    cozy beds
    great view

    Had a great view from our room's deck, very relaxing to sit out there after a long day. The beds were cozy, just what we needed for some rest, and they had a shuttle that really helped us get around since Denali can be a bit tough without wheels.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but still, it felt acceptable for what we got.

    great views and easy access to denali’s beauty

    I loved enjoying gorgeous views from the lobby balcony and the short stroll to nearby Horseshoe Lake, making it perfect for city walks and nature adventures. the staff were also super friendly which made my stay really pleasant, but parking was a bit of a hassle as we had to park down the hill.

    Disappointing Stay with Room for Improvement

    Our stay was marked by cold showers and noisy late-night guests. The room had a dusty view, making relaxation difficult. Dining experience was subpar. the food quality was far from acceptable. If you decide to stay here, consider dining elsewhere to save your taste buds.

    nice views
    overall atmosphere
    room cleanliness
    overpriced buffet
    unreliable shuttle

    The location of Denali Bluffs is fantastic, just a short walk to the visitor center and convenient for bus pickups. The reception staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist. I really liked the spacious balcony that came with my standard room, making it nice to relax and enjoy the scenery. However, the room cleanliness left a lot to be desired. There were issues with the towels being rough and not very clean. The breakfast buffet was decent but felt overpriced at $29. I expected more variety, especially for those with dietary restrictions. One major inconvenience was the unreliable shuttle service, especially during peak times. I had to wait too long at times, making my plans a bit hectic. Overall, I appreciated the ambiance and the cleanliness of the cabins, but better food options and room maintenance would really enhance the experience.

    sun terrace

    The room was cozy, and I loved the relaxing sun terrace with comfy lounge chairs and stunning views. After a long day of exploring, unwinding in the hot tub was a nice touch. Just a heads up, the bathroom was a bit cramped, but it didn't ruin my overall good vibes! 😊

    convenient dining
    shuttle confusion

    The Denali Bluffs featured stunning views and a serene atmosphere that added greatly to my business stay. The staff, despite being new and in training, were helpful in addressing my needs promptly. The location is perfect for accessing Denali's natural wonders. The restaurant offered a solid variety of meals at reasonable prices considering the area, which made dining convenient during my visit.

    Some staff training issues were apparent.

    parking problems

    The view from our room was amazing, really capturing the beauty of the mountains. The balcony made it even better. The room itself was clean and comfortable, with nice furnishings. The staff were friendly, which made our stay more enjoyable. We appreciated the free shuttle service to Denali National Park. it was convenient, though it did have a gap in the afternoon. We also found some good dining options nearby, like the Moose-aka and Denali Doghouse, both within walking distance. On the downside, the shuttle service runs only once an hour, and we had a two-hour gap that required us to wait. Housekeeping could have been more consistent. we noticed they didn’t come back to clean on one occasion. Also, the grab-and-go breakfast was decent but could use more variety. Parking at the hotel could get tricky since the lot filled up quickly. Overall, we had a good time, but some operational issues need attention.

    Stunning views and comfortable stay

    Enveloped in breathtaking natural beauty, my stay was both serene and comfortable. The room was well-furnished, and the views of the surrounding mountains were absolutely spectacular from the balcony. The friendly staff made my visit even more enjoyable, always ready to help with recommendations. However, the shuttle service to the park could use clearer scheduling to avoid long waits.

    outdoor activities
    cramped room

    We had a great time with friends exploring the nearby Denali National Park and river rafting. The location is perfect for outdoor activities and you can easily join excursions. The friendly staff made our stay even better. Just a heads-up, dining can get pricey, but there are options around.

    Our room was a bit cramped, making it tough to move around comfortably with our luggage.

    stunning views
    hiking trails
    immediate access
    inconsistent hot water

    The views from the balconies offer stunning forest scenery, making for a picturesque backdrop to your stay. Trails for hiking begin conveniently at the hotel, allowing immediate access to the rugged beauty of the area.

    At $400 per night, reliable hot water in the showers should be a given, yet cold showers marred my second morning. Additionally, the constant highway noise from traffic below was a significant nuisance, and bedrooms would benefit from better soundproofing. Without microwaves in the rooms, food options are limited to fridge-friendly items, which can be a hassle, especially considering the nearby dining establishments tend to be on the pricey side. Also, housekeeping appears to be minimal or available on request, which left us dealing with unemptied trash after two days. As for shuttle services, they only run once an hour and can be a gamble during peak times.

    housekeeping issues

    I really enjoyed my stay at Denali Bluffs. The views from my room were stunning, especially from the balcony. The room felt clean and was nicely furnished, creating a comfortable atmosphere. The location proved to be ideal for exploring Denali National Park, with easy access to shuttle services and nearby dining options. The on-site restaurant offered decent meals at reasonable prices. However, housekeeping only came upon request, which was inconvenient for staying multiple nights. I would have appreciated daily coffee replenishment or trash removal. The nearby traffic noise was a bit of a distraction at times. All in all, I appreciated the hospitality and amenities, but some finer details could be improved.
