Worst experience/false advertising
By Samantha wright, 5/27/12
We booked our trip for memorial day weekend. We had a check in time of 3 and check out time of 11 on our itinerary. They made us check out at 10 even though we had paper work stating 11. They make you leave your luggage outside at 9am if you catching a train. Just sitting out in the rain. What kind of service is that. They're staff are rude and unhelpful. The food is sub par and they charge way to much. There transit system from the hotel isn't as good as the other hotel there. When we stay again we'll book the princess their more traveler friendly. We live in Alaska so this was awful. Also there rooms are compartmentalized and the furniture is cheap and I'm pretty sure the bedding doesn't get changed, also the towels smelled spoiled. Just stay away.

Lovely, Clean Resort.
By AnnGee, 7/10/10
I was aprehensive after reading some of the reviews, but realized that they were written some of them years ago. We found our room to be very nice. We had a king size bed, and the room was very large. Bathroom was nice and clean. Staff was pleasant. I guess you can't always go by others' reactions, and then of course they could have updated the resort since then. One thing though it is very expensive, as is Alaska period.

Not worth the money.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 6/17/09
Another couple and I booked this place for two days. We were told that it was suitable for two couples. Upon arrival found that it consisted of one double bed, one single and a couch that could be made into a bed. We asked for enough towels to shower and were eventually were brought the towels and the girls made the "hide away". The next day after returning found that the maids had not made the beds, did not leave enough towels or clean the room. We found a receipt from another guest in the ice container.

Ok place to stay
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/27/08
Well, overall it wasn't a bad place to stay at, however the showers didn't seem to work properly. While your taking a shower, it was either too hot or too cold. The water temp switched quite often. Another couple had the same problem. The dining experience was great. I really recommend the Dinner theater. It was a very nice surprise. Overall, it wasn't a bad place to stay at. I would give this place a 5 star only if the shower would work correctly.

Wrong Picture
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/12/08
The pictures are of McKinley Village located South of the Denali Park entrance. The Sign Post 239 is the right address for the Chalet. The staff and management of both faclities go to great effort to make every guest feel at home. Sad to say many people don't like to be at home.

Don' stay
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/22/07
The carpet in our room was covered with stains. We had to wear our shoes the entire time in the room. Room seemed dirty! Booked a tour at the front desk for a bus ride into Denali. We paid 85.00 each for a four to five hour ride. Driver had us back in less than 3 hours and we only went into the park 17 miles. The park offers a free ride into park to 15 miles, but we didn't know until after we paid the money. I did complain about it and the company agreed to refund our money. Cabin Nite was a mess!!! The key word was "interactive" You can't even eat your food without someone rubbing your shoulders, kissing men's bald heads, singing to you. The salad was brown, the food was cold and tasted terrible.

Not Worth It
It is as if the whole resort area is owned by the big cruise lines and they promote it as being great. Nothing great there. Very expensive. Very limited dining options. Room prices are way out in the sky for a very average facility. It is an ok get away place if money is not an issue and you want to do it once. I would much rather return to Yellowstone or Glacier National Park (in Montana) 3 times more rather than visit Denali again. Just to emphasize how unimpressive Denali is. There are many other places to visit.

OK
By Shonna, 9/12/05
We had an OK time in Denali. There isn't alot to do there. Very few shops and dining choices. Room was nice, but our bathroom was dirty. Floor was dirty along with the bathtub. Downstairs room was noisy from occupants upstairs. Scenery was ok too. If we go back, it would be by RV.
