I loved this stay. Room was a bit hot because the curtains were open before we checked in and the sun was beaming into the room but once we opened the sliding glass door it cooled down a bit. The whole lodge and area/river is super cool

This is a camp site, not a hotel. A grade C camp site. If you will be paying a hotel price for a cabin, you are being fooled.

For what was charged, the room had no free wifi, no microwave and no mini fridge. The office closed early and opened late for a resort! No restaurant or even a cafe! Food truck on premises was terrible! Would never recommend!

Beautiful setting. We had a hotel room overlooking the river. We thought we read on Expedia that we would have a microwave and fridge. We had neither. We heated water in the coffee maker to make oatmeal and ramen noodles.

The room was clean however, i believe we were the first day of the season and felt the room needed to be aired out a little bit.It seemed a little musty. There was plenty of parking and beds were comfortable. They do not serve breakfast

This place is a great location to Denali which is why we stayed, however when we come back we will be trying out another place for the reasons listed below. Pros : the view in the back is gorgeous, the check in & check out process was easy, and this location offered plentiful parking. The beds were comfortable Cons: the train comes by and is so loud it had me awake 2 nights in a row, there is NO FRIDGE in the room and no water station by the ice station for each building , this was widely annoying and you have to pay for Wi-fi for after signing up for the free 30 minutes, in 2026 just not cool - it also needs a spruce of maixtenance.

Good place to stay close to Denali National Park. Be prepared the office and store up front are often not open and hair dryer in our room didn't work. When you read the reviews about the morning wake up call from the train going by its legit. Overall not a bad place and we were able to book last minute. Be aware they sell rooms out to other parties so if you call and they say they are all booked they might not be. We called the actual lodge they said they were all booked then we were able to book through somewhere else. Its safe, clean, beds are alright, showers and toilets function as they should, worked good for us. If you hike enough you can fall back asleep after the 330AM train whistle. 😂
