I had a decent stay at the resort, with clean and updated accommodations that provided a pretty good experience overall. The location is fantastic, close to Denali National Park with stunning views surrounding the property. While I enjoyed the amenities and the beautiful landscaping, the dining options were quite pricey, and I encountered some issues during check-in that could be improved. Overall, it's a solid choice if you're looking to explore the park.

The McKinley Chalet Resort is nestled in a beautiful mountainous area, providing stunning natural scenery that truly enhances the stay. The accommodations in the newly opened Ridgeview complex were quite comfortable, although the resort can feel a bit soulless at times due to its sheer size and limited staff presence. Additionally, the location provides a good shuttle service into Denali National Park, making excursions easy. However, the experience was marred by a lack of organization when it comes to baggage handling, which caused confusion during our arrival and departure.
