No wifi in rooms was very disappointing. Also, it's unfortunate that there are not enough customer service reps for the number of people and those who are there are poorly trained. I was told I had to wait over 20 minutes to talk to one specific rep just to check out, when really all I needed to do is use the key drop.

No refridgerator, no elevator for upper levels so a lot of difficulty for older people or people with disability with their luggage. Some staff were great while others looked like they didn’t want to be there. Some of the younger staff seemed more intent on fraternising with each other than paying attention to customers in the main building dining areas. Bar staff were great, reception and courtesy drivers very helpful

Beautiful property
The property was beautiful even in the heavy summer Alaska rains. Would love to come back sometime to get to take advantage of the Denali views. Overall the rooms were comfortable, but dated, food was okay and the service could have been more customer focused, but the property was amazing and there was a lot to do despite the remoteness. We would stay here again.

I stayed here with my baby while the rest of our family camped down the road. (I ain’t gonna rough it with a kiddo in diapers, running water is a must!) So I didn’t get to spend much time here because we spent most of our time over at the campsite but I definitely would love to plan a family trip at this lodge. The facility was beautiful and there were lots of activities. It would be fun to go here again with the whole family.

At check in the girl who was supposed to welcome us was rude. I offered my reservation code, her response was "I don't need that!". She then ask for I.D. from me, which I provided. She then turned away, turned back confused looking and ask my name, had to repeat twice. So, she found my packet, drop it on counter. My last name was misspelled, brought that to her attention, answer ' it doesn't matter'? I corrected for her ink ink. Absolutely snobbish brat child! The property was wonderful and everyone else encountered was amazing. This girl should not be the welcome person you first interact with?
