Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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!

Hot springs were great, with the exception of the entry way- which smelled like dog excrement. Hotel room was a little outdated. Service in dining/bar were slow and average. Kids in areas marked- No children. 3 Stars... Chena Geothermal Plant was great to see. :)

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.
