This property was nice, but nothing that stood out. The view from the lodge lobby and dining room was great. The rooms need more sound proof insulation.

This is a nice lodge with beautiful views. Very expensive. The restaurant accepts payment by credit card, not to the room. Roa is partly unpaved.

The bathroom floor was unclean (feet stuck to floor), end of season so no daily room service, yet room rate was still high $400 one night and $300 second night yet no good view). Breakfast in dining room was ridiculously expensive but the cafe for coffee and muffin was good. Appreciative of shuttle to and from train station. No lunch options but take out sandwiches.

We had a beautiful view of Denali National Park from our room. The room was exceptional, lots of space, and very up to date! The parking was not that good with minimal parking spaces on the main level of the lodge (it was mainly a drop off area for a bus or shuttle). There was overflow parking lots down the hill so people had to hike up the dirt road to get to the lodge.

The room was clean and comfortable as was the rest of the property. The shuttle was very helpful to get to the park and the town. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food choices are very limited and expensive, so plan accordingly. The property sits high on a bluff so the views were great, but made walking from the lodge to any where impossible. I found the walls to be very thin. Starting early in the morning, people were clomping around in their hiking boots leaving for various tours. Kind of comes with the territory.

Loved the view. However, for the nightly rate I paid I expected a bit more plush room. Elevators would be nice. Entry area to the Kodiak building is an accident waiting to happen.

Wonderful time!

Loved our stay! Staff was super helpful with tips on what to do in the area and super friendly. Only drag…. Was the shuttle service. Shuttles were often full. And seems each property needs its own shuttle instead of having Grande Lodge guests having to stop at the Bluffs every time.

Nice view from the property. Have to take shuttle to all amenities. Expensive. Most staff were nice. Room was clean and large and easy to get to. Make sure to let them know if coming in by train and what time, otherwise room not ready until 4pm. Was told they would call us when room was ready and did not get a call. Check out 10am.

Basic room updated quiet and clean, staff were very friendly and helpful. This hotel did not provide daily housekeeping. Nice views. Hotel sits on a bluff above the town, a car was helpful but transportation is available. Coffee bar in the lobby had snacks and pleasant staff. For dinner I would not recommend the onsite restaurant, food quality doesn’t match prices.
