No sinage directing us from train to shuttle. Our shuttle was at the far end of the parking area of many busses. There was a sign on dashboard of very large bus. It might not have been used because it was pretty windy.

Very close to the park which was a plus. It was fine place to stay but given the price I was disappointed. The room was basic. We walked to a number of other resorts which had better amenities on site (i.e. sitting room in lobby and outdoors, scenic views etc.) Overall, just okay.

Worth the price
Everything in Denali is going to be pricy. We just planned on it. We got the deluxe roo because it was updated and offered a better view. Shops and restaurants are all walking distance.

Limited parking in front of hotel. As property is on hill, may be somewhat difficult walking up and down to parking lot. Like that they have dinning option at property.

This was a convenient place to stay. Close to shopping. Your bus picked us up from the hotel and that was easy. We had lukewarm water for our showers. The bath towels were yellowed and very rough. The restaurant was good. I was disappointed that the cafe offered no non-meat options for breakfast. They said they are working on more options.

Great location
Great location for visiting Denali National Park. Rooms were very small and you could hear everything from other rooms around us. Parking was not great. There are just a few spots in the main lot and then two other overflow lots down the hill. Wasn’t bad if someone with a golf cart was available to drive you up the hill to the resort but that wasn’t typical.
