Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I felt it was very misleading to say it was in Denali Park, which technically it was in Denali State Park, but most people including myself,are looking to go to Denali national Park. You are unable to go from this location unless you also spend a separate night at Denali national Park because the bus system that takes you there does not return you on the same day. (and it cost $75 each way),Also, I was very unhappy with the room. There was no microwave no refrigerator and if you can believe it in this day and age no Wi-Fi! The only Wi-Fi available was in a couple of the on-site restaurants and within the lodge, which was a fairly long walk away. The room was not well cleaned. They were empty candy wrappers on the floor and a big wad of dark hair in the bathroom tub. Not mine for sure as I have light hair the lodge is so far from anything you are basically held hostage to use their restaurants. They do have a shuttle bus they charge you for that will take you into the nearest town that is an hour away. I do not recommend this place. I was very disappointed.

Requested two beds, two friends. Got one. Was switched to another room but it was not made up. Had to walk uphill with the luggage at the second room - first room had a parking lot in front. Room was not made up the second day. Staff was unable to help.

The most expensive and least impressive part of our Alaska stay. The room was cleaned disappointingly - with hair ties on the floor, hair all over the bathroom, and old notes left on the notepad and most lamps unplugged. The other hotel amenities were mediocre at best. Want to spend $20 on breakfast that DEFINITELY came from a hot buffet, but is served to you tableside? You should check out the 20320 Grill. You will also get poorly made drinks. The one positive was the raspberry jam. Everything else just made me sad. Maybe this is normal for Princess Cruises and their hotels? Not sure, but now I'll never know. I would not recommend and would not book again.

Check in easy. Rooms were noisy. Our neighbors were up really late and it made it a bit hard to rest the 1st night. We enjoyed rrsort but it was far from the Natl Park and a long drive. We got mixed up when booking and booked wrong resort become of how Princess naned these resorts. Food good. Treehouse was awesome.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The physical property is lovely. You have an exquisite views from the lodge porch. However The hotel buildings are far from parking and the lodge. The room was just barely adequate. Furniture chipped very spartan. Few amenities. The rooms are in buildings spread out over the property with no elevators and parking that is not close to the building.The restaurant we chose was very ordinary and extremely overpriced, crowded and not very accommodating. Large groups from cruise lines stay there (500+) at a time.

Unfortunately, our one-night stay at this lodge was less than ideal. The property felt quite dated, and we immediately noticed the air conditioning was not working, which made for an uncomfortable night. Adding to the discomfort, there was a peculiar smell in the bathroom when using the shower. To top it off, the beds were not very comfortable, making it difficult to get a good night's rest. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.

There should be times posted for restaurant hours and reservation options. Food at lunch restaurant was not very good. Fish and Chips were from a freezer and were way too pricey for what you were getting. Rooms were adequate but could have used a fridge and microwave,
