Had a very nice stay here. The motel is conveniently located near restaurants and the places to sign up for adventurous (Zipline g, ATV rides, flights around Denali, rafting, etc). And right down the street from the park entrance. The room was clean and a nice value for the price, but we could hear neighbors on either side of us.

Nice little cabin in the middle of the RV park. Clean and quiet. Some of the furniture could be upgraded (desk chair was broken) but overall good for the price.

Kevin the van driver was super friendly and helpful! The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The only problem was they made us move rooms agter one night (they did email me that information right after we booked, so at least it wasn't a surprise).

The location is so convenient. We were able to walk across the street and get on the Princess bus which would take us into Denali for free. It was easy to walk to good restaurants. So the location was perfect. However the staff was not always helpful (except Kevin who picked us up at the train depot - he was the best!). Anyway the bathroom was sort of clean and the rooms were very basic. It was ok for a couple of nights. The beds were not comfortable and the 2 pillows were the smallest flattest pillows we have ever seen.

The exterior of the lodge and office looks awful; the room is plain, with exposed unpainted pipes, but the bath was new and fine (except for a noisy fan), the bedspread and pillowcases delightful for the location, and the bear lamp wonderful. The best thing about our stay was the wonderful, helpful staff. We requested a 1st floor room due to our age (late 80s) and got one with accessible ramp & shower. We requested a shuttle and had the most wonderful driver, helper, and all-around good man in Kevin!

The manager made special arrangements for us to be picked up after normal hours from a Denali tour and took us to the hotel for a late check-in. The driver was friendly, courteous, and very accommodating to our itinerary.

This is a basic hotel. It served the purpose to get us near Denali NP. The Princess bus picks up passengers across the street from Rainbow Lodge to take people into the park. This is the only reason to stay at this motel. Kevin picked us up from the train depot to take us to the Rainbow Motel. He was very helpful and curtious.

Basic but Ok
If all you need is a basic place to stay during your time here, this place will work. Pros: -Location. It is very closer to the entrance to Denali National Park and it's easy to get to the shops and couple of restaurants. -Bathroom. Seems to have been recently remodeled and was decent. Could have used a shelf of some sort in the shower. Cons: -Location. This is right off the main road, which means it can be noisy with the traffic going by. If you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs. -Almost zero drawer space for clothes etc. There were maybe 5 hangers in our room and a tiny set of 2 drawers-not nearly enough space for 4 people. -Noisy hallways. The walls are paper thin and we could hear everyone in the hallways, including the cleaning staff who were quite loud. For the price, this place was ok, but nothing special.

The ONLY place to stay in Denali
Amazing place to stay in Denali. After viewing the lay of the town, THIS is the place you want to stay. Don’t let other reviews fool you, this place was perfect. It’s exactly where you want to me, directly across from where you catch the bus into the national park, back to the bus depot or the train. For how much time you will spend in the park, the convenience factor alone makes this place worth it. Plus it’s the only place in town close to all the restaurants and shops. So unless you have a car, this is definitely the place you want to stay because it’s the only place where you can walk to everything. The building rooms were huge. Had a full kitchen, dining table, fridge, microwave and it looked weird at first, with a water heater in the bathroom, but guess what, your own personal supply of hot water for the showers with zero delay. Kevin who works there is amazing. He greeted us at the train station and helped up with our luggage. They provide a van to pick us up. He checked us in and throughout the week was always there to help. He even drove us to the two National Park entrance signs so we could get our pictures since the busses don’t stop there. Kevin was great! All in all, highly recommend staying here.

We stayed here for 3 nights in the motel. The place is very clean and the staff is very kind. The laundry is 5$ per load. They provide shuttle to and from the train depot. Shuttle to the bus depot is available across the street. The rooms have keurig coffee. We had not taken a pic in front of the famous Denali sign and Kevin was kind to stop. The motel is situated on the boardwalk where you can shop for souvenirs, get coffee, ice cream, crepes, sandwiches, sushi, Chinese food, burgers, hotdogs, and much more. We had a nice lunch across the street at the Grizzly Bear w a beautiful view. Kevin and all the staff were very welcoming. We would stay here again!
