The place was clean and comfortable but had no frills. No cart to wheel your luggae in and had to wheel luggage thru gravel to get in building. Witteness an elderly couple having trouble getting in building due to man being in wheel chair and gravel. Customer service was like talking to robots gave information but not friendly. Even though the room was expensive everything was for a fee. No coffee in lounge or water. And on the check out day they were in a hurry for you to leave. They were knocking at your door by 8:00 in the morning and if you didnt answer right away they opened your door. There was no soap and very little shampoo in our bathroom.

Beautiful setting, Denali. Nice room and the view from the restaurant is wonderful. However, this is the loudest hotel. If you need a quiet spot, this is not for you. There is no insulation and every footstep, toilet flush, shower, can be heard in your room. AT least, try for a top floor - maybe it is better there.

There seemed to be nothing there but places to pay more (than $400/night!). Not even a small exercise room. The bathroom was a mess - door handle was broken so the door could not lock. The towel rack is about to fall out of the wall. There was Almost nothing in the shower soap bottles & they were vey hard to use. The room was sparse. Not even an extra blanket. The trash cans were tiny, so those eating take-out food had nowhere to throw trash. It had 1 thing going for it - a view of the mountains. You decide if that’s worth $400.

reviews of other guests are mostly right - this lodge is totally overpriced and poor quality that it can only survive because of lack of competition - nevertheless i would advise anyone to stay somewhere else at Denali. First night we find a fried chicken left over in the corner, second night we realize there is no service, not even the garbage they replaced, didnt mention it to us either - second day we found out the breakfast buffet has perhaps the worst hotel food in history, totally not worth it, then some of the staff- like the lady at the bar - disappears for long periods of time and is smoking outside while the guests are wondering where she is..... a sequence of bad experiences denoting a management that doenst care but does not hesitate is simply ripping off customers since they have no choice....... just stay somewhere else please

Despite the location of the property on a hillside, not all rooms have decent views. Parking does fill up around dinner/lunch time resulting in inconvenience for boarding guests. Front desk service could definitely be trained better to be more helpful and polite.

The property is conveniently located near the Denali National Park entrance. Perched on a hillside, the views are magnificent. Parking is somewhat limited, but many guests arrive by train and use the shuttle to the park. Tour busses- permitted to go the full 43 miles into the park- pick up right at the hotel. The room was comfortable and had a microwave, fridge and coffee maker.

The room was nice, the views were amazing. My only complaint is that there aren't enough parking spaces. I ended up parking in staff only parking area and just informed the front desk. Staff that interacted with were pleasant.

Nothing unique. It just seemed really pricey for what we received. On check in we were informed that we would get no maid service until after we checked out. We were told if we needed anything, we should call the front desk.

Even thought we didn't get a room with the view of the mountains we still like the property. Little expensive but i understand they are only open for 6 months out of the year. Clean and we enjoyed the restaurant

We recently stayed at your hotel for two nights, booking a standard room. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing due to several issues. Our room was located directly above the service laundry room, and we could hear loud noises and feel vibrations throughout the day, continuing until after 11 PM each night. This significantly affected our comfort. It’s hard to believe that the senior staff member at the front desk wasn’t aware of this issue, unless she was a new employee. Additionally, the water pressure in the shower was very low, making it difficult to wash, especially if you have long hair. The shampoo and conditioner dispensers were also problematic—one was empty, and both were difficult to use. The parking area and the driveway leading to it were unpaved, which made transporting our luggage to the front desk quite challenging, particularly since parts of the road made it impossible to use the luggage wheels. I can only imagine how much worse this would be in the rain. On a positive note, the waiter in the restaurant was excellent—helpful, friendly, and by far the best part of our stay.

It was above average lodge. The view was incredible! No vending machines and other than the substandard Aplenglow Restaurant (spelling?), then was no snacks available after 3 p.m. when the little coffee kiosk closed. It would have been nice to have at least vending machines for drinks and snacks.

They try to get you to purchase the $22 round trip or $16 one way transportation between hotel and train station, however they have a free shuttle that goes to the visitor center and it's just a walk across the road to the train station. $32 for breakfast buffet we skipped! They did text us to see if we needed anything and she was able to answer my questions before we arrived which was quite nice and appreciated

What a stunning property! Everything appeared to have been recently renovated- it could not have been more clean. The best view in the entire area, perched above the other properties but with a convenient shuttle to get you where you needed to be. The concierge texted us to check in and provide extra guidance, which was an extra-special touch. The breakfast was awesome, too!

There was so water in the morning when we woke up. I understand how things happen however, the front desk employee gave us attitude when we talked with him. There was no laundry facility for us to use after they reinstated the water. The portapotties were not brought out til 10:00 a.m. The rest of the staff were excellent

Expensive for what you get. Standard hotel room, small in room coffee maker, microwave and refrigerator. Coffee bar, bar & restaurant were expensive. No complimentary coffee available in lobby. Free shuttle available to downtown and to the park visitor center. Facility had issues with water one night so we had to use porta potty. Received small discount for this trouble. Thought we would receive an elevated “lodge” type experience but in no way did it meet that expectation.

The $31 breakfast buffet is absurd. Clearly the property is aware because the host felt obligated to tell us. Unfortunately, with the time we had prior to our excursion this was our only option. Also a host told me and my daughter the bar was open seating. After I ordered a drink and she ordered a soda an additinal bartender told us we weren't allowed. Finally dragging luggage through gravel to get to our room at a $400 accommodation is ridiculous.
