We liked the buses that helped us get around the property. We liked the variety of restaurants and shops. We also liked the activities, games, music, and s’mores offered on the property. It was a beautiful location on the river and very close to Denali National Park.

Would highly recommend-we stayed one other place in Denali and the Holland America Lodge has all of the creature comforts and transportation everywhere you want to go.

The property was fine. It was a bit dated and on the edge of shabby for the room condition and furnishings.
The bed was comfortable.
The front desk staff seemed unorganized and not real knowledgeable.
The wait staff were all excellent, the expeditors in the lobby were helpful and friendly.
