cancellation rules need to be better detailed.
I booked 2 nights. Because of a change of our job we had to cut our trip shorter. So I had to cancel one night. I gave over 2 months notice but was still charged 30% of one night. I made a comment that they could rent the night to someone else and was told that they could not do that???
This seemed unfair.

This is like an upscale dorm room with very thin walls. But the property was well-located close to entrance of Denali Park, and lots of food and shopping options right there.

Did not give option of ground floor accommodation. It was very difficult for me to climb the stairs to the room. Also when asked if there was any shuttle service to post office the clerk said no they didnt have any. They never bothered to tell us about the park shuttle that was available with reservations. Same when asked about shipping supplies or services. The clerk said no there wasnt any. Did not mention the store directly in front of them had shipping supplies and services
But the room was beautiful and it was a pleasure to stay in it

Property was remodeled and spacious, kitchen is well equipped. price $300 is a little high for a motel room. Location is very good, right by the boardwalk shops.

Was in Denali for four nights, though only could book the Princess Lodge for three. There are around seven hotels/motels close to the Denali entrance, Rainbow Village one of them, so it gets points for its proximity to the park. Stayed one night, walking my bags across the highway. Night and day from the beautiful and comfy Denali Princess. I get that for budget reasons (though it is still pricey) and availability (hard to get rooms elsewhere) some will choose Rainbow Village. To be fair the room was larger than the Princess, though lacking any charm or character. Still, it was clean, including the bathroom. Staff was friendly such as the super personable driver to the bus station, Kevin, who handles many chores. Another plus is several places to eat are within walking distance, yet could also walk to the Princess Lodge (and others) with their many restaurants. The whole building, including the hallways, the tiny office, etc. simply look very second rate. Was also noisy in the evening and morning as one family chose to allow other guests to also experience the joy of their loud child running the hall, the family keeping its door open. (Some are simply clueless.) Thankfully, at least at night that didn’t last too long. Overall Rainbow Village is certainly OK. But if able to splurge a bit more, especially traveling a great distance to Denali, for a more relaxing and upscale experience should try and book one of the others nearby, if available.

Plain but comfortable and convenient. Could do with some renovating but the room was large and close to main boardwalk.
Kevin the friendly driver was fantastic. He did the free pickup and drop off from train depot and provided helpful local advice. Kevin also went above and beyond in assisting another client who had a minor disability.

The room was very dated and the bed was very uncomfortable. It bothered me that they charge for internet on top of that.

Basic, but much better than expected. Excellent location. Rainbow RV’s shuttle driver was the most helpful and friendly person at the complex. A real asset to the establishment.

Had a very nice stay here. The motel is conveniently located near restaurants and the places to sign up for adventurous (Zipline g, ATV rides, flights around Denali, rafting, etc). And right down the street from the park entrance. The room was clean and a nice value for the price, but we could hear neighbors on either side of us.

Nice little cabin in the middle of the RV park. Clean and quiet. Some of the furniture could be upgraded (desk chair was broken) but overall good for the price.

Kevin the van driver was super friendly and helpful! The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The only problem was they made us move rooms agter one night (they did email me that information right after we booked, so at least it wasn't a surprise).

The manager made special arrangements for us to be picked up after normal hours from a Denali tour and took us to the hotel for a late check-in. The driver was friendly, courteous, and very accommodating to our itinerary.
6.0
The location is so convenient. We were able to walk across the street and get on the Princess bus which would take us into Denali for free. It was easy to walk to good restaurants. So the location was perfect. However the staff was not always helpful (except Kevin who picked us up at the train depot - he was the best!). Anyway the bathroom was sort of clean and the rooms were very basic. It was ok for a couple of nights. The beds were not comfortable and the 2 pillows were the smallest flattest pillows we have ever seen.
8.0
The exterior of the lodge and office looks awful; the room is plain, with exposed unpainted pipes, but the bath was new and fine (except for a noisy fan), the bedspread and pillowcases delightful for the location, and the bear lamp wonderful. The best thing about our stay was the wonderful, helpful staff. We requested a 1st floor room due to our age (late 80s) and got one with accessible ramp & shower. We requested a shuttle and had the most wonderful driver, helper, and all-around good man in Kevin!
