Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were a bit on the small side for our family of 4, and some areas were not very clean or well-maintained. The price would have to be about half as much to match the quality of the stay. On a positive note, the location was excellent with beautiful river views and convenient access to Denali Park.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, offering great comfort, but they were quite dark due to limited lighting. The service was friendly overall, but there were some delays with transportation and limited connectivity options. The location was convenient for visiting Denali National Park but lacked easy access to dining options. The dining was decent but a bit pricey compared to other places I've stayed. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
Staying in the lower building on the 2nd floor, I found the rooms offered a choice of Thai or Mexican style, but unfortunately, they hadn't been cleaned properly – dirty towels were still in the bathroom, and the trash can was left unemptied. The overall rustic feel was a bit too much for my taste.
