Loved the shuttle service. We stayed in a room that was farther away from the main lodge so having this option to get a ride was great!

Person checking us in wasn't friendly . Here are your keys and a map to the property then back to visiting with coworker aignage to groups of buildings was poor and we drove around ,3 times before finding the access to our building only to find there was no elevator to the 2nd floor and nowhere to park. We didn't even walk up the stairs to see the room. Called and talked to a very nice person who was able to switch us to a first floor by the time we drove back to the main lodge. Very accommodating and showed us which turns to take to get to our next building, which also had a parking area for that building. Very nice room, but the smoke alarm above the bed was hanging by wires from the ceiling and the shower wouldn't stay on showerhead, which wasted a lot of water. The grounds were quiet and well maintained.

Nice, but needs more parking!

Great resort-like setting with many activities and 3 restaurants, but this facility caters to Princess Cruise Ships with guests arriving in buses. The parking is very inadequate for travelers who are driving their own cars.

The viewing deck!! Each time you step outside the view of the mountain range is different and dramatic. On chilly mornings that lobby fireplace is awesome! The rooms are dated but very charming

Good value and lovely scenery. Several choices for food and beverage. Gift shop was moderately priced with a varied selection of gifts and clothing. Staff were friendly and helpful. Patio and deck views of the mountains were beautiful.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Cleanliness
While the surrounding scenery and the exterior of the property were well-maintained and beautiful, our overall experience left much to be desired. The lodge we stayed in is situated on a small hill, requiring guests to park on the road and carry their luggage uphill to reach the accommodations; something we found quite inconvenient. Inside, the lodge felt outdated. We even found cobwebs in the restroom, which raised concerns about the standard of cleanliness. It’s important to note that this lodge operates under the “Princess” brand, as it mainly serves Princess Cruise guests. This means large groups frequently arrive via shuttle buses, which may affect the overall atmosphere and service priorities. We arrived slightly early and asked if early check-in was possible, even by just 30 minutes. Unfortunately, we were told it was not allowed due to a system restriction. This was surprising, as most places try to accommodate guests when possible. Overall, while the setting was picturesque, the lack of convenience, cleanliness issues, and inflexible service helped clarify why this lodge isn’t rated higher than a 4, despite how stunning it may appear in photos.

I got hollered at for parking in front of check in. The room was either up a steep grassy slope or accessible through a path signed for company vehicles only. No ac or refrigerator. The staff was unfriendly and there was no explanation of requirements or adequate signage.

Princess Lodge with view of Denali

We had a lovely, clean double queen room. Building was clean but appeared to be getting some renovations. We enjoyed meals in both dining lodges, the campfires in the evening, a guided nature walk, a Denali climber presentation and hiking to the treehouse. This lodge has one of Alaska’s best views of Mount Denali.
