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
