I loved this stay. Room was a bit hot because the curtains were open before we checked in and the sun was beaming into the room but once we opened the sliding glass door it cooled down a bit. The whole lodge and area/river is super cool

Would have rather had two queen beds instead of full sized. This is the perfect place to stay if you want to get away from the cruise crowd at the other side of Denali.

We enjoyed our stay at the Grizzly Bear resort so much! The room was beautiful and very clean. The bed was really comfortable. We loved having a balcony overlooking the Nenana river. We enjoyed eating at the Thai food truck on site. The resort is really close to Denali National Park. It has a nice gift shop with snacks. The staff was great. The housekeepers were very sweet. It's a great place to stay!

This is a camp site, not a hotel. A grade C camp site. If you will be paying a hotel price for a cabin, you are being fooled.

Our room was right by the river. And you could see the train pass by on the mountain across. Amazing location. They have 2 food trucks on the property and they were open until 10 pm (we visited in the last week of July). Heating, and water temperature in the shower was good. Please out more soap bars. At least 2 per day. They were very small, round and flat, and 1 is not enough for 4 people for 2 days.

Very expensive for the accommodations. Our expectations were high. Mattress sides exposed were ripped, meaning we didn’t go searching for it. Something is wrong with the sewer. The smell of sewage was lofting around our building A which is right next to the RV dumping station. We stayed at 5 different properties in Alaska. This was 5 th on our list of satisfaction.
