We wer 2 couples traveling together so they gave us a river side cottage with 2 rooms. Staff was great. Shuttle from train station and paid taxi to airport because it was early in the morning. Ate dinner at the Alaskan Grill and it was very good. They are open until 10pm which is nice since the train arrived at 8pm. Wake up call to view the aurora.

Just OK
Only stayed one night prior to our cruise/tour began the following day. We arrived around midnight to check in. The desk gal didn’t think we could carry our luggage upstairs so she switched our room ? We were in a cottage now- it was difficult to find it in the dark but we finally did. We were supposed to have a king size bed but got 2 doubles. The bed was comfortable but the room needs updating. The breakfast seemed overpriced. Overall it was OK.
Nice view of the Chena River.

Loved the privacy. Nice to have a fridge and microwave in room. Unfortunately was raining most of our stay so didn’t get to enjoy the patio. Would love if room included breakfast! Coffee was complimentary.

Cute, but shady area.
Super cute personal cabins. The first one i got had a trail of urine on the floor and then a big spot where a dog had urinated. They moved me. But, that was the first thing i saw. Housekeeping should have noticed that. Next cabin i got was good. It was a nice quiet spot with some not so nice areas around. Guess you should expect that on a river.

Front desk staff were super friendly and helpful. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Only thing that would have been nice to have in the room would be a table. Otherwise was loved the stay.

Great option near airport
Cute little cabins and very friendly service when checking in. Convenient location to the airport. The overall cottage as well as the beds and bathroom were in good shape but some of the walls were dirty, like someone had wiped muddy fingers on them. Not a deal breaker as I just needed a place to sleep but seems like something housekeeping would notice/care about. Overall, would stay there again.
