Stop in Denali

It was brief. The accommodations were nice and the property well maintained. The restaurant was excellent.
KATHLEEN, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved our view from room 2629. The room was spacious and had a great view. Only thing is you can’t park near your building, but they have a golf cart to take you and your luggage to your room. It’s stairs only if you are on the second floor. But would definitely stay here again.
Brandi, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very clean. Deluxe room was worth the minimal extra cost. Lovely view. Parking and bringing luggage to room not convenient. You could very easily hear the room above. Woke us up multiple times.
sara, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel is ok but expensive for what it is. Happened to be there when it was hot. I understand that they don’t have air conditioning but we could not get a fan to increase airflow in the room.
Andrew, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Does not accommodate people with vehicles well.

The hotel accommodations people traveling via train. If you arrive in a car the parking and service is limited. We had to park two lots down, and lug our baggage up to our rooms. This is the equivalent of about 4-5 sets of stairs. Supposedly you can get a person to assist you, but no one was available. The resteraunt on site was not open, so you either have to shuttle, walk a great distance or walk a great distance to your car ans risk not having a space when you return. If you are driving, I would not recommend.

Great place to stay while exploring Denali.
Anne, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

I had my expectations low considering it’s a hillside hotel even though it was $400/night. The room was very average with limited towels and awful soaps. The towel bar was broken and when I called front desk no one answered. We spend two nights and the rooms were not cleaned. My husband was upset at the rough blankets and bedsheets and the super loud heating system. I am shocked this hotel has good reviews. I do not recommend this hotel for this price. It was load as you can hear people walk above and talk Nextdoor.

10/10 Exceptional

Literally can’t get any closer to the entry of Denali NP. After long drive up from Anchorage and hours in Denali NP, great that we do close to hotel. One caution though if driving to hotel. They have EXTREMELY limited parking. Like 8 parking spots on top tier closest to hotel. Two other lower tiers down the hill. I ended up parking at bottom tier. So plan to drop your bags and not have to drag them up the hill. Our room was spacious and comfy with awesome views of surrounding area. Great black out curtains as it was never dark out during our stay. Comfortable bed. We ate at The Mountaineer, the onsite hotel. Service and food were good. Other than parking only other downside was walks were quite thin. You can hear when your neighbors are showering or talking. Little cafe on site in lobby to get breakfast. Was quite good. Traveling with my parents. They stayed in cheaper room. Did not have a balcony and had view of other cabins. You are in Alaska and at Denali NP. Pay extra. Get room with the view.

near Denali National Park--however if you have mobility issues not a good place to stay as lots of walking required to get to your room.
