Beautiful river view
Really enjoyed the location and the room was clean and nice. We were close to Denali and there was a bigger resort to check out and eat at across the street as well as a small town just miles away.

Easy check in and nice to know manager was available on site for emergencies. Parking lot had multiple food trucks for convenience and dining options. Room was clean with clear views of the water, would definitely recommend for shorter Denali trips.

Nice!
We stayed for one night. Our room had a balcony overlooking the river. It would have been nice to stay more days but our schedule was tight.

It was a lovely property and close to the park. There are multiple food trucks in the facility that are very easy and yummy. Know that WiFi is expensive and service is minimal, but other than that, a lovely and rustic place!

The "Griz" is located across the road from a departure point for most tours and activities. The rooms in the hotel section have a view of the river and it's quiet!

This was our most expensive stay during our whole trip in Alaska but our least favorite. The location was great as it was close to Denali national park. There was also nice trails nearby and we even got to see a moose on one of the trails. The rooms were clean but no fridge or microwave. There was a microwave in the store that we could use but not until 9 am. Also, wifi was only included for the first 30 minutes and then you would have to pay for longer. Also the shower would get cold pretty quickly.

Great view of trees along a creek. Good clean ADA accessible room, but beds needed more pillows and blankets. Limited food trucks are on site (Jamaican and Thai). You can drive 6 miles for more food options. All in all, seeing Denali National Park, was worth any other inconvenience.

Clean, comfortable, competitive price
Room was very clean and comfortable. Price $300 for two beds, much less than resort across the highway. Fills up depending on cruise bookings.

6/10 Good

The rv dump station was across from our building and stunk, but we had to keep our window open, because there was no air conditioning and it was hot inside the room. There was no fan to cool things down either. The wifi is charged $20 per day per device, which is outrageous. We much preferred the White Moose Lodge a few miles away for comfort and conveniences (and free wifi).

Rooms are good and location is scenic . But away from dine in options. No free WiFi ( more than 30 mins everyday ) , which we encountered first time compare to many hotels and resorts . Cleaning service is only when ask for it. Everyday I have I ask for supplies for making coffee . On site dining options of Thia and Spanish food truck were Ok

For the price, no amenities. Small beds. We were led to believe I booked a room with the balcony over the river and instead was provided a room overlooking the parking lot. Less than friendly ladies in the check-in office. I wish we had stayed across the street; we went there to hang out, dine.

Great room with river facing. Very limited amenities but good enough for a cabin like room. Nice Thai food in the premise. Overall a great stay here.

Big negative is that they don’t provide free Wi-Fi service even after charging so much money per day. We had yo buy it for 20 dollars per phone per day which is very absurd unlike other hotels near by. I will go for other properties near Denali visitor center.
