Great location. Very prompt service. They’d help you with even those amenities that are not in their regular offering, just ask for it. Amazing restaurants in the property with good food options and beautiful outdoor patios with views of river and mountains.

The hotel was amazing! Beautiful lobby/fireplace area. Everything is spread out and easy to find. Loved our room, rustic, but modern. Restaurant and bar great. Wished we could have stayed longer.

The property is located in a beautiful area with convenient access to nearby dining options. The staff were friendly and welcoming. However, the hotel itself felt outdated and lacked basic amenities. We also experienced plumbing issues, and the toilet was not functioning properly, which affected our overall comfort.

Accommodation is in two storey lodges around the site. We were on the ground floor of one and that made getting the cases in easier but the downside was how much you could hear people upstairs walking around and using the bathroom and they were very early risers! Room & bed comfortable, fairly basic facilities in room but had all you needed. Great location for touring Denali park with free shuttle bus available and the Tundra Wilderness tour we went on picked up from the hotel.

Was given a room facing the dumpster. Need I say more? Request to assign a different one was met with “we are sold out”. Which just meant they didn’t want to give that room to someone else.

I asked for a quiet room, but the one we stayed was next to the room with a vendor machine, washer and dry, and an ice maker machine. The power went off for three hours, as well as running water in the evening time.

This is the place to stay in Denali National Park. It's very close to the entrance of the park. And the free transportation from the Lodge to the train depot, the Park Visitor Center, the Horseshoe Lake trail runs very often and very efficient. The Lodge is a quaint, beautiful village with cabins and restaurants and walking paths and free shuttle running throughout. Beautiful flower baskets hanging everywhere you look. Not to mention a roaring Alaska river right next to the Lodge. It reminded me of a Disney Village resort but more authentic. Princess has done a great job with this place
