not eco friendly.

Chena Hot Springs "Resort" is more like a tired motel. We had 4 adults booked in 2 separate rooms. The rooms were OK, but not completely cleaned. The stairs and hallways were dirty. The WORST part was the restaurant. It does not take reservations. The hotel was apparently fully booked. We went to dinner at 7:30 PM and told there would be a 2-1/2 hour wait! The hotel obviously knows how many guests they have and probably a very good idea about dinner guests. After half an hour, exploring their "snack bar", we returned to the restaurant and were able to order take out sandwiches which we had at 9:00 PM. I would not stay at Chena Hot Springs Resort again.

The hot springs were great. The Ice Museum was good. Their prices have increased from their website. If dining in the main restaurant, get there early. The line was ridiculously long and expensive! For quick food try the activity center. We did get to see the Northern Lights. And one more thing, the thermostat in your room DOES work!

Liked the Ice Museum and restaurant. Rooms were clean but the bed mattresses need replacement. Hot Spring, pool, and hot tubs were well maintained but the men's locker room lacks adequate seating for amputees. The Activity Center had good selections but needs some new seating and tables to encourage family gatherings.

The room was large and very clean. Comfortable beds. Check in was easy and reception was nice and helpful. Hot spring area was clean and just the right temperature. Lots of activities if you were interested but just walking the area was great. The restaurant was very busy so we chose to get sandwiches at the activity center market. Really delicious choices including salads and soup and pizza at reasonable prices. A long drive but a nice experience even though the clouds stopped us from seeing the aurora borealis!
