For the price of the property I was expecting something better. Everything was clean, but needs updates. No fridges were offered or available. Blow dryers in bathrooms did not work and the room had an awful smell. Room cleaning services were not available everyday of our stay. I emptied out our garbage and asked for clean linens when needed. Parking also was terrible. There was two food trucks on the property but nothing else besides and overpriced store. I wished we would have stayed somewhere else, especially for the price point.

Disappointing - not a hotel

From the moment we walked into the check in area & were greeted by a young lady who spoke pigeon English and was not helpful with info related to the place to the moment we left , we felt we had made a big mistake to have chosen this place . The staff must have skipped charm school & forgot to attend customer service training too . The room was adequate in size , had plastic cheap chairs on the balcony and no amenities at all . No fridge , no freezer nor any place to store our clothes other than a few hangers . Internet :free ½ hour did not work; 7$/h for internet in a place where phone signal is not great makes it an obsolete place that cannot be called a Hotel. Most motels in the USA offer more amenities for a decent price . When we checked in, we were told that we had to go across the road , highway , to another hotel , to use the toilets or have breakfast since neither were on offer in this place that cannot be called Hotel . We paid almost $1500 for 4 nights in a place that is very disappointing. There are a few more places that offer better service and accommodation for similar prices . Book a long while ahead and avoid this place unless your goal is to feel like a mug & be ripped off . Denali park is lovely but not at this price . This is extortionate to be treated this way .

The accomodation was good. Very close to the park. The big negative was that there was only 30 minutes of free wifi.
