Reviews

Convenient to the park and the tour I took. Location had nice views but not from my room which faced the parking lot. There was no safe in the room. They said they had them at reception but I didn't find that convenient. Yet they had a microwave oven!

Very good

Hotel is in a beautiful location and everything was good. Except the front desk lady. She didn't seem like she wanted to be at the front desk to greet people. Wasnt friendly to approach.

The service staff were excellent! Our only complaint was that the bed wasn’t made correctly.

The location is on the hill and you need to take a shuttle to reach downtown area for better meal options. The shuttle runs every 30 minutes and the drivers are kind and will provide a lot of useful information and advice.

Helpful front desk staff. Train depot transfers and baggage handling. Courtesy shuttle buses from the hotel to the Denali Visitor Centre and downtown. Onsite self-service laundry facilities. Onsite expresso coffee. Onsite restaurant had a limited menu and is overpriced.

The room was big and the view was amazing and spectacular. We enjoyed the view most. The restaurant food was tasty and good. The staff was friendly

Clean room, amazing view
-
Staff just seemed indifferent. So I can only give credit to the restaurant. Stay for a dinner there, and spend rest of your money for better accommodation and attitude in resorts where people care.
-
Great view from outside the resturant. Large room. Free shuttle to town. For a top class lodge they need to work on a few things. Very expensive. There was no housekeeping for a 2 night stay not even to empty the rubbish bins. Don't buy the boxed lunch if you're planning on doing a bus ride into the park. The food is inedible. wasted $24. Some of the staff could do with some training on customer service.

Very friendly welcome, thanks!

$145 for 2 entrees and app no drinks. $176 with tip. The “bread bowl” was 3 tiny pieces of foccocia for $15!
-
Spent $500+ for 1 night overlooking the dusty parking lot with tour buses.
-
Great views but on a high cliff which means relying on buses and additional transportation costs in the Denali park area. It was clean but we did get a room which had an elevator next to it and lots of sound from the clothes washing room too. In terms of baggage transfer from the railroad depot to the hotel, we experienced some mishaps with our luggage too and had to complain about missing-materials / torn bags. The Lodge pointed fingers at the Alaska Railroad while the train depot claimed that usually it’s the hotel staff that transfer the luggage in a rough manner. So not entirely a pleasant experience but the views were amazing ofcourse. Can’t complain about Denali!
