Reviews

I like that the lodge was somewhat isolated. The staff were very helpful. Also the view was great.
-
Staff were very helpful, room was very clean
-
Clean rooms. Amazing views of Mt. Denali
-
This is a fantastic place. We were independent guests, not in a tour. The buildings and grounds are beautifully maintained. The room was excellent, as was the restaurant. We were fortunate to get an excellent view of Mt. Denali right from their grounds. All that, and quite reasonably priced.
-
Room was clean and property was well maintained. Limited dining options.
-
A disappointing experience.
-
No fridge and the staff didn't help with some items I had. Windows didn't have Mosquito screen. No fitness room.
-
The lodge is a really lovely facility perfect for viewing Denali and it’s peak when the weather is wonderful. There is a limited activities for younger people, but we did really appreciate the fire pit and the lovely s’mores kits that were available.
-
Perfect little weekend getaway. I was not staying as part of a cruise, but the cruise vibe made the stay feel so much more relaxing. I was still welcomed with a smile and the staff at the property were super friendly. The food was decent, a bit on the pricier side, but understandable given the location. The rooms were a bit dated but still comfortable. Overall, it was a great experience and I’d likely go back if I was headed back up north.

Nice territory and nice lodge, view to the mountain is gorgeous.
-
very friendly staff
-
Staff was not pleasant at times very grumpy.
-
Was a beautiful place & very comfortable bed. Restaurants in walking distance & good food/service. We don’t drink coffee they have no tea options in the room. The cleaning staff knocked at 10 am wanting to clean our room he said so ready for next guests. I told him our checkout is 11 am. We left at 10:30.
-
Spacious rooms. Bathrooms lacked some amenities such as body lotion.
-
My only complaint was we were on the lower floor by the entrance, so we heard lots of suitcases being rolled up and down the hall at early mornings and evenings. It would probably help if they had carpet in the small reception areas rather than tile. i understand there isn’t much they can do about that dealing with bus loads of people. The staff was great to move our room to the same building our friends were staying at.
-
Super clean place to stay with nice staff. Service at 20320 Alaskan grill was terrible and food was okay. No air conditioning in our room but we did have a window that opened and ceiling fan. Note that property is 1 mile from Denali state park but 2 hour drive from Denali National Park! Something we didn’t realize until after we booked.

1-Debris/candy wrappers on the floor as we came in 2-Damaged drywall in bathroom, poor/rundown appeal 3-Bonk bend squeezed in so tight a spot my kid could not use/climb up ladder 4-Had to tell son to try futon instead 5-No hot water 6-Attempts to repair close to midnight, while family in bed already 7-Huge intrusion/trespass of family privacy 8-No other room option offered 9-No attempt to resolve/make up for worst night/room we've had 10-Refusal to offer even partial credit for service that was very expensive, yet did not deliver Amazing location, SADLY AWEFUL MEMORY –– UNACCEPTABLE! CAREFUL!

Great view of the mountain!!
-
Beautiful setting. Quiet, comfortable room. Lots of activities such as hunts for s’mores. Restaurant food quality was mediocre.
-
The lodge was a good place to stay but both cabins we were assigned to did not have an elevator. When you are traveling for a few weeks, your luggage tends to be very heavy. With no elevator, and no offer for staff assistance, it was quite a haul up the stairs. Bathrooms had not been updated, though the room was clean. Additionally, there was no refrigerator in the room.
