Basically the only hotel still open this time of year, but I would stay again even if other options were available. Staff recommended some great spots to see the Aurora as well as a list of restaurants still open. Not too far from Denali park either.

There are a number of potholes you must maneuver around on the approach road and several more on the parking lot. Rug in entrance way has a raised corner you could trip over of not watching where going. Other than that is excellent hotel.

Really wanted to like this property but unfortunately missed the mark. It was an affordable option with no frills. The property does have 2 building, a 2 story with the office and another single story building with a few rooms. We were in the single story side and it was definitely an old nursing home. Room was clean and average size, okay for 2. But the bed and pillows were very uncomfortable. The breakfast bowl provided, in room, everyday was a nice thought but the go-yurts and capri suns were things we would never eat but felt guilty to waste.

Overall this place is very overpriced, there is nothing special about it, $200/nt should get you a much nicer place! We were in the building across from the office, Coffee doesn’t show up until later in the morning. Upon check in the desk clerk pushed the black diamond resort, didn’t mention the diner next door for breakfast or the Wi-Fi info. Bed was uncomfortable. I would not recommend.
