The property was very nice. Area was stunning. Internet options were pricey as well as the laundry facility. At check in the gal talked very fast and was hard to understand. She said we had instruction in our room for everything but there was nothing. Had to go back several time to to speak with her. Otherwise, it was a beautiful place. Hope to be back soon.

Clean rustic looking property. This is last night for the season. Check in was easy, they left a map and keys on the bulletin board by office! Friendly guy explained when I called ahead and it was as he said!

Location and river view was phenomenal. I was expecting a few (minor) amenities, especially for the price tag , such as a refrigerator or even a small table. The hotel beds are very comfortable and they provided soaps and towels and a micro coffee maker. I would stay again but bring a cooler for items you want to keep while you’re out all day. The front desk staff were the nicest people and helpful in so many ways

The hotel uses a "pay for" third party "Wifi" Internet provider; you have to create an account and provide a credit card to use it. I have stayed in thousands of hotels and have never run into this. In my opinion it is a form of nickel and dimeing their guests and is unacceptable. There is also no desk or counter space to sit and use a laptop at.

I came from Japan and came with my Fairbanks family. I was able to spend time with my children quietly and with peace of mind. I also enjoyed the view of the river.

This place is beautiful with an amazing river view. Only downside was the fact that you have to pay for internet.

Checking in was stressful. The room was clean but had poor lighting. Wifi did not exist or you had to pay for it. We could smell their sewage treatment plant at times. The room was hot with no ac and we had a hard time sleeping. The setting was nice with the river/ Mountain View.

Clean rooms with a balcony towards the river. Quiet and clean property close enough to Denali park and convinces, but far enough for some peace and quiet.

We stayed in C10, second floor balcony. Clean room, attentive staff. Our room overlooked the Nenana River and the Alaska RR passed by occasionally high on the opposite bank. There is a modest camp store on the property with basic supplies: alcohol, ice, fire wood, snack foods. And its right off the Parks Highway. The greatest attraction to DGBR is its proximity to a major new infrastructure project just completed by NPS. The Triple Lakes trailhead is within easy walking distance on newly improved, paved pathways leading to outstanding hiking opportunities for casual walks along the Nenana or for wilderness jaunts up and over to the Triple Lakes and on to the DNP Visitor Center. The DNP Road is only a short ten minute drive up the Parks Highway. DGBR has numerous stay opportunities, camping, RV spaces with hook ups, motel rooms, showers, laundry, and what we are going to check out next time are the cabins located above the main property that have extraordinary views of the Nenana River and the surrounding mountains. Its will be exquisite in the Fall, gold, green and red. Great value, excellent location, so we'll be going back soon.

In a night with a heavy snow the heating system in our room wasn't working properly. It was awfully cold and there is nobody to contact after 9 AM in the reception. Bad experience.

We had such an amazing stay in Denali and the Grizzly Bear was part of that experience. The room was clean and comfortable. A food truck serving Thai food was available in the parking lot. The view from our room was beautiful and peaceful.

I was happy with our room. I am not 100% but I think you only get 30mins of wifi? It didn't seem like a lot and assuming after that 30mins you would have to pay I didn't use it. Its just something to check if you rely on it. If you have a car the distance into Denali and the shops and services isn't bad but there is currently a lot of construction on the junction to the hotel and a pilot car system. I am not sure how much longer this will last but it can add a fair chunk of time to you days if you catch it wrong. I don't know how eco friendly the hotel is, I am sure they do everything they can. Apparently they only change towels if you stay 4 nights so this must help. Finally DGBR are very clear over their no refund policy and through no fault of DGBR we lost a night so just be sure your plans are solid. I would use this hotel again.

So the room was great. Great view. Great size. Unfortunately internet was not great (fine for me but not the teenager). The parking for my room was not close. First night was good, second I had a note on my car the next day that it wasn’t.

Basically a turn-and-burn no frills tourist accommodation. Very poor value for money and not terribly comfortable. A last resort option if nothing else is available.
