    This place is not worth the money by a huge margin.

    This place is not worth the money by a huge margin. It’s pretty bad. No Wi-Fi working, no heating that worked, no phone system that worked, soft beds, no bed side table, no bed side reading lamps, shoddy bathroom. I would not recommend it and will definitely not come back.

    This is really the only area to stay in at Denali.

    This is really the only area to stay in at Denali. The only other area is Healy, which is 10 miles up the road & where the locals live. Don’t know the hotel situation there; but there is a major grocery store in Healy. In McKinley Park, there are several hotels, all serviced by hotel shuttles to/from the train & into the park. These are very handy! Check their schedules though, as several DON’T pick up between 3:15-5pm from the park-they are dealing with train passengers! The “town” is very touristy; however, there are some beautiful shops there. Any activities such as rafting, ATVs, bikes have their offices here. It’s a fun spot to browse. The grocery stores are mostly grab & go and liquor. Just think through food a bit, unless you’re on a tour or staying at the Princess or Holland America hotels. Those complexes have much more. All in a a lot of fun to be had at Denali! Incredible hiking!

    Absolutely beautiful! Nice property, but be willing to walk.

    Absolutely beautiful! Nice property, but be willing to walk. Each building is spread out across the property. They do have a shuttle if you want to wait. Staff is amazingly helpful and very friendly. Food is mediocre. Front desk staff is very helpful with planning activities.

    The park is actually called Denali Park and it is absolutely stunning. The views, wildlife and plants are totally worth it. If staying at a hotel, 3 days and 2 nights with the family was a good amount of time.

    Expansive resort with frequent shuttles.

    Expansive resort with frequent shuttles. Depending on your location in the resort, very spotty wifi, which could be a concern if wifi is a priority for you. Couldn't connect in room but really not an issue for us. Great steakhouse restaurant off the main lobby. Convenient location for excursion pick up and quick shuttle ride to train station.

    The bus tour was great.

    The bus tour was great. The driver stopped multiple times to get pictures of wildlife. She gave us a lot of information about the park and the wildlife that was there We enjoyed so much we plan to take a family vacation and do it again

    the room was very cozy and the balcony faced the woods and a river, it was great sitting there, with some drinks, take away food and chat until late. The hotel has no restaurant, no bar. A Thai food truck is in the parking lot though and has excellent food. about 5-8 min walk is another hotel where one can go for breakfast , drinks, dinner and with complementary bus service to the park. Very convenient

    Good location near the entrance of Denali National Park. The room was comfortable. The restaurant was a few minutes walk from the room. The restaurant was nice with good choices but it was difficult to get a table some nights. Only one restaurant is currently open. There are also places to eat across the road. There's a nice walking path along the river.

    The location is excellent, near a creek and very close to Denali National Park. Host Tammy is very friendly, she offered to help when seeing my wife's skin burn, including giving her Aloe vera and cream. She also gave us extra time to check out since we arrived late and were pretty tired.

    The room was nice. We had a nice view of the river and mountains. The country store is convenient. We took the Denali Back country tour and they picked us right up at the hotel. We saw lots of animals and it was a great trip.

    Room was decorated in a mountain feel style. Some views of the hills through the trees. Convenient as both the Wilderness tour and Park to Park bus picked us up from the hotel.

    Location was spectacular! The train ride from Wasilla to Grand Denali Park on the Alaska railroad was beautiful. Make sure you upgrade to the dome car which includes meals.

    It was a nice hotel and I really enjoyed sitting on the back deck by the water. There were fire pits out there to keep you warm.
