Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
I loved the big clean rooms and comfortable beds especially after 2 days of backcountry hiking in Denali National Park, Each unit is divided into quiet mini compounds giving you a serene view of the Nanana River and Forested grounds.
Would highly recommend-we stayed one other place in Denali and the Holland America Lodge has all of the creature comforts and transportation everywhere you want to go.
Great location near Denali National Park! We had a great room down near the river which had beautiful views. Lots of dining options on site and options across the street as well. Would book it again if going to Denali.
We liked the buses that helped us get around the property. We liked the variety of restaurants and shops. We also liked the activities, games, music, and s’mores offered on the property. It was a beautiful location on the river and very close to Denali National Park.
