Front desk staff were my least favorite staff members. The food servers were a 10 out of 10 and the true stars of DPV. There should be a late shuttle run in the evening too, past 8pm. Add Eggs Benedict to the menu and spaghetti noodles too for kids. I don’t know of a kid who likes linguine pasta, which is the only option they offer. DPV needs to invest in an onsite backup generator too. Both power and water went out during my stay; I wasn’t offered a credit on my bill for the inconvenience it caused—I had four occupants in my room! The puzzles in the lobby should be Alaska themed. And why would you stock a gift shop with products made in China! Find USA made products!!! Maybe add a cigar bar onsite.

Very nice place. Shuttle gives 6 mile ride to Denali National Park, but has shuttle service from hotel only at 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, 11:00, 2:00, 5:00. No Uber or Taxis are available. Food is somewhat limited as there isn’t much other than the lodge restaurant and burger place. Food is mediocre and somewhat expensive. Thai food truck and Chinese food truck at the Denali Bear across the street is excellent.

Needs to accept cash or let meal charges be charged to room. No air conditioning! It was very warm and provided fans not much help unless window and blinds open. Hard to sleep with no darkness and noise from outside.

The cabin we were given was very small, the electric heater could not warm the room past 60 and when we asked for another cabin we were told they were sold out and were sorry about the heater. The room was so small there was not enough space between the bed and wall to get to the bathroom comfortably.

Would not recommend staying here. Requested a room with two queen beds, cabin had only one bed. Had to give us two cabins. Cabin 12 was mediocre, cabin sloped, bed wasn't level, had to request maintenance to come out and level. Baseboard heater barely worked, room was cold. Request to change rooms was turned down stating they were full. Plus the cabins are close to the main road so noisy. Would not stay there again, period. Better off going towards Healy to some nicer places to stay.

The hotel has just opened for the season. Staff is less experienced and goofed up with our checkin money transaction and also our transfer to railway station. The shuttle left us and went with our luggage. All though they sent a special van to drop us. House keeping is not available on day to day basis. Though the hotel is good. Very nicely made and located but they need improvement in some areas. Also we are vegetarian and it would be good if they have some more vegetarian options.

We had to take our luggage up a flight of stairs. My 78 year old mother cannot do that so there was a worker there that assisted. This is mostly tailored to tour companies. It was one of the last nights of the season so food was near the end.

The facility sits on a gorgeous piece of property with a river running behind it, a walking path, and an education center that can be used by young and old to study the surrounding area. Our room was old, blinds were tattered, it was however clean.

Mediocre Stay

It’s an old place, heating wasn’t working, and the fan in the bathroom was obnoxious. Some of the power outlets didn’t work, and when we told them about the issues, they asked us to wait a couple of hours.

Loved being on the river! Front desk said we were on 1st floor but our room was actually on 2nd floor. We didn’t have any hot water at 8:30 in the morning to shower. Nice lobby area but restaurant/bar was only open till 9:00. We ended up having to go elsewhere to eat a late dinner. Overall it was a good place and would stay there again

Good location, lacking in character

Decent lodge with all the facilities required but was a little dark and also a lot of road noise from a nearby bridge as well as noise from the railway. The restaurant was decent food but because of the large groups and open plan style did not feel particularly cosy / intimate as a restaurant.
