We were very pleased with our stay. The room was comfortable and the staff was great. The only disappointment was the time it took for the shuttle to leave the train station to get to the lodge. Every other hotel shuttle was gone long before we left. Maybe due to the large number of people who needed to be checked in.

The amazing thing about this hotel is that it is 5 minutes from the entrance to Denali National Park, which is what you are paying for. Otherwise, it is a similar to a generic standard hotel, there's not much dining options except for a coffee shop with limited food in the morning and a super fancy restaurant in the evening. If you want anything in between, you need to drive or take their shuttle, it is not walkable to other parts of the town.

The room has the feel of a Holiday Inn, withoutmthe included breakfast. The room only had a desk chair, while it had plenty of room for additional furniture. The lobby, bar, and dining area were beautiful. Clearly, this was where they spent they’re money. Place would have been fine overall for $150/night, but not $500.

Nice view from the property. Have to take shuttle to all amenities. Expensive. Most staff were nice. Room was clean and large and easy to get to. Make sure to let them know if coming in by train and what time, otherwise room not ready until 4pm. Was told they would call us when room was ready and did not get a call. Check out 10am.

Staff was very friendly. Like that they provide free transportation to and from the visitor center and downtown. Rooms were clean and we were actually able to check in early since the room was ready. Didn’t have to wait until 4pm. I would recommend hotel. It was a very pleasant stay!!

We had a rough start at this property, but the manager made it right. The AC didn't work in our room and they didn't tell us that on check-in, even though they knew and had placed a fan in the room. When I put in my Expedia check-in review that I was disappointed in how they handled the situation, the manager left us a nice note the next day and offered a partial refund and breakfast vouchers to make it right. I really appreciated this. Besides this interaction, everyone on the staff at this hotel is very friendly. The restaurant is nice and the views are gorgeous as you are up on a mountainside overlooking Denali NP. The rooms are nothing special, but roomy. The fact that the rooms have small refrigerators and (should have) AC is a bonus as many properties in this area have neither in each room. Overall, we had a great stay since the manager addressed our concerns in a very professional manner!

Wonderful time!

Loved our stay! Staff was super helpful with tips on what to do in the area and super friendly. Only drag…. Was the shuttle service. Shuttles were often full. And seems each property needs its own shuttle instead of having Grande Lodge guests having to stop at the Bluffs every time.

I was told the view of the valley was beautiful, ours was of the parking lot. The king room was big enough for 2 chairs and a table but there was a lone chair. The coffee maker and refrig were nice but otherwise pretty bare boned. The staff were all very nice. I guess i just expected more Grande.

We stayed two nights here and had a great experience. The staff was super helpful and friendly and answered all of our questions. The room was really well kept and actually looked to be recently renovated. This place has VIEWS!! Also, the bus tour out of Denali will pick you up here instead of having to drive to the transportation center and park which is really convenient. We were very happy to have chosen this property. The signs on the road up the hilll are worth the drive, lol.
