Disappointing - not a hotel

From the moment we walked into the check in area & were greeted by a young lady who spoke pigeon English and was not helpful with info related to the place to the moment we left , we felt we had made a big mistake to have chosen this place . The staff must have skipped charm school & forgot to attend customer service training too . The room was adequate in size , had plastic cheap chairs on the balcony and no amenities at all . No fridge , no freezer nor any place to store our clothes other than a few hangers . Internet :free ½ hour did not work; 7$/h for internet in a place where phone signal is not great makes it an obsolete place that cannot be called a Hotel. Most motels in the USA offer more amenities for a decent price . When we checked in, we were told that we had to go across the road , highway , to another hotel , to use the toilets or have breakfast since neither were on offer in this place that cannot be called Hotel . We paid almost $1500 for 4 nights in a place that is very disappointing. There are a few more places that offer better service and accommodation for similar prices . Book a long while ahead and avoid this place unless your goal is to feel like a mug & be ripped off . Denali park is lovely but not at this price . This is extortionate to be treated this way .

We stayed in an upstairs room in unit B. Nice little balcony overlooking the river. Quiet. Nice breeze through the room if you open the front door. Food trucks were marginal. However, we had a car and there are plenty of other dining options in the region.

Paid $140 for Wi-Fi for two phones over two days. Being stuck in the mountains with no reception, it’s frustrating to be charged so much—feels like you’re taking advantage of guests who are desperate just to get online and manage their affairs. On top of that, there’s no fridge to store anything, and the TV looks like it’s from 2001.

Disliked: Amenities
Based on the description and pictures, I expected all rooms to be overlooking the river. Incorrect. 3 large buildings were overlooking the river, but several others were not. And of course our rooms did not. What made it worse is it looked like most of the rooms that did overlook the river were vacant.
