We stayed one night here to visit Denali NP. Our room was huge and very nicely decorated. The king size bed was comfortable and the view was fantastic!! The staff were all very nice. We didn’t eat there. While it was a beautiful dining room be prepared for high prices. Instead we drove to Healy to 49th Street Brewery which was very good. Most people were on tour buses so we understand that going somewhere else is not an option. Very happy we chose Denali Bluffs Hotel!!!

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.

Very clean. Deluxe room was worth the minimal extra cost. Lovely view. Parking and bringing luggage to room not convenient. You could very easily hear the room above. Woke us up multiple times.

Hotel is ok but expensive for what it is. Happened to be there when it was hot. I understand that they don’t have air conditioning but we could not get a fan to increase airflow in the room.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room was nice. Not worth the money we paid but decent. Bed was okay, but a king needs more than 3 pillows. So, this property is up on a hill and not a part of Denali village like we thought. They offer shuttle service I think but we just used our car. Parking up top is limited, maybe 10 spots. They have overflow about 100 yards down the hill which isn't great late at night. Also, while they will help you get your bags to your room, we chose to do it ourselves. Depending on the building you end up in, this could be a pretty good walk with heavy bags. Luckily the weather wasn't bad while we were there. Just disappointed considering how much the property cost us for two nights.

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.
