Staff made the stay easy frommeeting us up from the train depot to making sure that will get to our motor coach in time as there was a mudslide so train tracks are not passable. room is clean and beds are comfortable. breakfast at Alpenglow Restaurant is great, got a lot of choices. will definitely recommend to friends!

Denali in the fall

The service was amazing, met at the train station and handed our room keys-since they had already checked us in. the room was spacious and clean. On site dining at Alpenglow restaurant was delicious. We stayed on the last night of the season and it would have been easy to let service slide. Appreciated the wake up call option to view the northern lights!

Not close to anything so you are their captive

All accommodations near Denali are over-priced for what you get so I’ll try to not be overly harsh on Grande Denali Lodge but it’s still disappointing to pay over $330 for a very basic, Motel 6 quality room. I’m primarily writing to warn potential guests that the hotel is not close to anything (on top of a very steep hill) so be prepared to be gouged $32 for breakfast and $40-50+ for dinner. There is no Uber Eats or DoorDash in Denali and it’s almost an hour of walking (half it it steep uphill) to each anywhere except Grande Denali Lodge’s one, overpriced restaurant

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.

Older building but they've done a nice job trying to keep it updated. They get bus loads of tourists so check in could be tricky. Restaurants over priced compared to places down off the highway with less options and lower quality food so if you have a car drive two minutes away.
Christopher, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed two nights here and had a great experience. The staff was super helpful and friendly and answered all of our questions. The room was really well kept and actually looked to be recently renovated. This place has VIEWS!! Also, the bus tour out of Denali will pick you up here instead of having to drive to the transportation center and park which is really convenient. We were very happy to have chosen this property. The signs on the road up the hilll are worth the drive, lol.

Had chicken at the restaurant and it was under cooked, other than that it was great
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

I was told the view of the valley was beautiful, ours was of the parking lot. The king room was big enough for 2 chairs and a table but there was a lone chair. The coffee maker and refrig were nice but otherwise pretty bare boned. The staff were all very nice. I guess i just expected more Grande.
