"The room was very clean and comfortable. I never met the staff personally, but they arranged for me to get my key late past check in time and I dropped off my key at check out. The breakfast was okay, decent slection of fruits, pastries, cereal, breads, etc. There was a little mouse running around the kitchen but he wasn't bothering anyone. Overall I'd recommend this hotel."

"Room was clean and comfortable. In the small refrigerator there were two hardboiled eggs, yogurt, and granola bars. Nice not having to find a place for breakfast. There is a meeting room down the hall with extra coffee and I think there was cereal available also. Outside of that room is a nice deck area with tables and chairs. Nice quiet place to spend a couple of nights."

8/10 Good
"Great views but on a high cliff which means relying on buses and additional transportation costs in the Denali park area. It was clean but we did get a room which had an elevator next to it and lots of sound from the clothes washing room too. In terms of baggage transfer from the railroad depot to the hotel, we experienced some mishaps with our luggage too and had to complain about missing-materials / torn bags. The Lodge pointed fingers at the Alaska Railroad while the train depot claimed that usually it’s the hotel staff that transfer the luggage in a rough manner. So not entirely a pleasant experience but the views were amazing ofcourse. Can’t complain about Denali!"
