After spending countless hours reading all the horrible reviews of the hotels in the denali area - I decided to book 2 nights at the mckinley village lodge as the "least of all the evils" Granted I got the september off-season special rate but I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and comfort of the place. I found staff to... more

The rooms in this hotel are quite small, but have all of the facilities you need. Rooms are located in blocks which have 2 floors. The hotel itself is located out of town but there is a courtesy bus which connects to the town and the railroad station. The hotel is in a picturesque location on the banks of the... more

Disappointing experience for a number of reasons. First of all, it's hard to find. I spent like 30 minutes going back and forth to find the entrance and finally just had to call them. The front desk clerk was essentially a kid on break from college and she several times did not give us the room we had reserved and... more

The room is comfortable and large with nice bathrooms. However, we waited for 20 minutes to get seated in an empty restaurant, waited another 20 minutes to get a drink. Dinner took a normal amount of time but, the rib eye steaks were awful and the chicken was burned. The lettuce in the salads was gritty. Never could get another... more

Although the room was clean and sufficient, the view of the muddy parking lot was awful as was the resturaunt on site..the wait was long, the prices high, and the food was terrible, burned and cold. The shuttle was unpredictable, but free. more

We stayed at the McKinley Village Lodge for two nights. Our only problem was FINDING this property. There is no sign on the main highway. It is located directly behind the Denali River Cabins. This property has just opened a much larger lodge with a new dining room, coffee shop and bar. They have wireless internet available in the lobby... more

This hotel/lodge is somewhat of a paradox. First, the rooms. Our room was in a new building and was very nice. Lots of room with a nice balcony. I have heard others say they had a great view of the parking lot which is what we had. However, our friends had a room across the hall and they had a... more

The McKinley Village Lodge is eight miles from the entrance to Denali National Park and Glitter Gulch where the rest of the lodging, restaurants, and shopping is for Denali. The Lodge does have it's own shuttle in case you don't have a car. Although the shuttle runs every 1/2, the problem is that with 12 tour buses there at a... more

The McKinley Village was nice for the simple fact of being out away from the park entrance. At the entrance "Glitter Gulch" it is a little too commercialized for me. As far as the distance from the park to the hotel, I thought it was of no concern. The shuttles run regularly and are on time within 5-10 minutes. The... more

An itenary planner booked us in here for our vacation. I guess when they say location is everything is true. This was one of our more expensive accomodations but far from the best. First off the entrance sign is poorly marked. The rooms overlook a busy unpaved parking lot where large buses were parked. The rooms did not have air... more
