I was dissapointed that the view from the room was a parking lot. I tried to change rooms but was told nothing was available with a view except for an ADA room. The walls were very thin and the room was noisy. The people above us sounded like a herd of elephants tromping back and forth. The hotel shuttle was great.

Beautiful setting, Denali. Nice room and the view from the restaurant is wonderful. However, this is the loudest hotel. If you need a quiet spot, this is not for you. There is no insulation and every footstep, toilet flush, shower, can be heard in your room. AT least, try for a top floor - maybe it is better there.

Despite the location of the property on a hillside, not all rooms have decent views. Parking does fill up around dinner/lunch time resulting in inconvenience for boarding guests. Front desk service could definitely be trained better to be more helpful and polite.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
reviews of other guests are mostly right - this lodge is totally overpriced and poor quality that it can only survive because of lack of competition - nevertheless i would advise anyone to stay somewhere else at Denali. First night we find a fried chicken left over in the corner, second night we realize there is no service, not even the garbage they replaced, didnt mention it to us either - second day we found out the breakfast buffet has perhaps the worst hotel food in history, totally not worth it, then some of the staff- like the lady at the bar - disappears for long periods of time and is smoking outside while the guests are wondering where she is..... a sequence of bad experiences denoting a management that doenst care but does not hesitate is simply ripping off customers since they have no choice....... just stay somewhere else please

The property is conveniently located near the Denali National Park entrance. Perched on a hillside, the views are magnificent. Parking is somewhat limited, but many guests arrive by train and use the shuttle to the park. Tour busses- permitted to go the full 43 miles into the park- pick up right at the hotel. The room was comfortable and had a microwave, fridge and coffee maker.

Nothing unique. It just seemed really pricey for what we received. On check in we were informed that we would get no maid service until after we checked out. We were told if we needed anything, we should call the front desk.

Area around properties is beautiful however not super impressed with the room or the staff. Thinking that it is probably because it is at the end of the season.

We recently stayed at your hotel for two nights, booking a standard room. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing due to several issues. Our room was located directly above the service laundry room, and we could hear loud noises and feel vibrations throughout the day, continuing until after 11 PM each night. This significantly affected our comfort. It’s hard to believe that the senior staff member at the front desk wasn’t aware of this issue, unless she was a new employee. Additionally, the water pressure in the shower was very low, making it difficult to wash, especially if you have long hair. The shampoo and conditioner dispensers were also problematic—one was empty, and both were difficult to use. The parking area and the driveway leading to it were unpaved, which made transporting our luggage to the front desk quite challenging, particularly since parts of the road made it impossible to use the luggage wheels. I can only imagine how much worse this would be in the rain. On a positive note, the waiter in the restaurant was excellent—helpful, friendly, and by far the best part of our stay.

It was above average lodge. The view was incredible! No vending machines and other than the substandard Aplenglow Restaurant (spelling?), then was no snacks available after 3 p.m. when the little coffee kiosk closed. It would have been nice to have at least vending machines for drinks and snacks.

They try to get you to purchase the $22 round trip or $16 one way transportation between hotel and train station, however they have a free shuttle that goes to the visitor center and it's just a walk across the road to the train station. $32 for breakfast buffet we skipped! They did text us to see if we needed anything and she was able to answer my questions before we arrived which was quite nice and appreciated
