Great location and great food
Great stay! We were weary of the place from past pictures but it has been renovated. Our room had a fridge and a microwave. We had a great view of the mountains and the Nenana River. Food and service at Alpenglow were spectacular! They were so welcoming of us and our infant and took great care of us. It is fine dining so definitely on the pricey side.

The property was quite clean and tidy, and the room was good-sized. We faced the parking lot despite paying a premium rate and booking 6 months in advance. The property is at the top of a hill, a long distance down and up a hill to other eating options. The only restaurant on site was expensive and had no moderately priced meals. No lunch was served. There is an espresso cafe on site with some old-looking packaged foods. They get high marks for coordinating with Alaska Rail for transportation and luggage handling. There was a fire alarm at 1:30 in the morning forcing everyone to evacuate. There was no management present to tell bewildered guests what to do, and no explanation was given the following morning about what happened. I would put this hotel’s management in the category of an average Motel 6 or Holiday Inn. Luckily the beauty of Denali overshadowed these shortcomings.

300 dollars for a view of the parking lot. Not at all why we booked the hotel. $50 extra for a room with a view. Lady at front desk is awfully rude. I would not stay here again.

Attractive area with continued improvements being made. Early in season, so many staff were still learning, but all friendly and eager to assist. Lots of landscaping to complete.

We were there early in the season so I think things weren’t quite up to speed yet. They didn’t have a full staff so no cleaning of rooms without a special request etc. overall it was a nice place with a good view and they were very accommodating.

gorgeous location but inconvenient without a car
This is the most gorgeous location of any hotel in the McKinley Park area. However, it is quite a long, steep, muddy hike to get up to the hotel from the town / restaurants below. Dining options are very limited at the Lodge and the hotel's shuttle bus only runs every hour, ending by 8 or 9PM. This is quite early given that Alaska has long hours of daylight and tours often don't end until late. I would only recommend staying here if you have a car
