I was able to use the shuttle for the hotel across the street to get from and to the park... the staff was very nice... but the office closed at 8 and so in order to check in you had to be there before then. I was a little unsure about the quality of the water, due to the residue left in the "leak container" under the bathroom sink (the only running water in the cabin. It was right behind the "boardwalk" which was a great location :)
The cabin from the front.
Inside the only room other than the bathroom...
Bathroom :)
Shower :) Good water pressure ;)

We stayed in the motel suite. It was a very spacious 2 bedroom with a nicely appointed kitchen. It was very clean and looked recently updated. The area is minutes away from Denali National Park and has plenty of restaurants. Check in was simple and staff was very nice. I highly recommend Denali Rainbow Village.

We were going to arrive after the office would close so they gave us the code to the door lock so we could get in without meeting them. It’s located close enough to the park and the area has a limited selection of shopping and dining options. They offer more value than their competition if you are there just to sleep.

We arrived expecting to wash laundry after our stay in Anchorage. We were told that it was closed due to water issues. We also found out that the facility- and entire area- was shutting down by the weekend. So while we had expected to buy food for daily breakfast, the stores were almost empty of food and we had to buy breakfast out every day. An unexpected expense. At minimum travelers should be notified when reservations are made that everything will be in the process of shutting down.

Absolutely exceeded expectations, more like a luxury Airbnb! We rented a suite and were blown away by how clean and spacious it was. The living room was huge, the full kitchen looked brand new, and the bedrooms had multiple queen beds, perfect for families or groups. The entire place felt more like a luxury Airbnb, surrounded by stunning mountain views. Honestly, calling it a “motel” doesn’t do it justice at all. The name is misleading and undersells the experience. Highly recommend a name change. It deserves better!

Property was clean. Room was pretty big. Fans were good. Good blackout curtains. Television channels were not as advertised. Very few channels and the connection was bad. The mattresses and pillows were very thin.

It is expected and there are not many options. The room is spacious but need updates. The receptionist is extremely helpful and is willing to stay late to help us to check in. Thank you!

This is a good place to stay when visiting Denali. It is close to the Boardwalk and walkable to places to eat. There was a lot of space which was nice. It is dated. I wish I had double checked about our room being on the second floor. There was no elevator.
