Most comfortable bed/linens! Hiking trails nearby that do not require accessing the Park. Bathroom/tub room and sink areas small by most hotel standards. Good onsite dinner restaurant. Separate breakfast area had meager offerings.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Was pleasantly surprised by the modern rooms and extremely clean as well. Breakfast choices were limited and all were premade. Had a great restaurant and bar with music and Mountain View for dinner. Ate at Princess Hotel across the street several times for breakfast buffet, lunch, and dinner. Shuttle was very convenient to Denali Visitor Center and to the “downtown” area of gift shops and a few small restaurants.
