This lodge sits on top of a mountain overlooking the surroundings of Denali. It has the grandest view in my opinion. The staff here is very warm and welcoming, from the bell staff, front desk, housekeeping and etc. Our room was spotless and the restroom was gleaming. Accommodations here are topnotch.

The Grande Denali lodge is an average hotel. The rooms are similar to a Holiday Inn Express or Best Western. For $ 500 a night you would expect much better. The beds are good/comfortable. The view is great. As you are way up on the mountain, you have no other food/meal options. So, I guess they feel they can take advantage of that. They want $31 for a breakfast buffet. There is no lunch option available. The dinner option is good. The front desk staff is indifferent. We asked them for a wakeup call if the northern lights were out. They were and they did not call. So, we missed them lights. They only have one small shuttle bus which runs on a one-hour loop. Several times the bus was full and the driver had to leave people waiting at the stop. They do not service your room during the entire stay. We had to ask for additional toilet paper, coffee and Kleenex. Even so, they had a QR code you could scan to leave the staff a tip??? All in all. They know there is not much competition and they take advantage of that fact.

Very Expensive but totally worth it. This was a trip of a lifetime and Grand Denali was an amazing place. The view from the rooms were amazing, the staff was so welcoming and help us out during our stay. We did not eat at the hotel, but the bartenders were really fun.

Everything was perfect from check in to the beautiful views and comfort of the beds. We had dinner at each of the two restaurants. They were both delicious and accommodating to my gluten free diet. Every employee we encountered was friendly and helpful. It is a great place to stay! I wish we had more time to stay here.

We arrived in the early evening and had no wait to check in. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful and honored my request to be on a lower level floor. The views are amazing. We enjoyed spending time on the deck in the evening.
