The resort is a very nice, rustic woodsy resort. Rooms are clean and comfortable. I would stay there again.

Nice quiet place with a great view. We had a river view room and even spotted some wildlife. Rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff was super friendly.

I love this place!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Grizzly Bear Resort. I loved the room and the river view. Also, the food trucks on the property were very good. The resort is close to trails in Denali National Park.

One day in Denali stay

Excelkent stay. Close to Denali and a beautiful view of the Nenana River from my back patio. The office receptionist were awesome. Would definitely come back!

Great room. No elevator or baggage waiter, so you have to tote your bags up the stairs if you happen to be on the second floor. Train whistle was a little loud as it came thru during the night. Other than that, overall stay was good for a last minute booking.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

The Grizzly was a great stay, quiet, on the Nenana River and food and store on site.

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 .

Beautiful river view

Really enjoyed the location and the room was clean and nice. We were close to Denali and there was a bigger resort to check out and eat at across the street as well as a small town just miles away.
