Mat-Su Resort

10/10 Excellent
"The room was very spacious and clean, and had a patio or balcony looking out to a beautiful lake. They did not offer breakfast- but they had a restaurant that we did not go to. We stayed there twice- on our up to Denali NP, and on our way back. There are no elevators, so the first time we were on the second floor- but on our return- we requested a first floor room- which was much more convenient! It was a very nice property- and I would stay there again if we are ever in that area!"
