Rustic, gave sense of camping. Didnt like that the hotel crew seemed overwhelmed. We were given room tgat had nit been cleaned from previous users. Was promised a 60$ per night x 3night discount for inconvenience. Didnt get it.
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!
Horrible property. They don't have ac in the rooms. The heat is always ON. Apparently geo thermal ..nobody informed us..the room was like a sauna.. never ever staying here
Fun area to visit to enjoy the hot springs. Hoping to see the lights but wasn’t meant to be. Restaurant staffing was struggling due to shortage but the ones working were hard working and the food excellent
All the employees where very friendly and helpful.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The rooms were in bad shape and were not clean. Its an old property and bathroom flush were not working properly and shower as well the tap were not working properly. The rooms were not good but property is beautiful
We checked in around 7:00 pm. Checked wait list for dining since we waited all day to dine at your facility only for them tell us they weren't taking anymore table because there was only one server and one kitchen person. So a party of two couldn't be accommodated. So we asked if we could sit at the bar only to be told the bar was closed and we couldn't get any drinks. So we're here less than 18 hours, can't get anything to eat nor drink. Oh but we were told we could go over to the 7-11 type store and have them put a pizza in the microwave. Lovely. Spent quite a bit on a room that the resort has no dining and no spirits whatsoever. Doubtful we will ever come back nor can we based on our experience recommend this resort to anyone.
Very disappointed.
