We stayed here for two nights in August 2023. We very much enjoyed our stay. We were on the ground floor and did not hear the guest above us. We had a beautiful view of the mountains. The room was large and comfortable with a microwave, coffee maker and refrigerator, private balcony. We had dinner both night in the Mountaineer Restaurant and enjoyed both meals. We thought the dinner meals were moderately priced. We did not have breakfast at the Mountaineer as it did seem a little pricey. In all it was a great experience, and I would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

I am so happy that I chose this hotel. I had read reviews and knew that I didn't want to be on the ground floor because you hear people walking above you. So I got a second floor room and walked without shoes to be considerate of those under me. My room was 24 in building 24. It has a great view. The staff are pleasant and helpful. They operate a shuttle into the park which runs only once per hour. It also stops in the little town but the town is close enough to walk to. I found that a big benefit. I picked up supplies and made some meals in my room. There's a refrigerator and coffee maker. The restaurant of the hotel has a limited menu that didn't appeal to me. But I'm sure it did to others. The front desk staff offer to put people on a list for wake up calls when the aurora is visible but the list is very long. They gave me excellent advice and told me when to set my own alarm and where to go outside to look. It worked. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful regarding things to do in the park. My bag was delivered to my room after my arrival by train and brought down from my room and transported to the train for me when I was leaving. The grounds are pretty with many separate building of maybe a dozen rooms in each. Unlike other hotels that use overpowering floral sprays, this room smelled lightly of cedar.

Great place to stay and very close to Denali park entrance. The room was kind of small to fit 3 people sith only one bathroom to share. But we managed. The parking was free and restaurant food choices were plenty. We had a wonderful stay. Breakfast was not provided free.

So I felt like I was staying in a local motel. A coffee maker but no cups. The room was nice looking. The beds were okay. The balcony could have had a nice view but they have allowed small trees to grow right in front of the balcony. And they completely block the view. They don't offer anything for free not even coffee well they might offer it in the room but you need cups and water to fill it. They could put a couple bottles of water in the room seeing as they have no vending machines on site. They have a place in the lobby that has 4 dollar coffee. And 3 dollar bottles of water. But they close early. The breakfast was lack luster and expensive for you what you get. One guy running around trying to help everyone while also dealing with the food etc. Dinner was good but expensive. Maybe put some water and soda in the fridge in the room and charge for what we take. This was a 2 star experience at a 4.5 cost for one night. No pictures to share because I was so upset with the place.

Stayed two nights in a second floor room with an awesome view. Room was spacious and well furnished. Heater in bathroom was appreciated. You do have to walk outside to get to rooms, and the paths can get steep. Requested a cart for transport up the hill and it arrived as promised. Pick up and delivery of luggage to and from the train station was a real plus. Bags were delivered to rooms directly from the train and taken from rooms back to train. This was our third time visiting Denali, if we make it back a fourth time, we will look to stay here.
