So, the tour operator - gave us an extra experience of going to Ice Alaska as an included excursion - which was a nice surprise. She also prearranged for us to have a reservation at a local restaurant which again was likely smart given a Friday night might have wasted a lot of time waiting to be seated otherwise. Chena Hot Springs needs a lot of updating and repair. While the hot springs are hot - everything is terribly dated and used so pretty rough shape. Pool, hot tubs, walkways - locker rooms ... Unfortunately no northern lights too many clouds.
