Great location for visiting the park. Really friendly and helpful bar manager and staff. Make sure you ask for a room on one of the lower levels. It’s a serious trek up to level 5.

Small cabins were cute, nice and clean, young staff was very nice and helpful, good taco restaurant onsite. Just be prepared to walk steep terrain that is dirt and or rock stairs to get to town. They do bring your luggage to your room though which does help.

Crow’s Nest name is accurate description

We enjoyed our four night stay as the entire staff went out of their way to meet your requests. What we did not expect was the up hill location of the level five cabins. As is typical of many shops and other locations in mountain towns, there was a lot of trekking up and down stairs. Be sure to get a lower level cabin if you have difficulty navigating stairs. Staff will take you in golf carts if you ask. Denali is awesome and Crow’s Nest is very close to shops and restaurants—just have to climb down if you do not have a vehicle. Views are great from their restaurant deck and the cabins.

John was the most friendly staff member at the property -- if it wasn't for him, this property would receive 2 stars. The '$20 breakfast to go' was disgusting. The shuttle service was a joke. Stay somewhere else, especially if you have small kids. The stairs were steep with a lot of them!

The property was difficult to locate. We did call and received directions. Staff was very helpful in general. The TV in our room did not work and we were unable to connect to the Internet. We did reach out to staff…who came to fix the TV…still did not work. We really didn’t need the TV or Internet, however if it’s offered, it would be nice if it worked. Beautiful setting.

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.

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.

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.
