The property was well maintained, staff was helpful. Great location with shuttle bus to park entrance and its very close to the park. Property had several convenient restaurants and gift shops.
The property was well maintained, staff was helpful, it was convenient having good restaurants on site, the shuttles were great as was pick up for the tours.
Beautiful lodge and resort very close to Denali NP entrance. Has 4 restaurants, 2 coffee shops and also other shopping on site to make it very convenient.
Large main lodge with lots of seating and ambiance decor. Our room was nice size, updated amenities with great view of Denali Park mountain range and river. Shuttles were nice going around property. Mark was a fun and talkative driver.
The staff is the best. Only complaint was that there was no hair dryer but found out they were available if missing from the front. As far as clean, there’s a lot of carpet and most of it was dirty, but what do you do in an outdoor activity environment. Overall, I’d definitely stay here again for sure. Plenty of on site dining too.
Rooms where small and bathroom fan never turned off and could hear while sleeping
Restaurant staff not to friendly
Food was over priced for what you got, some food like cruise ship buffet food
Parking was good and close
Place was clean and nice shops
The Princess Wilderness Lodge is centrally located near Denali National Park and Denali Village. Everything you could possibly need is either on property or within walking distance. There are very helpful shuttle services to and from the park and the train station. And excursion companies provide shuttle services that stop at this resort as well.
I was a bit skeptical due to reviews but our stay was more than great!! We stayed in a room with 2 beds, the room was well maintained and clean. The location is 10/10, super close the park and shuttle stops. There are onsite restaurants, gift shops, and coffee & downtown is directly across the street. I didn’t realize this lodge was mainly geared for princess cruise guests, but we still enjoyed it very much. Definitely recommend.
We loved our stay at Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge. The location is perfect for visiting Denali National Park, the grounds are beautiful, and our room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. The staff was friendly, and everything was well organized. The only downside was that our room didn’t have a refrigerator or microwave.
It’s a very good hotel to stay! Important notes, kitchen has microwave, refrigerator, dish washer but no oven. Breakfast options are good for vegetarians as well. Waffles, oatmeal, cereals, bread and patties, egg were in the menu.
Amazing stay at the Princess Lodge. The room was super clean, and the staff on-site were very helpful. We would have loved it if the restaurants were open until a bit more late (like 11 or midnight) or if there was a deli/vending machine for readymade food pickup.
Everything was above average, very nice rooms and great view of Mt. McKinley. Loved our stay. The outdoor area was amazing and plenty of pillows to make you more comfortable
Owners attention to details is phenomenal. Small things like a care package in the bathroom, bath robes, conveniences in the kitchen, pepper spray cans…you name it, so the cottage was well stocked and equipped. Owner was very responsive and helpful throughout.
