Loved our view from room 2629. The room was spacious and had a great view. Only thing is you can’t park near your building, but they have a golf cart to take you and your luggage to your room. It’s stairs only if you are on the second floor. But would definitely stay here again.

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.

I had my expectations low considering it’s a hillside hotel even though it was $400/night. The room was very average with limited towels and awful soaps. The towel bar was broken and when I called front desk no one answered. We spend two nights and the rooms were not cleaned. My husband was upset at the rough blankets and bedsheets and the super loud heating system. I am shocked this hotel has good reviews. I do not recommend this hotel for this price. It was load as you can hear people walk above and talk Nextdoor.

We stayed 2 nights at Denali Bluffs hotel. The 1st night the alarm went off in the middle of the night, a little thing but startled me. No hot water in the room. The TV and frig were on the dresser top so no place to pack and unpack. The room decor is tired and old looking, like garage sale furniture.
I may have missed it in the info, but the rooms are pedestrian access only. Fortunately, there are golf carts and drivers to help with that. I stayed in a room farthest from the ice machine so I utilized a ride there.
The rooms do not seem sound proofed at all, heard everybody and everything. I expected more for $400 a night but, hey, location, location, location. NOTE: the service people were generally pleasant and helpful (albeit undertrained for the season) and this is an OWNERSHIP PROBLEM. Seems they put the minimal amount into the experience and it's obvious. Greedy.

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.
