This was a great place. It was close to rhe National Park but had some amenities on site. We dis the dinner show and it was very entertaining. The rooms are a bit small but there is so much to do that being in your room hardly seems appropriate. Would stay here again.

Very nice place. Shuttle gives 6 mile ride to Denali National Park, but has shuttle service from hotel only at 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, 11:00, 2:00, 5:00. No Uber or Taxis are available. Food is somewhat limited as there isn’t much other than the lodge restaurant and burger place. Food is mediocre and somewhat expensive. Thai food truck and Chinese food truck at the Denali Bear across the street is excellent.

The facility sits on a gorgeous piece of property with a river running behind it, a walking path, and an education center that can be used by young and old to study the surrounding area. Our room was old, blinds were tattered, it was however clean.

Good location, lacking in character

Decent lodge with all the facilities required but was a little dark and also a lot of road noise from a nearby bridge as well as noise from the railway. The restaurant was decent food but because of the large groups and open plan style did not feel particularly cosy / intimate as a restaurant.

Mediocre Stay

It’s an old place, heating wasn’t working, and the fan in the bathroom was obnoxious. Some of the power outlets didn’t work, and when we told them about the issues, they asked us to wait a couple of hours.

The cabin we were given was very small, the electric heater could not warm the room past 60 and when we asked for another cabin we were told they were sold out and were sorry about the heater. The room was so small there was not enough space between the bed and wall to get to the bathroom comfortably.

We had to take our luggage up a flight of stairs. My 78 year old mother cannot do that so there was a worker there that assisted. This is mostly tailored to tour companies. It was one of the last nights of the season so food was near the end.

Loved being on the river! Front desk said we were on 1st floor but our room was actually on 2nd floor. We didn’t have any hot water at 8:30 in the morning to shower. Nice lobby area but restaurant/bar was only open till 9:00. We ended up having to go elsewhere to eat a late dinner. Overall it was a good place and would stay there again
