Good place to stay
A unique, fun place to stay. Hotel staff was very accomodating in helping us to have a room that met my disability needs. Shuttle met us at railroad and took care of getting our luggage to our room.

We liked the friendly, relaxed feel of the resort. All our interactions with staff were very positive, especially Martine at reception, Nick at the bar & Mary-Anne at the door/ tour area. Easy parking and central to the village (especially for those without a car).

Nice Time at the Shalet
It was a good comfortable stay. We also ate at the hotel’s steak house restaurant and had a good experience. Had to use a resort shuttle bus to get to room at Canyon Lodge.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Extremely well located right next to park entrance. But hotel is very poorly planned, you have to wait for a shuttle or walk far away from only 2 small parking lots. There is no housekeeping and food is very overpriced.

This is a beautiful property that I highly recommend. The resort itself is gorgeous and the rooms are large and very comfortable. After spending more for a room in Seward that wasn't even close to being in the same league as this one, I was pleasantly surprised and amazed by the McKinley Chalet Resort. I would go back there in a heartbeat.

Great location. Not enough car parking spaces. Terrible front desk service. It was end of season so help was ready to leave. Only Sophie and Jonathan--2 servers in Karstens restaurant were superb!
