This was a great place. It was close to rhe National Park but had some amenities on site. We dis the dinner show and it was very entertaining. The rooms are a bit small but there is so much to do that being in your room hardly seems appropriate. Would stay here again.

Rooms are very small but functional. Highlight of the hotel is the proximity to Denali and river behind it. We did not eat at the property, instead went to Healy area. Thai truck across the street is good too.

Front desk staff were my least favorite staff members. The food servers were a 10 out of 10 and the true stars of DPV. There should be a late shuttle run in the evening too, past 8pm. Add Eggs Benedict to the menu and spaghetti noodles too for kids. I don’t know of a kid who likes linguine pasta, which is the only option they offer. DPV needs to invest in an onsite backup generator too. Both power and water went out during my stay; I wasn’t offered a credit on my bill for the inconvenience it caused—I had four occupants in my room! The puzzles in the lobby should be Alaska themed. And why would you stock a gift shop with products made in China! Find USA made products!!! Maybe add a cigar bar onsite.

Very nice place. Shuttle gives 6 mile ride to Denali National Park, but has shuttle service from hotel only at 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, 11:00, 2:00, 5:00. No Uber or Taxis are available. Food is somewhat limited as there isn’t much other than the lodge restaurant and burger place. Food is mediocre and somewhat expensive. Thai food truck and Chinese food truck at the Denali Bear across the street is excellent.

Needs to accept cash or let meal charges be charged to room. No air conditioning! It was very warm and provided fans not much help unless window and blinds open. Hard to sleep with no darkness and noise from outside.

The cabin we were given was very small, the electric heater could not warm the room past 60 and when we asked for another cabin we were told they were sold out and were sorry about the heater. The room was so small there was not enough space between the bed and wall to get to the bathroom comfortably.

Would not recommend staying here. Requested a room with two queen beds, cabin had only one bed. Had to give us two cabins. Cabin 12 was mediocre, cabin sloped, bed wasn't level, had to request maintenance to come out and level. Baseboard heater barely worked, room was cold. Request to change rooms was turned down stating they were full. Plus the cabins are close to the main road so noisy. Would not stay there again, period. Better off going towards Healy to some nicer places to stay.
