We arrived expecting to wash laundry after our stay in Anchorage. We were told that it was closed due to water issues. We also found out that the facility- and entire area- was shutting down by the weekend. So while we had expected to buy food for daily breakfast, the stores were almost empty of food and we had to buy breakfast out every day. An unexpected expense. At minimum travelers should be notified when reservations are made that everything will be in the process of shutting down.

I was able to use the shuttle for the hotel across the street to get from and to the park... the staff was very nice... but the office closed at 8 and so in order to check in you had to be there before then. I was a little unsure about the quality of the water, due to the residue left in the "leak container" under the bathroom sink (the only running water in the cabin. It was right behind the "boardwalk" which was a great location :)
The cabin from the front.
Inside the only room other than the bathroom...

Denali Rainbow is pretty good. Like most places they don't come in and clean everyday. We stayed there 4 nights in the middle of our stay they entered while we were gone and dropped off coffee cups and some towels. We in turn went down and requested additional coffee pods and sweetner. No one emptied the trash, we did it. It was convenient also to be near some shopping and eating, and was heated and fairly quiet.

It's across (walking distance from the bus stop) the Denali Princess Lodge, which makes going around Denali via shuttle. There are stores next door so shopping is very convenient. The Lodge isnt pet friendly. You're not allowed to cook fish or anything smelly in the cabins. The hot water runs out so you need to finish your shower in 10mins or less. We loved the ambiance because you can see the mountain. But we weren't able to sleep well because the heater was way up (the cabin became too warm). Overall, it was still a great accommodation. The staff is very friendly and professional. The area is quiet sans being along the highway.

Not bad

We stayed in a cabin. It was big, clean and quiet. It had fairly hot water. There was a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The only thing that I was not happy with was the bed. It was very uncomfortable for me.

It’s very affordable for the area . Was not so sure from the pics but high rating didn’t disappoint. The hallway give you a dormitory feeling but the room is specious , clean and modern look also equip with coffee maker , fridge and microwave is a big plus . Vey convenient shops and restaurants nearby . Black bear coffee is awesome , by the way . Staffs were so nice and helpful . Complimentary pick up and drop off at the train depot is very helpful. Also , very convenient to hop in any tour or go to the park by utilizing free shuttle across the street at either Holland American or Princess hotel.

The place is close to Denali park and one of the pickup spots for Tundra Wilderness Tour. There are several eateries and shops on the premises. The motel has all the basics and not more. Don’t book the cabins, as they don’t have free wifi.
