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.

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.

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!

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.

If you are in a big group, you may get service. Staying independent has no service. Staff is limited.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
