Hotels near Lower Chatanika River State Recreation Area

"The bed was fine, as was the bathroom, but it was a dreary and depressing place, unattractive rooms and the carpet I don’t want to even think about. Also, no in room safe and a very loud radiator spewing cold air. The surrounding area was not nice. On a brief walk I saw mostly intoxicated and/or disturbed people. I would not stay here again. "

"Nice room, friendly staff, nice lounge areas to hang out. "

"not too much sound proof"

"Quiet area, staff was very friendly and helpful, lots of options on what to watch on the TV, and breakfast every morning. Second time staying here, and it is still the best option in my opinion."

"Best experience I’ve had everyone was so kind and friendly the best vacation I’ve ever took thank you borealis basecamp "

"The room is very nice and spacious, but the TV was not watchable (very bad streaming, on every channel) and at noon time there was no hot water to shower, you would have to wait until later in the afternoon. As to the property, the convenience store/coffee shop was closed for renovation the entire time we were there, and the only open restaurant post-breakfast had no creamer for the coffee. One of the reasons I booked this hotel was because it was supposed to have these amenities, we did not rent a car and since we were staying up late each night to go for Aurora excursions we missed breakfast and wanted coffee at later time. I had to DoorDash coffee every day and even a few other items that the convenience store would have had. Otherwise, nice and clean room and property in general, I would stay again if these other things were to work. "

"Stayed in a large multi-bed room, as it is a hostel. The bunk beds were very creaky. Bathroom upstairs was pretty cramped and didn't seem to get cleaned the multiple days I was there. Pillows are flat, sheets and quilt were clean and comfy. Entry room has zero heating and door handle/lock was frozen, which is rough since you are asked to remove your shoes before entering. Great coffee shop walking distance, but not much else. Coffee is in the frozen room, consistently smelled burnt so I did not partake. When staff did come to "clean", she did it in her pajamas and just changed out trash, nothing else. She also did it early in the morning when everyone in the room was trying to sleep. Downstairs has a much larger bathroom. Kitchen and dining area are sufficient. Chairs in "living room" were very sunken in and uncomfortable. There is a tv, but one guest kept it on conservative news shows me entire stay and hid and slept with the remote. Lastly, I had some canned drinks by my bed and one or two of them were stolen. Another guest had some of her food stolen out of the shared fridge. Not sure if all this is par for the course for American hostels, but I was not impressed. Would definitely not stay here again."
