near Denali National Park--however if you have mobility issues not a good place to stay as lots of walking required to get to your room.

Nice place
Blanca, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place is fine. We arrived in mid-September, so that may have affected our experience. The rooms were fine. It's a place to stay. It is an easy walk to the few shops and restaurants and a nice hike to the park. Dining had limited options, especially for breakfast. Park tour buses stop here, which is also a plus. Pickup from the train station is available for an extra price. It was convenient to use as you get a tag for the hotel when you check into the train, and they take from there to the hotel. I would recommend it as a fine base for your Denali adventure.

There were 4 used towels left in our room when we checked in. 2 were in the bathroom and 2 behind the TV. The food at the mountaineer grill was good.
Ruby, 2-night trip

Great location. Not alot of parking spaces.
Janice, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Arriving by train and having check-in combined with the shuttle ride up to the hotel was super slick. My room was giant, had a great view, and was clean and comfy. Only downside: the shuttle into the park took forever, and I ended up walking instead most of the time. If you aren't there as part of a cruise/tour, just be prepared for most of the guests to be cruise ship people.

The property is one of the closest to the Denali entrance with an hourly shuttle to Denali you can walk to Denali, takes about an hour to reach the visitor center There is a small strip of shops near the hotel but need to walk down a steep hill to get there
