Bathroom was pathetic. Exhaust fan didn't work, bathroom lock doesn't work, commode was old and dirty. TV in the room was very old; picture quality was very bad. Not worth it.

Was pleasantly surprised by the modern rooms and extremely clean as well. Breakfast choices were limited and all were premade. Had a great restaurant and bar with music and Mountain View for dinner. Ate at Princess Hotel across the street several times for breakfast buffet, lunch, and dinner. Shuttle was very convenient to Denali Visitor Center and to the “downtown” area of gift shops and a few small restaurants.

It is approximately a 10 minute walk down to town. They do offer shuttle drop off and pickup also. The Mountaineer Grill & Bar at the Bluffs has excellent food, drinks, and service. It was a pleasant stay.

Staff was great, very helpful and ready to assist with anything you need. Room was clean, beds were comfortable. The restaurant on the property is quite tasty but way over-priced. But when you're tired and it's late, it sure comes in handy. The only area for improvement would be the laundry room was slightly dirty -- from people not picking up after themselves and the smell from the septic system seemed to flare up every now and again. The property itself is lovely. I would recommend.

Nice new modern lodge up in the hill just up the road from Denali Park entrance. The Denali Park tour bus picked us up right at the front door, so this is a very convenient place. There is an on-site bar and Grill as well as a convenience store. It’s about a mile from other dining options, but we did not explore those. We were here for one night and the next morning took the bus tour into the park And then went home.

Great cafe, bar and restaurant on property, very convenient. Balcony was very spacious with a gorgeous view. Loved the hotel's luggage to train/bus depot transport; that was such a huge plus for us since our train did not depart until 4pm and we wanted to do some excursions until the very last minute. By the time we arrived at the train depot our luggage was already there, all we had to do is check-in and board!

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.
