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.

Poor choice

The cabin had very little heat. We had no water in the sink until someone came and installed a new faucet. The shower had water that changed from scalding to freezing every one or two seconds. We would not recommend this hotel.

Just ok

Beware that this place doesn’t include a refrigerator - just an ice chest outside, and no microwave. And you have to schedule the hot tub time. And you can’t park in front of your room. Overall it was fine but I’d stay elsewhere next time.

Cool concept. Way overpriced for what you get.

Cool cabins on the edge of a cliff. Way too much money for what you get. Peak prices in shoulder season, awkward everything in terms of operations, hours, hot tub/sauna use, driveway. Don't want to criticize but don't have a ton to compliment either. Would I stay here again? If there was nothing else available in the area, yes.

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.

Nice little cottages. Clean and well kept. No kitchen utilities other than a cooler outside. Nice restaurant. Very polite and helpful staff.

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.

It was so nice to have an individual cabin with chairs outside and a cooler and ice to keep extra food and drinks inside. The walk down the hill was long but getting a ride up by just calling the front desk was great.

Quaint motel

Convenient transportation from hotel to train station. The hotel is about 800 feet up a steep hill from the main road. You need to be in shape to climb to/from the main road to the hotel.

Best for those who can do stairs.

Parking lot was used by restaurant patrons so you had to wait for the restaurant to close to find parking. Our cabin's heater did not work and only one extra blanket. It was cold. To get to the little cabin you had to travel numerous stairs so not senior or handicap friendly. Jacuzzi and sauna were not working.

At check in the girl couldn’t answer any of my questions and she was way too focused on pushing wine on me. Also didn’t like having to walk up the steep hill carrying my luggage. No golf cart or anyone around to help me.

Free shuttle service to/from Denali National Park railroad stop. Cozy cabin, ice chest outside for drinks with gratis ice available in reception. Tasty 49th State beer for sale. Clean sheets and towels, carpet well used. nice dark out shades, TV mounted, but didn't turn it on. Shower no tub. Lots of steps to climb, but close to other nearby food and shops. The Overlook is excellent place to dine $$. Jan was attentive server. Only a couple miles to Denali National Park via pathways. Bonus bicycles on site that a member of our party was able to ride. Responsive staff, but also a lot going on at registration when we stayed.

Great location with respect to park access. Stretch 3 star lodging. Lodging is dated and due for a major renovation. The rooms are not level (i.e. if you put a marble on the floor, it will roll quickly to the other side). Carpet worn out. Fixtures in various states of disrepair. Faucets in the shower and sink are close to end of life. We didn't need AC with the windows open, but it would be hot sleeping if the weather was warmer, and there was some noise from other guests due to the open windows and close proximity of walkways and rooms. Restaurant was very good, as was the entire staff. For the price in this location during high season, it was OK, but our group (3 rooms) would look for a better alternative next time, even if the price was higher.

The property and cabins are ok nothing special. Had a problem with my Expedia reservations on the properties end and it took a day to resolve it and was offered breakfast to make up for the inconvenience. When arriving after difficulty finding it the clerk stated that breakfast would be $18.00 each and that their restaurant was closed and there would be boxed breakfast in the lobby. The $18.00 breakfast was 2 mini muffins, an apple, small yogurt and granola bar not hardly worth $18.00. Very disappointing across the board.
