The entire property was immaculately clean and the he food at the great variety of restaurants were all delicious! We did not have a car and did not need one because the shuttle offers free service to the national park and their sister hotel and there is also a nice shopping center right across the street.

Great hotel and amenities. Friendly and helpful staff but overall hotel room is old. Needs an upgrade.

Check in took a long time, because of the huge tourist buses and groups. We went to our room and someone else's luggage had already been dropped off there, which was annoying, but an understandable concierge mixup. The place was very clean, and all of the shops on site were touristy, but not terribly expensive for what you were getting. Surprised there was no free-continental food option (or at least coffee...) for what we were paying, but it's location right next to Denali National Park was fantastic.

We loved our stay at Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge. The location is perfect for visiting Denali National Park, the grounds are beautiful, and our room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. The staff was friendly, and everything was well organized. The only downside was that our room didn’t have a refrigerator or microwave.

It’s a very good hotel to stay! Important notes, kitchen has microwave, refrigerator, dish washer but no oven. Breakfast options are good for vegetarians as well. Waffles, oatmeal, cereals, bread and patties, egg were in the menu.

Amazing stay at the Princess Lodge. The room was super clean, and the staff on-site were very helpful. We would have loved it if the restaurants were open until a bit more late (like 11 or midnight) or if there was a deli/vending machine for readymade food pickup.

Really enjoyed our stay at the Princess Wilderness Lodge in Denali. Our room was lovely and warm (important given how cold it was in early May).

Lodges are spread throughout the property so you may have to walk a bit to get to your room. If you have accessibility issues, make sure you state that in your reservation. Every staff member was pleasant and extremely helpful. Many restaurants on the property and across the street. Very convenient.

Owners attention to details is phenomenal. Small things like a care package in the bathroom, bath robes, conveniences in the kitchen, pepper spray cans…you name it, so the cottage was well stocked and equipped. Owner was very responsive and helpful throughout.

Great hotel for access to Denali National Park. Room was quite noisy from room above. Great shuttle service to train and park visitor centre.

8/10 Very good

It is a very convenient location to stay but one issue we had was the check-in was long as a bus from one of their cruises arrived just before us. I think they can automate that process better if they will not devote more people.

Front desk was not that welcoming. Parking was not explained well. Housekeeping barges in the room at 8am with one knock. Hotel was very clean and nice. Room was nice. Ask for an upstairs room. You can hear all the footsteps and ceiling noise downstairs.

The good: the staff is super friendly and helpful. The room was quiet and clean, beds were comfortable. The view of the Denali National Park was awesome. The location of the hotel is quite close to the Denali National Park. The not so good: the decor was outdated and the furnishings are showing sign of age. The entire property needs an overhaul. The food was mediocre at the two restaurants we ate at and quite expensive for what it is.

Very nice property but I do wish there was something for breakfast or dinner that didnt cost extra as there is already a premium on booking. Luckily theres plenty to get across the street or you can pay. The patio between a and b building is very nice. Staff was a mix between helpful and borderline rude at times. Rooms were very clean. Overall I would stay again but I do believe it could've been a little better for the price.
