Denali Hotel Suggestions?

[Travel_Maven]

My husband and I are planning a trip for June 2010. We need suggestions for a good hotel/B&B in the Denali area. We will have a car but prefer not to have to drive more than 15-20 minutes to the park entrance. We prefer a king bed but can make do with 2 queens. I've read a lot about how terrible the beds are in many hotels so any suggestions for places with comfortable beds would be great! Thanks a bunch!:)

I highly recommend Touch of Wilderness B & B. On the budget end, I have no complaints about Denali Park Hotel.

BQ, How does Touch of Wilderness compare to Denali Lakeview Inn? Thanks!

We stayed at the McKinley Creekside Cabins. Would NOT recommend. They were extremely rude, although the restaurant had great food.

We stayed at the Denali Lakeview Inn. It was about a 15 minute drive to the Park Entrance.

 

My parents had the Sparkling Waters room which had 1 king bed. We had Swan Cove which was 2 doubles. It was very comfortable. They provide a fridge with a continental breakfast. Coffee was available in the room, oatmeal, small boxes of cereal. The fridge had a fruit plate, raisin bread and danish, and some milk and juice. They would also make bagged lunches which were great for our trip into the park for a fee. The lunches were really good.

 

We really enjoyed this place. You never see the owners...your name is on a board directing you to your room. The key is in the door.

 

We would go back in an instant.
