You can’t beat this location! Views views views! It’s also 8 minutes from the Denali National Park entrance, as well as a couple minutes to downtown for shopping and dining. We also appreciated being able to dine on-site at their restaurant (more great views). Rooms themselves were modern and clean. Good water pressure. Watch for the funny road signs on the drive up to the hotel!

This property was nice, but nothing that stood out. The view from the lodge lobby and dining room was great. The rooms need more sound proof insulation.

Staff was very friendly. Like that they provide free transportation to and from the visitor center and downtown. Rooms were clean and we were actually able to check in early since the room was ready. Didn’t have to wait until 4pm. I would recommend hotel. It was a very pleasant stay!!

We had a beautiful view of Denali National Park from our room. The room was exceptional, lots of space, and very up to date! The parking was not that good with minimal parking spaces on the main level of the lodge (it was mainly a drop off area for a bus or shuttle). There was overflow parking lots down the hill so people had to hike up the dirt road to get to the lodge.

The room has the feel of a Holiday Inn, withoutmthe included breakfast. The room only had a desk chair, while it had plenty of room for additional furniture. The lobby, bar, and dining area were beautiful. Clearly, this was where they spent they’re money. Place would have been fine overall for $150/night, but not $500.

Loved the view. However, for the nightly rate I paid I expected a bit more plush room. Elevators would be nice. Entry area to the Kodiak building is an accident waiting to happen.

Nice view from the property. Have to take shuttle to all amenities. Expensive. Most staff were nice. Room was clean and large and easy to get to. Make sure to let them know if coming in by train and what time, otherwise room not ready until 4pm. Was told they would call us when room was ready and did not get a call. Check out 10am.

We stayed two nights here and had a great experience. The staff was super helpful and friendly and answered all of our questions. The room was really well kept and actually looked to be recently renovated. This place has VIEWS!! Also, the bus tour out of Denali will pick you up here instead of having to drive to the transportation center and park which is really convenient. We were very happy to have chosen this property. The signs on the road up the hilll are worth the drive, lol.

Basic room updated quiet and clean, staff were very friendly and helpful. This hotel did not provide daily housekeeping. Nice views. Hotel sits on a bluff above the town, a car was helpful but transportation is available. Coffee bar in the lobby had snacks and pleasant staff. For dinner I would not recommend the onsite restaurant, food quality doesn’t match prices.

Older building but they've done a nice job trying to keep it updated. They get bus loads of tourists so check in could be tricky. Restaurants over priced compared to places down off the highway with less options and lower quality food so if you have a car drive two minutes away.
