Exceeded Expectations! The rooms were modern and clean. The facility had a fantastic view of the valley and a professionally run bar and restaurant. Even at the tale end of the season the staff was helpful, cheerful and we felt welcome. The food was delicious in the restaurant for dinner. We skipped the buffet at breakfast, heading out every day early, but found the lattes and choices at grab and go food acceptable. The shuttle ran every 40 minutes so no need for a car. We would stay again.
Views of a rainbow from the bar and restaurant.

We were very pleased with our stay. The room was comfortable and the staff was great. The only disappointment was the time it took for the shuttle to leave the train station to get to the lodge. Every other hotel shuttle was gone long before we left. Maybe due to the large number of people who needed to be checked in.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 amazing thing about this hotel is that it is 5 minutes from the entrance to Denali National Park, which is what you are paying for. Otherwise, it is a similar to a generic standard hotel, there's not much dining options except for a coffee shop with limited food in the morning and a super fancy restaurant in the evening. If you want anything in between, you need to drive or take their shuttle, it is not walkable to other parts of the town.
