Our stay at the Aurora Hotel in the main building -- just 2 doors down from the lobby -- was extremely quiet and comfortable. We heard almost no footsteps from the workmen staying on the second floor and did not notice them leaving in the morning. Check in, with a pretty blonde lady, was delightful. She helped with places to eat and gently broke the news that the restaurant where I'd wanted to eat --with a fireplace --was closed. The fridge held 2 hardboiled eggs, tangerines, kids juice boxes, tubular yoghurt, and fruit stuffed bars. The lobby had tea, coffee, oatmeal, cider & chocolate mixes. Additionally, there were choice items for purchase at VERY reasonable prices. The room was huge, a welcome relief after 2 days in Fairbanks at "luxury" place which had the toilet paper near my armpit... And the lodge at Chena Hot Springs with no ability to control the temperature except by opening a window!
