This was a great place to stay if you want to be close to shops, restaurants, activities and to Denali National Park. When you are in Alaska there is so much to see and do, so having a comfortable bed to sleep on at night is all that is important.

The cabin was really cozy and the staff were helpful. Not many owners tell you that they built their own places like this, which heightened my respect as we need more hard workers like him. Beds were cozy and showers were nice and hot. Will be coming again next time.

Room was huge with big kitchen. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Good location. There is no elevator, but it’s only one flight of stairs. It is a funky building on the exterior and on the boardwalk with lots of shops and dining options. More importantly, they are right across the road from the Princess property that has free shuttles every half hour to all the National Park places. The property will pick up and drop off from the train as well.

The staff was excellent and the room was nice, in good shape, and bathroom was clean. Nice door locks via key code. Truly a motel lodge with no elevators, no indoor accommodations, or food. Older TV with limited stations. However, they own the Denali boardwalk with lots of food options including Chinese food. Right across the street from the Denali Princess Lodge where all the buses and tour shuttles pickup and dropoff.

As the name says, this was a basic motel with whole lot of RVs. Pictures shown were when it was new. Check in was easy but with a lot of rules, which we had to agree individually. It was clean at least with a working coffee machine, little fridge and microwave. First day I had parking issue as I reached the property late. Overall, I felt it was too expensive for what we got.

Clean, no frills room, certainly not enough to justify the price. Our neighbor has been blasting music since 7am and there aren’t blackout curtains, so if you’re a light sleeper this may not be the place for you. Be aware that some rooms involve a long flight of stairs. The location near the park is good, but we’re glad we’re only spending one night here.
