We stayed here for 2 nights when visiting Denali National Park in August. Due to my late planning, they didn't have any one room available for the 2 nights we wanted to stay. So, I booked one night in the Blue Moose room and one in the Purple Caribou room.

Our first night was in the Purple Caribou room and it was a nice space with a balcony overlooking the mountains and lake. Sadly, the weather wasn't cooperating during our stay so we didn't spend any time on the balcony.

The staff, though we never saw any of them, were great in the fact that they moved all of our stuff for us into the Blue Moose room for our second evening. That room was, in our opinion, just as nice as the first. No major differences aside from the decor. I do think the deck was a shared one as opposed to the personal deck in the purple caribou room - but again, we didn't use these due to the weather.

The check-in process is different than most B&B/Inn-type places I've stayed in before. There is no interaction with any staff or owners - information is left for the guests on the front porch that directs you to your room with the key in the door. They do ask that you remove your shoes, which is common for B&Bs and Inns. The breakfast they provide is really just a few individual-serving boxes of cereal, plus some milk, juice, and fruit in the minifridge. I do believe there were also muffins in the fridge. Nothing to write home about, but enough to fill you in the morning. They also offer boxed or bagged lunches to take with you to the park if that's what you have planned. Just let them know the evening before (via a message board of sorts) and you'll have your lunch.

All in all, I'd recommend it to travelers - but the lack of personal interaction means I wouldn't seek it out as a MUST stay if we ever make it back to the area. It's that personal interaction that I usually enjoy most when staying at an Inn or B&B.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel in early September 2011. When going up to Denali area we looked for places that were not too commercial, since we did not want to stay at a big fancy hotel, but wanted more of an Alaskan experience. This hotel looked great on their web site and the communication with the hotel was great during reservation. When we arrived we found the hotel to be nice, clean and very comfortable. We stayed at the Blue Moose room which had fantastic view! We really enjoyed the view and the hotel. The room had a fridge, toaster, and other little kitchen items. The hotel requires shoes to be left by the mail door, which I thought was really good since it keeps the place cleaner. The hotel has a old fashion decor, grandmother's style, but clean like I said. Overall we enjoyed our 2 day stay, good experience.

Stayed here for several nights back in mid September 2011during our trek to Denali. It was comfy, cozy and the view from the balcony was spectacular ! Stayed in the Midnight Sun room which was clean with a mini-fridge full of goodies for breakfast. They also provided as an option a bag of lunch which you can take to the DNP. Denali Lakeview Inn is about 15 minutes drive to the Denali National Park Visitor Ctr. So if you're looking for some place quiet with a reasonable rate, this place is it ! Oh before I forget, we also ate at Black Diamond's Grill which is just around the corner from the Lakeview Inn and their food and service was awesome !!!

Fantastic accommodation in beautiful location. Saw a moose and baby for first time. Had the hiccup with end room - right hand bottom room (noise from central heating - knocking in the early morning ?) but moved promptly to another room in middle (fortunately beginning of season so only a couple of guests). Generous breakfast provisions and the takeaway dinner we ordered (and had delivered) from pub down the road was fantastic !
