Great staff, beautiful hotel. One great feature was that I was traveling by train and when I got on in Anchorage, they asked me what hotel in Denali and my bags were automatically sent to the hotel and direct to my room so I didn’t have to bother with my bags which was a great convenience. All of the staff were very helpful and super friendly.
