Very pretty setting and nice lodge restaurant and viewing area for Mt. Denali. Was not told there wasn't an elevator for our room and my husband is not able to carry luggage. It was very difficult to get the bags up the stairs.

Disappointed

The compound is lovely spread across the hillside. We had dinner and breakfast on location and the service was poor at best. This property is clearly a cruise ship stopover. We were a private booking. Waiting on a bus for transportation is a hassle, we learned to rent a vehicle in AK next trip. The views help make things better but service needs to improve in the large restaurant.

Setup for your buses not individuals

Room was a typical hotel room clean. The issue was the setup of the whole place it was scattered everywhere and parking was atrocious. Minimal parking half in the mud if you could find a spot. Then you had to walk a long ways to get to your building and room. Seemed to be setup for tour buses not individuals. Not recommended

Very nice resort with many things to do - hiking trails, a couple onsite restaurant choices - nightly fire pit with s’mores and cocktails. This resort is huge! And we wish we had booked more than one night here. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat! The bed is sooo comfy, best night sleep of our trip
