This property looked nice, however, when we stayed, it was in the 40s and 50s and the heat in the room barely worked and it is not well maintained. It is on the top of a mountain away from the restaurants and stores. They do have a free shuttle that runs every half an hour. It was pretty inconvenient overall to get back-and-forth to the park because of the time in between the shuttles. It is not really walking distance to the national park or the bus depot. We ate at the restaurant and the food is just ok, but with Alaska prices.

Basic resort, they definitely need to add a bit more to their hospitality. Paying almost 500 dollar per night in such a distant place would at list worth welcome drink or breakfast or complimentary coffee. We spent 5 hours to get there on my birthday and got nothing, even BD card just bare very basic room. Staff just seemed indifferent. So I can only give credit to the restaurant. Stay for a dinner there, and spend rest of your money for better accommodation and attitude in resorts where people care.

Nice clean rooms. Access to room was a downhill gravel driveway, would be nice if paved. Would be nice to have an onsite restaurant for lunch. Coffee to-go shop coffee was terrible, could use improvement. Not a great selection of snacks to go. It would be nice if they paved the while road going up to the resort

Room was mediocre and property was not as advertised. The lack of parking prevented us from driving our vehicle to go to dinner as there wouldn’t be any room to park when we returned. Road to the property was horrible and nothing in advertising has prepared us. Staff was not friendly. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone.

We stay at a different hotel, The Denali Bluffs Hotel. Check-in was very long and there was only one person checking everyone in. The food was pricey and was served cold. The rooms were clean and nice. The views were great from the patio.

Spectacular views of Denali right from our room. There were fire pits to sit at outside, the restaurant was lovely and delicious, the bus transports to the city (very mini with a few shops and restaurants) and to the train station/visitor center. Lovely overall!

Great location for access to Denali National Park. The room and bed were comfortable, and there is a restaurant and grab 'n go market were we purchased breakfast items to eat in our room. Shuttles for the Denali bus tour pick you up right at the hotel. A little pricey for what you get, but you can't beat the location - the view from the outdoor deck was beautiful, especially in September with the fall colors.

Denali in the fall

The service was amazing, met at the train station and handed our room keys-since they had already checked us in. the room was spacious and clean. On site dining at Alpenglow restaurant was delicious. We stayed on the last night of the season and it would have been easy to let service slide. Appreciated the wake up call option to view the northern lights!
