Cabins are very cute from the outside BUT the interiors need updating and repair. Ours had a burnt smell and it was no wonder considering the heater had something burnt on to its grate and the smoke detector was missing. They are hard to access you park at the bottom of the hill and walk up boardwalks to get up to it ... if it is raining in Alaska, this is crazy difficult and SLIPPERY! For the outrageous cost per night to stay there it is not worth it.

When considering these are cabins, and not hotel rooms, these were decent for cabins. The rooms were fine and beautiful from the outside. The linens could use an upgrade. They provide each room with a cooler that sits outside and access to a freezer with bagged ice. The van for transportation is old. The cabins are on the side of a hill/mountain so plan on lots of stairs and/or steep inclines to get to the front desk and another climb to get to your cabins. They do have a golf cart to bring your luggage up to your room.

Did not check in due to the Riley fire across the street; Denali park being evacuated; poor air quality; fear for our health; have not heard anything from resort or Expedia about refund. My evaluation will change once I have refund.

This was a pretty rough experience. The staff were very helpful but the facilities are just subpar, especially given the nightly rate. Plastic mattress liners poke you while sleeping and rustle around with the slightest movement. The bathroom was on an extremely noticeable slant. The screens in the windows were warped so we couldn’t keep the windows open at night to cool down. Dust and cobwebs were plentiful. We moved across the street for our second night.

Crow’s Nest works in a pinch as a place to stay outside Denali National Park. It is walkable to the restaurants and shops below, but some may find walking up the hill challenging. Some cabins are slanted and we came into a room with a burnt out lamp light bulb and stained pillow. Our scheduled shuttle pick-up was forgotten one day from Denali and we had to catch a ride back from other hotels. We enjoyed the views, the hot tub and sauna, the restaurant on site, and service from a few team members, especially Franklin. I wouldn’t recommend it, but it will do in a pinch.

We booked Denali Crows nest because there were not many options available during our stay that were a reasonable cost. I spent 763.28 for 2 nights, but amazingly this was the best price we could find in the area. I assure you, this was absolutely not worth the money spent. First, upon checking in the attendant did not know how to check us in and asked us to come back later when another employee would be around. This was her very first day. While I don't blame her, the management should not leave her alone if she isn't capable of running the place. Then, the Wi-Fi would not work in our room. We immediately reported it, but the girl in the office didn't know what to do, and told her supervisor. He came up and tried the same things we tried, but was unable to fix it. I appreciate him trying, but it's ridiculous to have these kinds of problems when I spent this much money on a place. The wifi worked (poorly) while in the lobby, but that's it. To top it off, there's no cable TV in the rooms, so without WiFi, there was nothing to watch. Several other guests had the same complaint while we were there. Lastly, the area is not very accessible. As far as I could tell, most if not all the cabins are only accessible by going up or down a set of stairs. The staff will assist you with a golf cart if you ask, but I wouldn't recommend this if you have any mobility issues. The restaurant on the property is nice, and the view was pretty good. The bed was comfortable.

Beautiful venue but still needs a bit of work.
This hotel is still working on upgrading the cabins and we were in an older cabin, and many of the items were in need of an upgrade or just did not work at all. There was an issue with the water on our last day. I will say the staff was very courteous and accommodating when we had issues, but I would’ve appreciated paying less if I’ve known I was gonna be more like roughing it.

Free shuttle service to/from Denali National Park railroad stop. Cozy cabin, ice chest outside for drinks with gratis ice available in reception. Tasty 49th State beer for sale. Clean sheets and towels, carpet well used. nice dark out shades, TV mounted, but didn't turn it on. Shower no tub. Lots of steps to climb, but close to other nearby food and shops. The Overlook is excellent place to dine $$. Jan was attentive server. Only a couple miles to Denali National Park via pathways. Bonus bicycles on site that a member of our party was able to ride. Responsive staff, but also a lot going on at registration when we stayed.
