This property is situated on one of the best views of the mountains. The restaurants all have good food and the rooms are clean and spacious enough. But the views are breathtaking.

Hotel para crucero retible

No te quedes en este hotel , está en medio de la nada , no tiene gym, jacussi , las actividades q se supone que debería tener se suspendieron por lluvia , un frío terrible en el lobby , el spot es bonito , pero parece q estas en un crucero miles de personas , subiendo y bajando de camiones , colas para pedir un café , el cuarto tenía un olor feo

Not worth the money ...

The accommodations are very dated. First attempt to checkin was met with a rude 'come back at 3p' - no direction to activities or hotel amenities to pass the 1.5 hours. There is a lot of attention to flowers and grounds, but the interior of the cabins is very 'used.' The first refrigerator we received didn't work. The housekeeping staff not only did not make up our bed, but left our door open. I would have stayed in Talkeetna if I had known this ...

This is one of only a couple places to stay with large groups close to the summit of Denali (not driving distance). The views of the mountains are excellent. I recommend eating off site if possible for better value. Rooms were basic but very clean.

There were hair pins on my floor when I arrived to my room. My bathroom had hair in the sink. That is disgusting. I thought, don’t complain, see how they clean it in the morning. Came back to my room after being out for a full day at Denali and guess what? The hair pins were in the same place. Upon check out, I commented about it at the front desk, asked to speak to a manager and initially the front desk receptionist said “she’s not available, they’re in a meeting” like it didn’t even matter. Then my friends that were staying another room had a mouse in their room the last night of our stay. They called the front desk. The front desk solution…we’ll bring mouse traps. Mouse traps? How about moving to another room? How about reimbursement for the room for that night. It’s a never again And I hope to discourage others to not stay there as well. Princess Hotels should be ashamed of themselves.

The property is in a great location with proximity to Denali National Park. The amenities are good and have nice walking trails. Restaurants choices around the area are limited to none. But there are 3 restaurants on premises.
