Denali Park Village

Book reservation and paid for them for September 2025 and I found out they cancelled them via a credit card refund. When I called to get explanation I was told they just decided not to open the rooms and they had no availability for the dates require which were the determining factor for tours and transportation. The representative stated they were supposed to call and leave a message and YES they had the correct phone number and email. Their over all rating should be -1 and not a 3

We loved this cute place. Our room was nice, clean and quiet. We had a nice view. They have an outside area to sit and relax by the water. Only issue was that we didn’t have a car and couldn’t get to other restaurants. They wouldn’t help out with transportation and an Uber was too expensive and would’ve taken a long time to get there. They have one restaurant and it was expensive (ie $26 for a hamburger). One good option are food trucks across the street. Not bad and they had other options other than Thai food.

We were enroute to another excursion, and needed a place for one night. It was expensive, but the room was fine and the grounds are pretty. The staff was friendly and helpful. As others have noted, the restaurant was a little expensive, but the food was excellent and our waiter was great.||We were really pleased when Alaska RailRoad was able to check our bags through from Fairbanks right to the hotel; the hotel shuttle driver met us at the train, collected our baggage, and it was waiting for us at the hotel.

Great location but this is a bare minimum amenities motel. Rooms are tidy although old and dark. Our room had an underlying odor to it. Bottom floor room is noisy, plan on not sleeping if you get one of these rooms. You can hear the people above walking and talking. No fridge, no microwave. There is nowhere to buy snacks or drinks. Breakfast buffet is cheaper for kids and teens. Wait staff and house cleaning crew are mostly young adults who are helpful and friendly. Managers are disgruntled. We stayed for 3 nights which was too long here. It’s a one and done place.

Please don’t trust these poor reviews. I read them before arriving at this resort and I was so upset. However, this was our favorite hotel of all of the Princess Land Tour hotels. Everything was very clean, the food was delicious. There was a gorgeous patio overlooking the river with firepits and heat lamps. Best of all, there was a trailhead right next to the property that you could walk to (but there’s also a shuttle). We hiked that trail around 3 lakes. We saw moose at the lake. It was all perfect.

One of the best stays in the Denali area. Next to the river, in the midst of nature. And if you come early in the season you can spot Moose 🫎 as well. Rooms were a little compact but good enough for 4 with 2 double beds. The view from the room was just awesome. I got next to the river room and the sound of water healed every part of your body. Have all the buses coming for tour pickup and drop, you can river rafting as well. It has a restaurant within its premises, so no need to go anywhere. Just sit and relax.

Friendly staff. The room was clean. Beds comfortable. Bathroom small with very little counter space. Thought our tour advisor reserved. Creekside room but we were given a room on the parking lot side. Very noisy. BE AWARE building 700 has no micro fridge and no ice maker, had to go to building 800 for ice and to do laundry. | Building 800 was like entering an entirely different resort. Several seating areas that looked out large windows. Spacious hallways, one person staying there said her room had a microwave fridge. BEWARE food is expensive even for Alaska prices. 20 for continental and-30 for buffet breakfast. Much higher for dinner. There were restaurants within 7 miles that were much more reasonable but no shuttle service offered. Only shuttle is to train station where the park visitor center is also located. Would not stay here again.

As a place to stay, it's adequate. Nothing fancy, but serviceable for access to the wonders of Denali National Park. It's expensive because of location, not because it's fancy. Connection to tours and activities was great. All guides and service people were genuinely nice, helpful and pleasant. Unfortunately, the front desk staff was not. Uniformly, anyone I spoke with over the 48 hours we were here were surly, grumpy and supremely unhelpful. To a question about luggage and train depot transfer, I got "I have no idea, ask him." And the Him at the concierge desk said "ask her" and pointed back to the clueless woman behind the front desk. I don't mind if you don't have an answer, but be polite and look for an answer, for heaven's sake! Only other knock is that everything shuts down at 10 pm, no food options when you come in late from a tour, which is easy since it stays light till 11:30 pm. Wish that the bar in the lodge stayed open a little later with at least bar food. Food we did have at lodge restaurant was tasty, btw.
