Very pretty setting and nice lodge restaurant and viewing area for Mt. Denali. Was not told there wasn't an elevator for our room and my husband is not able to carry luggage. It was very difficult to get the bags up the stairs.

Disappointed
The compound is lovely spread across the hillside. We had dinner and breakfast on location and the service was poor at best. This property is clearly a cruise ship stopover. We were a private booking. Waiting on a bus for transportation is a hassle, we learned to rent a vehicle in AK next trip. The views help make things better but service needs to improve in the large restaurant.

Setup for your buses not individuals
Room was a typical hotel room clean. The issue was the setup of the whole place it was scattered everywhere and parking was atrocious. Minimal parking half in the mud if you could find a spot. Then you had to walk a long ways to get to your building and room. Seemed to be setup for tour buses not individuals. Not recommended

Very nice resort with many things to do - hiking trails, a couple onsite restaurant choices - nightly fire pit with s’mores and cocktails. This resort is huge! And we wish we had booked more than one night here. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat! The bed is sooo comfy, best night sleep of our trip

Property was a little outdated but still nice. This Mississippi girl needs her AC year round and there isn’t any. Luckily we could open a window for cool air. Stayed one night to break up our trip from Fairbanks to Anchorage. Don’t get this lodge confused with the one near Denali like I did.

This place is a huge resort and for us walking to a room uphill was not the best. If you are looking for a resort with resort amenities, and the prices to match, you will love this place. We thought that with the word, Denali in the description, we would be right next to the park and this is not accurate at all. My room price per night was 159 so I thought that was a good bargain. Front desk staff were very friendly.

In the Denali! View was spectacular! Exactly what you would expect. Did not realize we were so far from park entrance, but overall the grounds are amazing. Food was very underwhelming but we just needed a place to sleep and this was just fine.
