This hotel in Denali has the very location of all hotels, on a mountain overlooking the park. Great old charm, lots of wood and timber inside, excellent restaurant, and a great, young, energetic and pleasant staff. The shuttle bus gives great transportation to all relevant points. Cannot thank them enough for a wonderful vacation there.

The dinners in the lodge were pricey but excellent. Most people staying there arrive by bus and parking is limited if you have a car. Our room had a great view of mountains and the river. Room was comfortable.

We were very happy with our choice of booking this lodge. We loved the stunning view, the proximity to Denali visitors center, and the responsiveness and kindness of the service staff. It was nice to be picked up for our Tandra wilderness bus tour from the hotel. The hotel provides shuttle service, but we didn’t need it as we had a rental car.

You can’t beat this location! Views views views! It’s also 8 minutes from the Denali National Park entrance, as well as a couple minutes to downtown for shopping and dining. We also appreciated being able to dine on-site at their restaurant (more great views). Rooms themselves were modern and clean. Good water pressure. Watch for the funny road signs on the drive up to the hotel!

This is a nice lodge with beautiful views. Very expensive. The restaurant accepts payment by credit card, not to the room. Roa is partly unpaved.

This property was nice, but nothing that stood out. The view from the lodge lobby and dining room was great. The rooms need more sound proof insulation.

Staff was very friendly. Like that they provide free transportation to and from the visitor center and downtown. Rooms were clean and we were actually able to check in early since the room was ready. Didn’t have to wait until 4pm. I would recommend hotel. It was a very pleasant stay!!

We had a beautiful view of Denali National Park from our room. The room was exceptional, lots of space, and very up to date! The parking was not that good with minimal parking spaces on the main level of the lodge (it was mainly a drop off area for a bus or shuttle). There was overflow parking lots down the hill so people had to hike up the dirt road to get to the lodge.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean and comfortable as was the rest of the property. The shuttle was very helpful to get to the park and the town. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food choices are very limited and expensive, so plan accordingly. The property sits high on a bluff so the views were great, but made walking from the lodge to any where impossible. I found the walls to be very thin. Starting early in the morning, people were clomping around in their hiking boots leaving for various tours. Kind of comes with the territory.

It was lovely with lovely views.But it was not meant for 80 & 90 yo's, which we were. The loose gravel pathways were dangerous for my 90 yo husband and even for my 80 yo self. Dinner wzn't impressive but that might have bn due to oiu concerns, plan to shorten our stay & need to make chgs to oure reserv'ns.

The room has the feel of a Holiday Inn, withoutmthe included breakfast. The room only had a desk chair, while it had plenty of room for additional furniture. The lobby, bar, and dining area were beautiful. Clearly, this was where they spent they’re money. Place would have been fine overall for $150/night, but not $500.

Nice view from the property. Have to take shuttle to all amenities. Expensive. Most staff were nice. Room was clean and large and easy to get to. Make sure to let them know if coming in by train and what time, otherwise room not ready until 4pm. Was told they would call us when room was ready and did not get a call. Check out 10am.
