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!

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.

There were so many options for activities we wish we stayed 2 nights. Ice museum was fun, pool, hot tubs and the hot springs were great. Really appreciated the cafe didn’t overcharge for snacks. Thank you! Grateful also for the laundry that wasn’t outrageously priced ($4 a load. Bring dollar bills.)

You really go to this property for the Hot Springs and additional activities. The rooms are very rustic. And it was an issue to not have a thermostat in each room. By morning it was very warm in our room and we had to open windows, which probably just made the heat stay on longer. The Springs are large and deep (for hot springs). It was very relaxing after a long day of driving.
