Amazing stay at the Princess Lodge. The room was super clean, and the staff on-site were very helpful. We would have loved it if the restaurants were open until a bit more late (like 11 or midnight) or if there was a deli/vending machine for readymade food pickup.

We had a fabulous view and the room was well appointed. If anything to mention, a mini-fridge would have been a nice convenience. The food outlets we tried were very good and the location was extremely convenient. Our Denali tour bus picked us up right at the lodge.

Front desk was not that welcoming. Parking was not explained well. Housekeeping barges in the room at 8am with one knock. Hotel was very clean and nice. Room was nice. Ask for an upstairs room. You can hear all the footsteps and ceiling noise downstairs.

The staff here us so focused on the many Cruise customers that they have little regard for overnight folks like us. The hotel location is excellent, so if you don't need any help from the staff, then it is an OK place to stay. The price was almost twice that of the McKinley Princess and the service dor non-cruise customers was subpar.

The check-in process was quite slow and we spent 35 minutes at the front desk. We just stayed in for one night but early in the morning we were waked up twice one at 7:30 am, the other at 8:30 am, asking us if we need room service — the 8:30 one directly opened our door without consent, which is extremely rude and inappropriate.

The check in building was awesome. The concept was like a little village and was amazing. The grounds needed some serious upkeep ie paint and bushes/tree and "lawn" maintenance. The room was nice but had peeling paint in a few spots. Most of the staff was nice, but some made us feel like an inconvenience. Overall good experience, but for the price I definitely expected better.
