Hot springs are nice -- but I would just come for the day. Don't stay overnight -- the rooms are dated, poor service at check in, restaurant and room.
Being very honest because I wanted to like this place, but it was the biggest disappointment of our Alaskan trip. Heres why:
Cons:
-Lots of bugs in room.
-200 dollar minimum drive there one way!! (Lyft 205, taxi 225, shuttle 65 per person)
-Dirty rooms.
-A lot of cancelled activities (all ATVs, and greenhouses closed)
-Nasty nasty locker room
-Hot springs filled with bugs and mold floating around.
-No wifi
-No cell service
-Only 1 place to eat and very understaffed
-energy plant tour guide was uninformative, and kind of a joke.
-the hot tub had brown bubbles. Not sure why, but I honestly don't want to know.
Pros:
-very cool staff
-restaurant had good food, but took 30 mins to be put on the list, then 2 hour wait to eat.
-ice museum was pretty cool (no pun intended)
Overall, I have told my fellow travelers to steer clear of this place. It was like being in a boy scout camp. The ATV activity was cancelled because the owner used the ATVs and they ran out of gas -- at least that was their story.
The price of transportation there isn't worth any of the activities. But if you like being secluded away from society and have a small step up from tent camping, then this is your place!
I wish we could get a refund.
Is not worth it at all ! From the hotel, facilities, restrooms, bathrooms, hotel room, hot springs -- everything is in ruins.
