Quick status update:

Springhill Suites in Fairbanks - was told to expect $10 to $15 discount from list, so $74-$79 per night. Will have confirmation of this tomorrow, but is contingent on booking a minimum of ten rooms. Otherwise, we can book the AAA rate at $80 per night (haven't checked to see what the government rate might be in case anyone qualifies for that).

Alaska Railroad Train+Flight - It is priced separately, and is actually cheaper if we each book under the Fur Rondy one-way promotion ($99) and simply book a one-way flight on AS ($139).

Chena Hot Springs Resort - 20% discount off rack rate for 10 or more room nights. Not sure if we'll have enough people to qualify. They're getting full so we'll need to decide on this one fairly soon. No discount offered on activities, but I can keep trying.

I think those were the big outstanding questions, so once I've confirmed with the Marriott folks the rate, I'll post a final list of all costs.

Does anyone have any thoughts/concerns on any of the hotels?

What about activities while in Chena?
