Great spot!

We loved our night here. It’s right on the main shopping area but up a hill so it’s not conveniently located and also a little secluded. The room was small and cozy. The shower was great - good pressure and super hot water! We brought our pup and everyone said hi to him. The staff was very kind and welcoming. We will definitely be back! I added a photo of the view from our room. I will say that we live in Alaska and read other reviews and I think it’s just that people have no understanding of how remote and difficult life can be in Alaska. This is a very nice hotel in rural Alaska and I am so grateful for the care that was taken in the cleanliness and atmosphere and amenities. This is definitely a great spot to stay.

Cabin seems kinda crowded but if you are looking for two beds might work better. All cabins had ice cooler out front and ice provided. Husband did better than I at getting shower to cooperate. Parking lot to cabin was quite the distance with stairs. Still trying to get up and running and some things not working well like on site place to eat or drink, limited hours on hot tub / sauna and office. Staff tries hard but still trying to get their groove on.

First, when I got there, I had to go up a road that was totally for a 4 / 4 SUV or truck. Not a motorcycle. Second, the things that they advertised, such as hot tubs and restaurants. We're not available and last but not least. I got there 9 minutes before my checkout time, and they literally made us. Wait. We were the only ones staying at that hotel. Absolutely, horrible experience. I will never go back.And this is the third time that i've had a bad experience with expedia

The property was nice, but what stood out most was the staff they were outstanding. Our car had broken down and the town we were staying in was not very big so there were no mechanics surround however, the maintenance guy Logan took the time to get a new belt for us and repaired a car while we were out hiking Denali, Andres at the front desk found Logan for us and was very helpful. Can’t say enough about how great the staff there is.

We were here to visit Denali national park. The crows nest is only about 1 mile from the park entrance. So super convenient for our main goal. There are a ton of little shops, great eating establishments as well. The crows nest are individual cabins. They are not dry cabins, have hot water and a bathroom. They are definitely old, but have a fresh coat of paint. The restaurant on site has great service and good food but pricey. We tried a different place in Denali each night and never had a bad meal. But for coffee/breakfast highly recommend Black Bear down the hill. Over all we were satisfied with our stay!

Comfortable cabin, friendly staff. If you stay in the 300-500 numbered cabins, they are located on the side of a mountain, so you have to climb stairs to get to the restaurant or go to the shops in town.

Great location with respect to park access. Stretch 3 star lodging. Lodging is dated and due for a major renovation. The rooms are not level (i.e. if you put a marble on the floor, it will roll quickly to the other side). Carpet worn out. Fixtures in various states of disrepair. Faucets in the shower and sink are close to end of life. We didn't need AC with the windows open, but it would be hot sleeping if the weather was warmer, and there was some noise from other guests due to the open windows and close proximity of walkways and rooms. Restaurant was very good, as was the entire staff. For the price in this location during high season, it was OK, but our group (3 rooms) would look for a better alternative next time, even if the price was higher.

Clean cozy rooms with difficult access.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The accommodations were fine. The cabins are on a hill and you must climb a very steep hill each time you want to go anywhere. The shuttle was a great amenity.

Cabins are very cute from the outside BUT the interiors need updating and repair. Ours had a burnt smell and it was no wonder considering the heater had something burnt on to its grate and the smoke detector was missing. They are hard to access you park at the bottom of the hill and walk up boardwalks to get up to it ... if it is raining in Alaska, this is crazy difficult and SLIPPERY! For the outrageous cost per night to stay there it is not worth it.
