cancellation rules need to be better detailed. I booked 2 nights. Because of a change of our job we had to cut our trip shorter. So I had to cancel one night. I gave over 2 months notice but was still charged 30% of one night. I made a comment that they could rent the night to someone else and was told that they could not do that??? This seemed unfair.

Did not give option of ground floor accommodation. It was very difficult for me to climb the stairs to the room. Also when asked if there was any shuttle service to post office the clerk said no they didnt have any. They never bothered to tell us about the park shuttle that was available with reservations. Same when asked about shipping supplies or services. The clerk said no there wasnt any. Did not mention the store directly in front of them had shipping supplies and services But the room was beautiful and it was a pleasure to stay in it

Was in Denali for four nights, though only could book the Princess Lodge for three. There are around seven hotels/motels close to the Denali entrance, Rainbow Village one of them, so it gets points for its proximity to the park. Stayed one night, walking my bags across the highway. Night and day from the beautiful and comfy Denali Princess. I get that for budget reasons (though it is still pricey) and availability (hard to get rooms elsewhere) some will choose Rainbow Village. To be fair the room was larger than the Princess, though lacking any charm or character. Still, it was clean, including the bathroom. Staff was friendly such as the super personable driver to the bus station, Kevin, who handles many chores. Another plus is several places to eat are within walking distance, yet could also walk to the Princess Lodge (and others) with their many restaurants. The whole building, including the hallways, the tiny office, etc. simply look very second rate. Was also noisy in the evening and morning as one family chose to allow other guests to also experience the joy of their loud child running the hall, the family keeping its door open. (Some are simply clueless.) Thankfully, at least at night that didn’t last too long. Overall Rainbow Village is certainly OK. But if able to splurge a bit more, especially traveling a great distance to Denali, for a more relaxing and upscale experience should try and book one of the others nearby, if available.

The room was very dated and the bed was very uncomfortable. It bothered me that they charge for internet on top of that.

Basic but good. Great location
Basic, but much better than expected. Excellent location. Rainbow RV’s shuttle driver was the most helpful and friendly person at the complex. A real asset to the establishment.

Had a very nice stay here. The motel is conveniently located near restaurants and the places to sign up for adventurous (Zipline g, ATV rides, flights around Denali, rafting, etc). And right down the street from the park entrance. The room was clean and a nice value for the price, but we could hear neighbors on either side of us.

Kevin the van driver was super friendly and helpful! The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The only problem was they made us move rooms agter one night (they did email me that information right after we booked, so at least it wasn't a surprise).

The location is so convenient. We were able to walk across the street and get on the Princess bus which would take us into Denali for free. It was easy to walk to good restaurants. So the location was perfect. However the staff was not always helpful (except Kevin who picked us up at the train depot - he was the best!). Anyway the bathroom was sort of clean and the rooms were very basic. It was ok for a couple of nights. The beds were not comfortable and the 2 pillows were the smallest flattest pillows we have ever seen.

The exterior of the lodge and office looks awful; the room is plain, with exposed unpainted pipes, but the bath was new and fine (except for a noisy fan), the bedspread and pillowcases delightful for the location, and the bear lamp wonderful. The best thing about our stay was the wonderful, helpful staff. We requested a 1st floor room due to our age (late 80s) and got one with accessible ramp & shower. We requested a shuttle and had the most wonderful driver, helper, and all-around good man in Kevin!

The manager made special arrangements for us to be picked up after normal hours from a Denali tour and took us to the hotel for a late check-in. The driver was friendly, courteous, and very accommodating to our itinerary.

This is a basic hotel. It served the purpose to get us near Denali NP. The Princess bus picks up passengers across the street from Rainbow Lodge to take people into the park. This is the only reason to stay at this motel. Kevin picked us up from the train depot to take us to the Rainbow Motel. He was very helpful and curtious.
