The check-in staff were most unhelpful and unwelcoming. They assigned the wrong room, did not provide proper assistance and guidance and once we discovered what had happened they took ages to fix the problem and were most unapologetic about the inconvenience caused.

Large, well maintained property. Had difficulty finding one restaurant. An employee named Terrell had just finished his shift but still walked us to the location. Nice young man.

Great property, easy to get to on the road from Fairbanks. The restaurants have good and varied choices, the shops are creative. Our stay was good enough to extend a day. That being said, the rooms(building K) are not sound proofed and you do hear you neighbor and everyone walking by).

The location was very close to Denali Park. A bus available to take you there tho' I did not use it. The hotel had a variety of restaurants and fun shops. Also across the road were some shops and restaurants as well. We were not on a cruise but still really enjoyed this hotel.

Disliked: Staff & service
The check in process was very quick, however the staff only handed over a map and shared nothing about wifi, dining, or the return shuttle. Staff at the restaurants for seating were bored and seemed too eager for the season to be over. Waiter at Fannie Q was fabulous, though. The coffee shop was disorganized and sadly over priced for the quality. Just a reminder to treat all guests well until the last day. As local Alaskans we only want these hotels to do well.
