The entire property was immaculately clean and the he food at the great variety of restaurants were all delicious! We did not have a car and did not need one because the shuttle offers free service to the national park and their sister hotel and there is also a nice shopping center right across the street.

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.

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.
