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

I quite enjoyed our two nights at McKinley Chalet. The sitting room and rocker were a pleasant greeting as we entered our room. Three or four could sleep adequately, I wouldn't squeeze five in the room. Goodness, there are the most amazing things to see outside. The rooms were great for cleaning up and putting your head down at night.... more

We stayed in a Riverview Suite with 2 double beds and a pull out double sofa bed. There were 5 of us and NO ONE had a good night sleep on the beds. The TV in the bedroom made loud noises every so often and the curtains weren't blackouts-so we had to use towels to prevent the light from coming... more

When we signed up for this hotel as part of an independent tour after our cruise, we knew that the hotel was not up to the standards of five star hotels (after all, it's in the wilderness), and knew that the hotel was dominated by Holland America. We nonetheless expected excellent service and a nice room with adequate storage. With... more

We stayed here for one night as part of a Holland America cruise/tour package. We have stayed in many national parks across the US and this hotel is nicer than most. It was clean, with comfortable beds and looked like it had been recently remodeled. The bathroom was all new and the whole place had a "just redone" feel. It... more
