This was one of my favorite places during my Holland America cruisetour 2009. The town is very commercial (and touristy), but the activities abound in this area. We stayed at the McKinley Chalet Resort which was very nice. Rooms were on the small side, but since it is newer resort, they were upgraded and very comfortable. (Thankful they have shuttle... more

We stayed at the McKinley Chalet Resort on May 29 and May 30, 2009. I booked a "buy one get one night free" deal in January so we stayed in a 2 room unit for about $180/night. The unit was small but clean and recently repaired in a few places (door jambs and some trim not yet painted and much... more

We did a package tour with Grayline to Denali. Bus ride there & a train ride back to Anchorage. McKinley Chalet Resort was part of the package. It is pretty much par for Alaska lodging choices. Our room was clean . We had a small front room & separate bedroom. We had a room in the middle section, I think... more

Note: I did not stay at this hotel, but instead dined at one of its restaurants, the Nenana Grill. There is no outdoor dining at this smallish hotel bar/restaurant, but it is surrounded on two sides by wall-to-wall windows, so on a clear day, the view is nice (but I don’t think you can see Denali itself). The food was... more

$316.90 A NIGHT!!! I booked 5 rooms at the Chalet for the last week in August and thank God we were only there for one night. We arrived late, after dark, and found the building we were in, H building, almost completely unlit. After stumbling up the rickety old stairs to get to 2 of our rooms, the other 3... more

Stayed two different nights during a week at Denali NP. Had two different rooms, one in X building was old and run down with lumpy beds, other in O building had been recently renovated although the bed was as firm as a sheet of plywood. Even for a seasonable resort our price on $275 for standard room seemed overpriced (even... more

After doing a bit of research on hotels in Denali the Chalet seemed to be the best fit for our tastes and even booking many months out I think we got one of the last available reservations for late July. After booking it though I started to wonder if I made a mistake as I started seeing from very mixed... more

Stayed here 2 nights as part of Holland America tour/cruise. We stayed in the new "lodge". Clean moderately sized rooms, modern conveniences, modern self-serve laundry, internet acess IF you had a laptop - no terminals available for general use. Mostly tour groups occupying the cottages and lodge. The central building where all tours converge and leave was crowded and busy,... more

We stayed at the McKinley Chalet Resort as part of a Holland America Cruisetour. Holland America is big at this hotel and many if not most of the patrons are on a Holland America Tour. The motel units are older, but in very good shape. Our only complaint with the room was that the hot water was unpredictable. It would... more
