Cruise crowds

This is a princess cruise hotel. Lots of tour travelers arriving and leave at the same time. Large groups reserve dinner but if there’s only 2 of you, you get in right away. The groups are managed well. Good shuttle to the park.

Huge motel. The lobby is like a train station. The maintenance of the rooms is not good. We got stuck with a broken lock in the room and had to go to the lobby three times until they changed the lock.

I wish I had looked up this place sooner in my itinerary! I was not aware that the cruise line also had a hotel line and this place was by far one of the best stays in AK. Not only is it a convenient location with amazing convenience to get to the parks, but it is also a village in itself with lots of shopping and dining options. Although we did have an issue at one of their restaurants with their waiter, overall the stay was great. The rooms are clean and the staff was helpful with planning a day at Denali and transportation. They offer shuttles to and from the park and they even picked up our luggage at the train depot so we could head directly to the park. The luggage was delivered to our room so we didn't have to worry about it at all and everything was very professional (except for the waiter). All in all, I would recommend this stay but figured it was best for a weekend stay than one night. The location is also surrounded by other lodges and walkable distance to other shopping and dining areas across the street. During cruise check in and check out times, the lobby can get a bit crazy but somehow they still manage to organize the crowd accordingly so those taking a tour can also find their correct bus. I would stay here again. Definitely left a positive impression.

The DEnali Wilderness Princess is set in the heart of the beautiful Denali region. This hotel, and all it offers, is like a well-oiled machine. They take care of everything. The restaurants are quite good - including the ones they "co-share" with the Holland America "sister" hotel nextdoor. Loved it!

The property was very busy. They have limited parking for guests and we had to park on the street. Our guest room had black mold and mildew in the bathroom which produced a strong smell and affected our allergies. I would have tried to change rooms but we were staying near our family. I did alert management to this problem. Hopefully they take care of it for the future. Breakfast options were limited/or very expensive.
