Great location about 20 minutes from Denali Park visitor center and only 1 mile from the 49th St. brew pub. Check-in was easy and the receptionist was friendly and helpful. We booked a suite room, which was in the one story building that had a great deck, looking out over the trees. The amenities were nice, especially the breakfast bowls in the fridge each morning. A very pleasant stay!

Convenient to Denali National Park with just enough distance for peaceful downtime. It’s set in its own beautiful landscape, just north of Antler Ridge Trail, a lovely little hike in its own right. Also, there are a couple of good restaurants and a regular grocery store in Healy, do you don’t have to navigate the clutter of tourist businesses just next to the park.

Basic room but clean and quiet. Good location. No elevator to the 2nd floor and no A/C, which is not an issue but just something to be aware of. Would recommend.

We loved the location to Denali National Park and the staff was very friendly and helpful, If you have any physical problems be sure and ask for a bottom floor room because there is no elevator and if it’s going to be warm there is no air conditioning with that said we were very happy with the hotel

Eazy on/off the highway. Clean. Breakfast for the next day was placed in the room refrigerator the day before. Always: cups of yogurt, cups of fruit, energy bars. Self-serve warm beverages in the lobby. Excellent place as a home base after a day of exploring.

We stayed one night during our Denali exploration. It was perfectly located just minutes from entrance. Staff was excellent and helpful. Room was clean with exception of toilet that had urine on it. A bit outdated, but it had everything we needed for the stay. Adds to the charm of staying in the last frontier state. Would stay again.
