We loved staying here! Didn't realize it was connected to Princess Cruises, but it was a reasonable price and had everything we needed. We were blessed with views of Mt. McKinley 3 days in a row. Highly Recommended.

Check in easy. Rooms were noisy. Our neighbors were up really late and it made it a bit hard to rest the 1st night. We enjoyed rrsort but it was far from the Natl Park and a long drive. We got mixed up when booking and booked wrong resort become of how Princess naned these resorts. Food good. Treehouse was awesome.

Room not ready at 4:30. Had to try 5 keys before able to get into room as lock not working but housekeeping opened door so could put suit cases in. Tried doing the wash but machine/system did not work without a maintenance call. They were all helpful just was a lot after traveling all day.

Requested two beds, two friends. Got one. Was switched to another room but it was not made up. Had to walk uphill with the luggage at the second room - first room had a parking lot in front. Room was not made up the second day. Staff was unable to help.

Unfortunately, our one-night stay at this lodge was less than ideal. The property felt quite dated, and we immediately noticed the air conditioning was not working, which made for an uncomfortable night. Adding to the discomfort, there was a peculiar smell in the bathroom when using the shower. To top it off, the beds were not very comfortable, making it difficult to get a good night's rest. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.

We had a great stay. Loved the grounds. The front desk was great and very helpful. The only thing is we had to do laundry. We weren’t comfortable downloading an app just to get our laundry done so we went to cabin 14 where we could use quarters. The quarter machine was out so the front desk told us we could get change at the gift shop. The workers at the gift shop were irritated that the front desk told us to get change from them. The manager of the gift shop was kind of rude and wasn’t happy the front desk sent us to the gift shop. She would only allow us $3 in quarters. To wash and dry a load was $5. I had to buy something just to get some more change. I’m not sure what the issue was. It’s all owned by Princess so what does it matter. My suggestion would be just get machines you can tap your credit card on rather than making your guests download a sketchy app. Otherwise it was great and the 20320 restaurant was good too although it did take awhile to get our food but I would definitely stay again and eat at the restaurant

DISAPPOINTING. 3pm check in not ready until 6pm. Specified ground floor as we had two people who cannot walk/do stairs much - we were given top floor - stairs only. property is pretty, nicely laid out but severely lacking in detail - probably poor management. Bar and restaurant service poor and slow. Cold food, chowder came with drops all over the outside of bowl - presentation poor. Poor vegetarian options and when i requested one they very kindly made me an extremely small portion of stir fry (which was nice) but severely over charged. Parking is a problem. Hotel is full of cruise people.
