I loved this stay. Room was a bit hot because the curtains were open before we checked in and the sun was beaming into the room but once we opened the sliding glass door it cooled down a bit. The whole lodge and area/river is super cool

Would have rather had two queen beds instead of full sized. This is the perfect place to stay if you want to get away from the cruise crowd at the other side of Denali.

We enjoyed our stay at the Grizzly Bear resort so much! The room was beautiful and very clean. The bed was really comfortable. We loved having a balcony overlooking the Nenana river. We enjoyed eating at the Thai food truck on site. The resort is really close to Denali National Park. It has a nice gift shop with snacks. The staff was great. The housekeepers were very sweet. It's a great place to stay!

Beautiful view of the river. Staff was not very friendly. Bring your own coffee...coffee in room is terrible. Also, quite loud....you hear every footstep outside your room and above you....and lots of road noise.
