When I arrived at 7:30 pm, they sent me to my housing area in Building 14. The whole building was being cleaned. My room was finished a little before 8 pm. While I waited outside my room, several large mosquitoes chose to check me out. They should have told me the room was not ready, and then I would have waited in the lobby instead.

I felt it was very misleading to say it was in Denali Park, which technically it was in Denali State Park, but most people including myself,are looking to go to Denali national Park. You are unable to go from this location unless you also spend a separate night at Denali national Park because the bus system that takes you there does not return you on the same day. (and it cost $75 each way),Also, I was very unhappy with the room. There was no microwave no refrigerator and if you can believe it in this day and age no Wi-Fi! The only Wi-Fi available was in a couple of the on-site restaurants and within the lodge, which was a fairly long walk away. The room was not well cleaned. They were empty candy wrappers on the floor and a big wad of dark hair in the bathroom tub. Not mine for sure as I have light hair the lodge is so far from anything you are basically held hostage to use their restaurants. They do have a shuttle bus they charge you for that will take you into the nearest town that is an hour away. I do not recommend this place. I was very disappointed.
