Spectacular views of Denali right from our room. There were fire pits to sit at outside, the restaurant was lovely and delicious, the bus transports to the city (very mini with a few shops and restaurants) and to the train station/visitor center. Lovely overall!

Great location for access to Denali National Park. The room and bed were comfortable, and there is a restaurant and grab 'n go market were we purchased breakfast items to eat in our room. Shuttles for the Denali bus tour pick you up right at the hotel. A little pricey for what you get, but you can't beat the location - the view from the outdoor deck was beautiful, especially in September with the fall colors.

This hotel in Denali has the very location of all hotels, on a mountain overlooking the park. Great old charm, lots of wood and timber inside, excellent restaurant, and a great, young, energetic and pleasant staff. The shuttle bus gives great transportation to all relevant points. Cannot thank them enough for a wonderful vacation there.

We were very happy with our choice of booking this lodge. We loved the stunning view, the proximity to Denali visitors center, and the responsiveness and kindness of the service staff. It was nice to be picked up for our Tandra wilderness bus tour from the hotel. The hotel provides shuttle service, but we didn’t need it as we had a rental car.

Denali in the fall

The service was amazing, met at the train station and handed our room keys-since they had already checked us in. the room was spacious and clean. On site dining at Alpenglow restaurant was delicious. We stayed on the last night of the season and it would have been easy to let service slide. Appreciated the wake up call option to view the northern lights!
