Nothing was notes at time of reservation that this hotel is multiple buildings that are not handicap accessible. When questioned at check in they did help us get to room. When I called to get the help at check out the girl was rude and refused. Only after calling back to talk to manager were we helped.

Gorgeous surrounding scenery!

Wonderful stay! It appears to be eco friendly but the recycle bins are deposited in the land fill bins by staff. An important step.

Cruise crowds

This is a princess cruise hotel. Lots of tour travelers arriving and leave at the same time. Large groups reserve dinner but if there’s only 2 of you, you get in right away. The groups are managed well. Good shuttle to the park.

Huge motel. The lobby is like a train station. The maintenance of the rooms is not good. We got stuck with a broken lock in the room and had to go to the lobby three times until they changed the lock.

I wish I had looked up this place sooner in my itinerary! I was not aware that the cruise line also had a hotel line and this place was by far one of the best stays in AK. Not only is it a convenient location with amazing convenience to get to the parks, but it is also a village in itself with lots of shopping and dining options. Although we did have an issue at one of their restaurants with their waiter, overall the stay was great. The rooms are clean and the staff was helpful with planning a day at Denali and transportation. They offer shuttles to and from the park and they even picked up our luggage at the train depot so we could head directly to the park. The luggage was delivered to our room so we didn't have to worry about it at all and everything was very professional (except for the waiter). All in all, I would recommend this stay but figured it was best for a weekend stay than one night. The location is also surrounded by other lodges and walkable distance to other shopping and dining areas across the street. During cruise check in and check out times, the lobby can get a bit crazy but somehow they still manage to organize the crowd accordingly so those taking a tour can also find their correct bus. I would stay here again. Definitely left a positive impression.
