Solid hotel in great location
Wonderful location, very nice hotel with older style but clean rooms, beautiful lodge and property. Good restaurants onsite, great Saloon (Fanny Q's). Friendly staff, many just starting for the season. Princess and Holland America cruises stay there.

Overall good. Not much in room amenities i.e. no microwave, refrigerator, iron etc. However service was good and staff very helpful. Location is quite good with everything within walking distance. Lots of food options as well.

Good staff
Large, well maintained property. Had difficulty finding one restaurant. An employee named Terrell had just finished his shift but still walked us to the location. Nice young man.

For the price we paid… I was disappointed in the overall quality of the property and service. Limited parking and far away from room. Room was glorified motel… paint in the stairs was pealing and run down. No assistance with bags and no elevator to 2nd floor… can’t get a cup of coffee because all those on a cruise were lined up everywhere all the time.

Very disappointed stay at the Princess Denali
The room is very dated and not nice. The whole place needs a facelift and upgrade. Bathroom very old. No amenities and no closet and no view. Our building had to be the most remote and hard to carry luggage to room from the lot. Not enough parking too for guests. Ate at the grizzly bear and ordered a chicken sandwich with onion rings. They forgot our avocado and we told the waitress but there was no discount to the bill but there was an upcharge for onion rings instead of fries. Really small sandwich for $20!! Not a good value for the money. We stayed 3 nights and had no good experience with the staff or room. There wasn’t an ice machine near us and no amenities. Really disappointed stay.

Check-in was a nightmare, as the front desk could not program our key cards correctly. It took three tries - all the more frustrating because our room was a quarter mile away (this is a big lodge with numerous buildings). So we had to trek back and forth three times.
When we finally got into our room with the help of maintenance, someone else's luggage was in our room. Nobody could explain that.
Once we finally got settled, we enjoyed our stay. The lodge has three restaurants and several shops. You can walk to a few trails without taking the shuttle to Denali. But the shuttle is available out front. Rooms are pretty basic. The lodge is owned by Princess Cruise Lines so it's geared towards big groups. We arrived by train and tried to avoid the cruise people.
There is also a "village" across the highway that offers more shopping but not much in the way of dining. Basically, you have a cafe and a Subway. We ate at the lodge each day and were quite happy with the food options.
Despite the rough start, my wife and I agreed this was still an enjoyable stay and the best option in Denali for lodging. The lodge is closed during the winter months and had only been open for about a week when we arrived, which may account for the check-in debacle.
