I chose this hotel to stay at because of his proximity to the Saint Elias Ranger station. It was absolutely gorgeous, I had a great time. The park is beautiful, and the lodge was gorgeous with amazing views.

Great location with views of the wrangell np. Lobby area is great. The naturalist evening walk tour was very informative and we loved it. Food options were good and we would love to have more vegetarian options added to the menu.

Nice hotel, comfortable, but for what you pay and not to have coffee in the lobby, refrigerator or microwave in the room is ridiculous. Even a microwave in the lobby would have been nice.
