The location was very close to Denali Park. A bus available to take you there tho' I did not use it. The hotel had a variety of restaurants and fun shops. Also across the road were some shops and restaurants as well. We were not on a cruise but still really enjoyed this hotel.

Disliked: Staff & service
The check in process was very quick, however the staff only handed over a map and shared nothing about wifi, dining, or the return shuttle. Staff at the restaurants for seating were bored and seemed too eager for the season to be over. Waiter at Fannie Q was fabulous, though. The coffee shop was disorganized and sadly over priced for the quality. Just a reminder to treat all guests well until the last day. As local Alaskans we only want these hotels to do well.

I was disappointed with not having a mini fridge or even a microwave. Other than that our room was fine. Laundry required an app to pay and some were out of order.

This place seemed dirty, the rooms were small, no breakfast included and there were literally bus loads of tourists lined up all over the sidewalks where you couldn’t even get into the building without shoving through hundreds of people or getting ran over by a tour bus. This place has been ridden hard and put away wet. The rooms were small, carpet and bathrooms dirty. We paid a ton of money to stay here just one night and would never do so again. Outside of the buildings were very nice and thought out, but the room itself was just gross. Too many people come through here and it’s just beat down and not well taken care of.

A solo traveler not part of a cruise I lucked out in grabbing a few nights. This is a charming property close to the park with many buildings, restaurants and shops, it’s own friendly community. My room, though not huge, was quite nice, decorated with a local flair. In the main lodge the entrance area is very large and attractive with a lot of seating as it serves as the waiting area for the billions of busses and vans that pour through from the park, outside tour companies, and those of Princess. A machine, and a tad humorous, the tours typically are announced over the speaker, all extremely organized. Princess also has shuttles to the park every 30 minutes, which were great, the friendly drivers often offering suggestions, including for restaurants. Across the quiet highway are restaurants, eateries, excursion companies, and shops. Travelling extremely far to get to Denali, if able to grab one of the quality resorts close to the park (there are only a few) it’s well worth it.
