Did not stay in the main lodge, but in one of the village locations behind the lodge. It was clean, nothing fancy, but comfortable as it was used mainly for sleeping. Was out and about during the day and not in the room. Staff was pleasant and helpful when needed. No problems returning or telling others who might like to stay there.

While in the Denali area we were looking for a place to stay for the night. The place we stayed last year was a cabin but their availability was limited and expensive. We were told of this place that had a $99 special for the night, and it was well worth the last minute decision.
Nice clean large rooms. Great grounds. Very nice facilities.Good staff.

You will be greatly disappointed by your room and this hotel. Accomodations compare to a 2 star hotel. The bed and pillows are uncomfortable. Slight mildew on the shower curtain and shower floor. Walls are extremely thin, allowing you to hear conversations in the next room and people in the hall ways. Old TV. Also, this hotel caters to a large tour bus crowd, which apparently seem to run in and out of the hotel the entire day. And, DO NOT BOTHER paying more for a room with a view of the river. I attempted to change my room because of my view, and I was advised that trees obstruct the river of the river from most rooms, except for those with a queen size bed. Anyway, the window in the room is so small, even if there was a view, you would not see much of it. The hotel is managed by Aramark, a large facilities management company. The food is institutional food, and is NOTHING to remember. I am not sure of the alternatives in the area, but I would definitely not recommend this hotel to any one of my friends.

We just got back from 2 nights at the Lodge and had a great time! There were 4 of us and the room while basic was clean and comfy. Heck...we were hardly in it!! The grounds were really nicely kept. We had "dinner" in the bar with superb views of the river and area. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed the little pub that stays open late. The gift shop was great and had many Alaskan artisans featured. Very convenient to the park enterance but away from the "downtown" of Denali and all the tourist junk. And...we used a coupon from the Northern Lights Book and got 2 nights for the price of one!! Yippee!
