As many reviewers before me have written, GRAND does not describe this hotel. After a long day at the beautiful Denali National Park, most of the day on the bus, we arrived at the hotel and were ready for a hot meal and a walk. The dining room did not offer much of a selection and everything was overpriced. The... More

Average hotel rooms but spectacular location and views from lobby/bar/restaurant. Good choice for stay. You can find good 2 nites for price of 1 coupons in last 2 years--well worth it!! Reliable shuttle to "downtown" shops and Denali Park. More

We went on a 2 week trip to Alaska. We were looking for somewhat of 4 star place to stay. Well this isn't the place to go. The rooms are average at best. The view was great but what view isn't In Denali. Lastly, the service was horrible. For example, we had the breakfast buffet and within 10 minutes of... More

I was a little concerned about our stay after reading mixed reviews. I agree that the word "grande" does not describe the lodge itself, but rather the view from the lodge. We found the lodge to be a good value, by Alaskan standards, and found a coupon in the ATS book that saved us 30% - well worth the cost... More

Stayed here as part of an Alaska ground tour with Globus. Considering you are in the middle of nowhere, I wasn't expecting luxurious accommodations. The hotel was worth staying at in my view and i would stay here again. Yes, the rooms are standard, but they are nice enough, they aren't dirty or run down. The beds were comfortable, and... More

Grande it is not by my standards but it is a decent hotel. The "Lodge" is nice and has great views from it's perch high up on the hillside. My disappointment is that the architect did a very poor job of taking advantage of a superb location. What should be great views from some rooms are blocked by a poorly... More

I was very disappointed in the accomodations here. First of all, the water was NEVER hot. One evening, I actually took a shower with only warm water... the rooms are standard. Nothing special. the lodge main office/reception area is very open. The bartender at the lodge's only bar was not very friendly. However, the view outside is pretty spectacular. The... More

We stayed for 5 nights over labor day weekend and was very pleased. The staff were very accommodating answering our questions and even waking us up for our best show of northern lights! Though the road up to the hotel was very steep, the views were spectacular! The shuttles to and from Denali park, shopping and restaurants made everything easily... More

The rooms were nice and clean with comfy beds. The only downsides were the lack of fridge in the room (ice machine down hallway) and the wireless (free) was only available in the lobby. I loved the location, a beautiful view of Denali National Park from atop the bluff. We enjoyed the comfortable rooms and late dinner after a 12hr... More

Driving up the mountain to the Grande Denali at the peak of autumn colors was one of the highlights of my recent Alaska trip. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. The room could use some sprucing up, but it had all the necessary amenities and was extremely quiet. More
