The staff was just wonderful…I had a small glitch with my reservation but there were no problems, only solutions. My first time to Denali, so I had a lot of questions…and they all had great answers. Wonderful place. Stay in building 26! Best views in a property with generally great views.

Not sure how to answer, we were only there one night. Slept well.

Very expensive for solo person in a very basic room with no breakfast included and limited paid options in cafe for breakfast. No restaurant operational on site so had to walk to village for dinner, totally booked out everywhere. Free shuttle bus was a good addition.

Alex and Lydia were awesome at the bar and restaurant. We did not get maid service. Check-in was great. We did not get a view.

It was a convenient location with a clean room. It is showing it's age and the comfort level for the price was not what I would expect. It is Alaska though.

Comfortable rooms with good hot water. Food options both for breakfast and dinner were expensive and eminently forgettable - walk down to the Denali Downtown area to eat. Front desk staff were a mix of friendly and helpful to surly and unhelpful. Shuttle bus driver slept in, meaning we missed out tour bus. On reflection, we would not stay here again, although Denali as a whole is an expensive and disappointing tourist trap.

We stayed in room 2629 for 2 nights May 2025. The hotel had just opened for the season. Staff get 10/10 for being welcoming, responsive and respectful. Our room was perfect! On the end of the lodge, 2nd floor with a wrap around balcony, providing stunning views of the mountains and river below. We could not have asked for better, especially just coming off a disappointing 2-night stay at the McKinley Lodge, Trappper Creek. The entrance to Denali Park is less than 1 minute down the road - perfect for early access to the park. We also had a wonderful Salmon Salad at the Black Diamond Grill in Healy (10 minutes north).

We were assigned a room in one of the newer buildings and it was very nice and spacious. We had a gorgeous view of the mountain. We arrived on the first day that this property opened for the season. The reason for a 4-star rather than a 5-star rating is due to our feeling that things were not quite up to speed for opening day along with the fact that the lobby is not terribly welcoming. Our other Alaska accommodations - as well as others that we visited while in Denali - offered comfortable furniture for gathering and relaxing with travel companions. This property did not offer this. Their shuttle service was all that one could ask for. Over all, our stay here was nice.

I cannot say enough about our room. It was huge and the view of the national park was outstanding. Sitting on the balcony was wonderful! The staff was attentive. Every question was answered immediately. My only complaints: 1) very limited menu at the restaurant (I asked to use the children’s menu but was denied) and 2) the grab and go needs more items, even if they don’t expand the menu. We could only eat one of the four breakfast sandwiches. We got the last one our first morning and had to share it. They were out of it the second morning and we tried the chorizo burrito but it was way too spicy to eat before the national park hike. The location of the property was ideal!

Very clean. Wonderful staff. The TV system is not working. They are aware of the problem, but depend on distance repair support. I understand. The bed quality was fair. Some new, better-supportive mattresses would be nice. Overall, it is very good, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Potentially a very nice place. We were among the first to check in on day one of the season. They were clearly not ready for prime time. Restaurant closed, rest rooms in main building out of order, serious ongoing problems with hot water. Front desk staff inconsistent in responding to our concerns. I can only trust that things will improve but avoid the first week.

Everything is great except the internet. The hotel details promises a free wifi but it doesn’t work. It was working fine in the hotel lobby so not sure why it cant be made available in rooms. When we informed at the front desk we were told it was due to the weather but I don’t think that is true. We were here for multiple days and it didnt work.

near Denali National Park--however if you have mobility issues not a good place to stay as lots of walking required to get to your room.
