Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
I was dissapointed that the view from the room was a parking lot. I tried to change rooms but was told nothing was available with a view except for an ADA room. The walls were very thin and the room was noisy. The people above us sounded like a herd of elephants tromping back and forth.
The hotel shuttle was great.
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.
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.
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
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.
Everything was very well organized which made trip logistics very easy. Lodge is a nice location with great views.

Area around properties is beautiful however not super impressed with the room or the staff. Thinking that it is probably because it is at the end of the season.

No one was able to help when we were stuck outside our room in the middle of the night.
Property was definitely nice. Having a restaurant on sight was a good option, a bit pricey but convenient. Would’ve liked to have had a fitness room for quick workouts.
