The "Griz" is located across the road from a departure point for most tours and activities. The rooms in the hotel section have a view of the river and it's quiet!

This was our most expensive stay during our whole trip in Alaska but our least favorite. The location was great as it was close to Denali national park. There was also nice trails nearby and we even got to see a moose on one of the trails. The rooms were clean but no fridge or microwave. There was a microwave in the store that we could use but not until 9 am. Also, wifi was only included for the first 30 minutes and then you would have to pay for longer. Also the shower would get cold pretty quickly.

Great view of trees along a creek. Good clean ADA accessible room, but beds needed more pillows and blankets. Limited food trucks are on site (Jamaican and Thai). You can drive 6 miles for more food options. All in all, seeing Denali National Park, was worth any other inconvenience.

Clean, comfortable, competitive price
Room was very clean and comfortable. Price $300 for two beds, much less than resort across the highway. Fills up depending on cruise bookings.

The rv dump station was across from our building and stunk, but we had to keep our window open, because there was no air conditioning and it was hot inside the room. There was no fan to cool things down either. The wifi is charged $20 per day per device, which is outrageous. We much preferred the White Moose Lodge a few miles away for comfort and conveniences (and free wifi).

Rooms are good and location is scenic . But away from dine in options. No free WiFi ( more than 30 mins everyday ) , which we encountered first time compare to many hotels and resorts . Cleaning service is only when ask for it. Everyday I have I ask for supplies for making coffee . On site dining options of Thia and Spanish food truck were Ok

For the price, no amenities. Small beds. We were led to believe I booked a room with the balcony over the river and instead was provided a room overlooking the parking lot. Less than friendly ladies in the check-in office. I wish we had stayed across the street; we went there to hang out, dine.

Big negative is that they don’t provide free Wi-Fi service even after charging so much money per day. We had yo buy it for 20 dollars per phone per day which is very absurd unlike other hotels near by. I will go for other properties near Denali visitor center.

This place was fantastic. Conveniently located to the National Park, and close enough to restaurants and shopping without being in the middle of things. Lovely view of the river and woods, with rooms that were clean and cute. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We had an excellent stay and would recommend it to anyone!

The room was clean and spacious enough for 3 people. My husband loved how the balcony faced the beautiful river and mountains. Every so often, the train would go by, which we got a kick out of. The location is very close to the NP Bus Depot and Visitor Center. The only down side was there was not a lot of amenities on the property. There was a Thai and a Mexican food truck. We tried the Thai one night and it was good. For a good cup of coffee, the Denali NP Bus Depot is about a 10-15 minute drive away. They open at 5:30 am and have Starbucks. It's quite light most of the day so getting up at 5 or 6 is easy. It was in the 80s when we were there and quite warm in the room. I heard this high of a temperature is atypical. Not sure if the front desk had fans or not.

This property had a lovely location. Our balcony looked right out over the Nanana River and had a great view of the mountains. There was a great restaurant across the street and another hotel. The grizzly had several food trucks none of which we tried. Our only complaint was the fact that there was no one on call from about nine at night to 10 in the morning. We had an absolutely insane neighbor who was screaming and banging on the doors and there was no help to be had. But the location was great. The rooms were very clean. The staff were very friendly. It would be nice if there was a refrigerator . But they did have an ice machine.
