Pros: The rooms were super cute.

Cons: TV didn't work for most of our stay. We had to wait for an hour for our room to be ready.

Pros: It was fairly quiet and having your own small cottage as opposed to a hallway full of rooms was a nice change.

Cons: I am glad we got a room farther away from the road and restaurant. Knowing that some are closer i would probably call in advance and see if I could choose where on the property I was staying.

Pros: The cottages are very nice and spacious! Restaurant was good. Bed was comfortable. Very close from the airport and they have shuttle.

Cons: Only one problem , the curtains. It was like not having them and with 19 hours of sunlight it was pretty tough to sleep.

Pros: River's Edge is great. Not only is it clean and comfortable, it's right on the Chena River and you can walk along the shore with a glass of wine to finish your day. It's beautiful.

Cons: It doesn't have a desk or table in every room, so working on your laptop is a little uncomfortable. It would also be nice if if had a microwave and refrigerator.

Pros: Cute...relatively inexpensive.

Cons: When I rented on line, it did not tell me that the hotel was CLOSING FOR THE SEASON before I was scheduled to leave. Hence, I was stuck with no room for Friday night;-)

Pros: Rooms were clean & comfortable. Most of staff were very helpful.

Cons: They said they had shuttles anytime. When we got to depot, took 4 calls, every 15 min, to get an answer. Asked re being awakened for the Aurora, like all other hotels, same driver said to set alarm every 1h & look. There but missed. No frig/microwave.
