10/10 Exceptional

This place is fine. We arrived in mid-September, so that may have affected our experience. The rooms were fine. It's a place to stay. It is an easy walk to the few shops and restaurants and a nice hike to the park. Dining had limited options, especially for breakfast. Park tour buses stop here, which is also a plus. Pickup from the train station is available for an extra price. It was convenient to use as you get a tag for the hotel when you check into the train, and they take from there to the hotel. I would recommend it as a fine base for your Denali adventure.

The deluxe king room was spacious and had great views. 2nd floor vaulted ceiling made room feel even more spacious. Restaurant/bar on property good variety and friendly, quick service. Only complaint which is a personal issue is the hotel transportation route. The service they provide to and from the park and town is great, however from Denali Bluffs the transport then goes to Grand Denali which is very high up and not good on those who aren't fond of heights on public transportation. After the first ride up the hill which consist of multiple switchbacks we changed our plans so we wouldn't have to do again.

near Denali National Park--however if you have mobility issues not a good place to stay as lots of walking required to get to your room.

Arriving by train and having check-in combined with the shuttle ride up to the hotel was super slick. My room was giant, had a great view, and was clean and comfy. Only downside: the shuttle into the park took forever, and I ended up walking instead most of the time. If you aren't there as part of a cruise/tour, just be prepared for most of the guests to be cruise ship people.

Very nice hotel room relatively close to Denali. Outside propane fire pit did not work. When staff was asked about this we were told they were out of propane and probably wouldn’t be getting any more as the end of the season was approaching. We felt that if we paid the same as earlier summer guests we should have the same amenities. Otherwise it was a good stay and would stay again.

Cozy and Close Park Access
Clean and comfortable. This stay fit out needs well. You can hear a little noise from the floor above but not much. There is a restaurant on site with a nice view - menu is small and prices are tourist prices, but it fit out needs and food was good. The bathroom is a little snug, but overall nice and for our needs. Location is hard to beat for park access. The little balcony was nice for coffee in the morning.

6/10 Good

Rooms are tiny, beds are quite uncomfortable and there’s not much space to open bags/store stuff. Despite location views from room are terrible - just overlook other rooms instead of outdoors. There are some convenient food options - esp grab and go early in the morning and they have a shuttle service to the park.

There were 4 used towels left in our room when we checked in. 2 were in the bathroom and 2 behind the TV. The food at the mountaineer grill was good.

Shuttle was great taking to town and to the park! Staff was superb! Beds could be a bit softer but nothing a few pillows couldn’t fix!

The overall condition of Denali Bluffs was great. Although our room (and the bathroom!) reeked of smoke. Fortunately they moved us to another room. Parking was a bit of a walk to the rooms. And the shuttle was useful for stopping down ‘in town’ or going to Denali National Park.

mixed results, both good and not good
This hotel has pluses and minuses. Pluses are friendly staff, comfortable clean room, restaurant, bistro and bar on-site. Decent views of mountains but not Denali. Minuses are checkout time of 10:00 am with staff promptly knocking at 9:59, balcony for our building 10 is view of neighboring building that is very close, people on neighboring balcony or walking path having loud conversations both early and late, very limited parking, trek from parking lot to room that is on uneven surfaces, not covered and can be quite a distance with heavy luggage. No elevators if staying in upper room. Restaurant on site that was closed for breakfast at 10 am and cafe on site that was open at 10 but served no breakfast items other than coffee. The same restaurant for dinner was very good.

The property is one of the closest to the Denali entrance with an hourly shuttle to Denali you can walk to Denali, takes about an hour to reach the visitor center There is a small strip of shops near the hotel but need to walk down a steep hill to get there
