Galena Vacations from $847

Generally, I think the property was in very good condition… We miss that the hot tub is not working. But it’s not a dealbreaker. The front desk crew were very cordial generally had good customer service skills… Steve did a very nice job of trying to deal with a very difficult customer. The only thing we found was that the room was. Very warm… Which made it difficult for us to sleep. But probably great for those coming to Alaska and all bundled up.

Clean rooms, friendly staff, excellent breakfast buffet.

The owner was delightful. We arrived late due to a flight delay and since our Uber driver left for another fare she gave us a ride to our room, which was a half mile away at a separate property. Also the breakfast was fabulous with many homemade items. The property was clean and comfortable.

I prefer non chain even though can be on scale from charming to quirky to avoid. For me, this fell in quirky range. Appreciate late night check in but then flights from lower 48 seem to mostly be arriving late night. Only needed to stay one night. Bed was comfortable for me. Asked for ground floor since traveling with heavy luggage. After 18 hours travel, 4 hour time difference, and arriving 130 am local time (530 am “my time”, it was confusing to be sent down the road to second property. Paper map provided was NOT to scale and a clearer map would have helped my travel fog brain (I make maps as secondary part of my job). For me, fine for an overnight only. Not the closest to airport. But mid May seems like perpetual twilight in Fairbanks with little traffic and well marked streets. GPS directions to main place were accurate.

Hot spring was lovely, property was interesting.
