Would definitely stay here again. Gorgeous property with convenient shuttle to train and park. The food at the saloon was delicious and the best service I can remember getting at any restaurant I have been to. I just wish we had stayed for longer.

The Princess Wilderness Lodge is centrally located near Denali National Park and Denali Village. Everything you could possibly need is either on property or within walking distance. There are very helpful shuttle services to and from the park and the train station. And excursion companies provide shuttle services that stop at this resort as well.

We loved our stay at Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge. The location is perfect for visiting Denali National Park, the grounds are beautiful, and our room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. The staff was friendly, and everything was well organized. The only downside was that our room didn’t have a refrigerator or microwave.

I was a bit skeptical due to reviews but our stay was more than great!! We stayed in a room with 2 beds, the room was well maintained and clean. The location is 10/10, super close the park and shuttle stops. There are onsite restaurants, gift shops, and coffee & downtown is directly across the street. I didn’t realize this lodge was mainly geared for princess cruise guests, but we still enjoyed it very much. Definitely recommend.

It’s a very good hotel to stay! Important notes, kitchen has microwave, refrigerator, dish washer but no oven. Breakfast options are good for vegetarians as well. Waffles, oatmeal, cereals, bread and patties, egg were in the menu.
