Xingmin, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

It is approximately a 10 minute walk down to town. They do offer shuttle drop off and pickup also. The Mountaineer Grill & Bar at the Bluffs has excellent food, drinks, and service. It was a pleasant stay.
Donna, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Convenient for Denali Park. Food options are limited in the Denali Park area.
Anurag, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent view of the Denali Park. Hotel staffs are very helpful and friendly. The cafe and pub within the campus offer great food options. The grocery store is within walking distance.
BRIAN, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Possibly the most convenient lodging location to visit Denali National park. Has all the amenities to rest and relax at the end of the day
Ajay Sudarshan, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Very clean, wonderful staff the rooms were nice.
JoDee, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Was pleasantly surprised by the modern rooms and extremely clean as well. Breakfast choices were limited and all were premade. Had a great restaurant and bar with music and Mountain View for dinner. Ate at Princess Hotel across the street several times for breakfast buffet, lunch, and dinner. Shuttle was very convenient to Denali Visitor Center and to the “downtown” area of gift shops and a few small restaurants.
Judy, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great lodge. Very clean, modern while providing an excellent lodge experience. Live music and good overall food choices. Staff was mostly nice (a couple of not nice people too). Our room had gorgeous views . We loved it!
Grace, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location! No cars on the property, but hills and rough paths making accessibility difficult.
Kathleen, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Nice new modern lodge up in the hill just up the road from Denali Park entrance. The Denali Park tour bus picked us up right at the front door, so this is a very convenient place. There is an on-site bar and Grill as well as a convenience store. It’s about a mile from other dining options, but we did not explore those. We were here for one night and the next morning took the bus tour into the park And then went home.
Richard, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

If you are in a big group, you may get service. Staying independent has no service. Staff is limited.
Atul, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very accommodating. Staff very friendly.Beds comfortable. We lost electricity so they handed out lanterns for your room. They also kept bar and grill open and serverd soup and salad.
Janice, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Staff was great, very helpful and ready to assist with anything you need. Room was clean, beds were comfortable. The restaurant on the property is quite tasty but way over-priced. But when you're tired and it's late, it sure comes in handy. The only area for improvement would be the laundry room was slightly dirty -- from people not picking up after themselves and the smell from the septic system seemed to flare up every now and again. The property itself is lovely. I would recommend.
Jean, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Kate at the front desk was awesome. She came and picked us up at the property across the street. She was super helpful with things to do around Denali. Ava at the bar was great. Overall the Denali Bluffs property was everything it needed to be.
John, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Bathroom was pathetic. Exhaust fan didn't work, bathroom lock doesn't work, commode was old and dirty. TV in the room was very old; picture quality was very bad. Not worth it.
Partha, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staff was just wonderful…I had a small glitch with my reservation but there were no problems, only solutions. My first time to Denali, so I had a lot of questions…and they all had great answers. Wonderful place. Stay in building 26! Best views in a property with generally great views.
Maura, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Not sure how to answer, we were only there one night. Slept well.
Robert, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Very expensive for solo person in a very basic room with no breakfast included and limited paid options in cafe for breakfast. No restaurant operational on site so had to walk to village for dinner, totally booked out everywhere. Free shuttle bus was a good addition.
christine, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

Alex and Lydia were awesome at the bar and restaurant. We did not get maid service. Check-in was great. We did not get a view.
Jill, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

It was a convenient location with a clean room. It is showing it's age and the comfort level for the price was not what I would expect. It is Alaska though.
Charles, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Couldn't make it to property due to fires. No one answered phones and no way to leave a message. I tried to communicate through Expedia, but no response.
James, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Comfortable rooms with good hot water. Food options both for breakfast and dinner were expensive and eminently forgettable - walk down to the Denali Downtown area to eat. Front desk staff were a mix of friendly and helpful to surly and unhelpful. Shuttle bus driver slept in, meaning we missed out tour bus. On reflection, we would not stay here again, although Denali as a whole is an expensive and disappointing tourist trap.
