Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge - Talkeetna, Alaska

If you are looking forward to to a quite stay with breathtaking views this is the place for you. The rooms are cozy and have a nice size frig for your personal items. Don't forget to pack our personal bathroom products like shampoo and condition because there are non in the room. Other then that I really enjoyed my stay, the food was good and everyone I spoke to working there was nice and helpful.

The property is very nice and the views of Denali NP are beautiful. I booked this stay 3 months ago and we were given a room next to the stairwell which was extremely noisy. We heard every person going up or down the stairs. When I told the manager, she offered to move us but we had already moved all of our luggage into the room. Simply put, not worth $400 per night. Glad we were only there for one night.

In our two-week stay throughout Alaska, the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge was the best place we stayed. I would have loved to spend more time there than we did. It was nicely located, the grounds were impeccable, and the views were fantastic. We met many staff members who were personable and willing to chat about their experiences in Alaska. The rooms were spotless and the beds comfortable. I highly recommend staying a few days in order to see the area and relax in the wilderness and beauty that is Alaska.

Yes this place is pretty, located in a beautiful area with trails, but this was the least favorite place we stayed on our trip to Interior Alaska.

The main hotel is on the 3rd floor. WiFi didn't work well here like most places we stayed out. Really wish there was some sort of breakfast provided because to eat here was extremely exorbitant.

I would research other places before staying here, but if you do stay here, utilize the shuttle service. It is probably the best we encountered on our trip and will help you save money eating in town

Wonderful stay at the lodge! The front desk staff was so sweet in accommodating me. 10/10 would recommend very conveniently located and easy to navigate. The property is very well maintenance like what a 5 start lodge would be

I’m honestly confused how this place has such incredible reviews. Yes, the view is amazing. The service is alright. The rooms are DISGUSTING (see attached photos). The first room we were given was so filthy we asked for a new room, only to find it was also very dirty. Layers of dust, dried blood on the duvet, hair in the sheets, hair and mold in the shower and bathroom, and dirt caked along the edge of the carpet. For a lodge that is supposedly a 4-star stay at over $400 a night, I would expect much more.

Modern but rustic hotel in the Alaskan countryside. TV and WiFi, ample parking and a free shuttle to nearby Talkeetna, a tiny town several blocks long.
Rooms on one side face Denali.
There is only one elevator so let them know that you need it.
The hotel is built on a hill so that the ground level entryway is the same floor as the third floor in the lower portion. Access is open across the floor.

No question…the location and views from the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge are excellent! I enjoyed the view from every angle…especially the back lawn and the provided view finders. We arrived a bit early for check in but completed a pre check in and were told we’d receive a text when our room would be ready so we headed downtown to Talkeetna. That text never came…even hours later. Once in our room I realized the need for some updating, better cleaning, more supportive mattress, better hallway/stairway insulation (you could hear every footstep). This was not a $400 per night experience. Again, we loved the view…we didn’t love the lack of quiet, and the dated East Wing facility. For dinner we chose the Base Camp Bistro & Bar. The hostess was less than friendly, complained they were full and the wait would be long and kinda rolled her eyes. Never did she suggest we try the Foraker Restaurant on campus and right around the corner. Once there we realized they too were busy (and very short staffed), put in our name, had a seat and relaxed while we awaited our turn. Once seated at our table we had a delicious dinner, and friendly conversation with our server from Croatia. While walking the campus of Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge I noticed none of the provided hand sanitizer stations were functioning. I reported that to the front desk and they replied…yes, we know they are empty. In hindsight I feel Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge caters to large groups instead of single families. The vibe was off! We definitely got a warmer welcome from the people in downtown Talkeetna.
