The rooms were nice and clean with comfy beds. The only downsides were the lack of fridge in the room (ice machine down hallway) and the wireless (free) was only available in the lobby. I loved the location, a beautiful view of Denali National Park from atop the bluff. We enjoyed the comfortable rooms and late dinner after a 12hr... More

Driving up the mountain to the Grande Denali at the peak of autumn colors was one of the highlights of my recent Alaska trip. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. The room could use some sprucing up, but it had all the necessary amenities and was extremely quiet. More

I thoroughly enjoyed my 4 night stay, I was apprehensive having read reviews, I suspect they are coming from cruise folks who have no feel for what to expect in Alaska. I am leaving today with m 2 sons, driving to Seward for the last leg of our 11 day trip. We stayed at the Princess Mt. Mckinley Lodge or... More

Some of the reviews pummel this hotel, but it is not that bad. "Grande" refers to views, not the rooms, but only if you get a room facing Denali Park area. Half of the rooms face drab looking parking lot. Rooms are about 3* quality with reception area and the restaurant a step above. Bathtub and counters were a bit... More

Based on previous reviews, I expected the worst. Still not great (clean but worn and the restaurant food left a lot to be desired). This was part of a Celebrity cruisetour and I think they should do better. More

Beautiful hotel, great views of area. Shuttle to "downtown" which is at bottom of hill. Downtown consists of a number of gift shops, a few small restaurants/coffee shops. Restaurant at Grand Denali is pricey, but then most everything in Alaska is expensive. More

The winding gravel road in the shuttles is a bit steep, but the view is nice at the hotel. The shuttles run quite a bit, even from the restaurants back up which was convenient. We reserved 2 queen beds and a sofa bed in the cabin from Hotels.com for 3 adults and 2 kids. When we picked up our key... More

The Grande Denali Lodge has awesome views of Denali National Park, the Nenana River and the surrounding area. The restaurant and bar were very nice and best of all they were open late. The first night we arrived we didn't get to the dining room until almost 10pm and they welcomed us with open arms. Our room was very comfortable... More

Like many others we stayed here as part of a pre-cruise land tour. Our room was as many have said quite basic but wow the views were spectacular. For me as long as the rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable then I don't have too many complaints. It was interesting that nearly all the staff were from eastern... More

Like many others we stayed at the Lodge as part of a Land Cruise Tour....so we had no choice. As we drove up towards the lodge we were all quite excited as it looked great. The lobby area nice and restaurant looked good as well. Rooms are basic - Denali is literally open 4 months a year then it closes... More
