The Bluffs is a beautiful hotel located next the park! So convenient! Beautifully decorated & updated cabin like rooms. Very spacious rooms with AC or heat. Very comfortable beds, linens, pillows, towels. Spacious bathrooms with great water pressure. Breakfast restaurant is a plus! Loved our stay here!

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

8/10 Very good

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.

Beautiful location. The shuttle was very helpful. The main lodge was a comfortable place to relax. The dining in the mountaineer grill was excellent.

Kimberly, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a wonderful hotel in a great location for exploring Denali National Park. Beautiful views, great staff, and close to the (small) downtown. My only complaint would be the strict 10am checkout, as we had most of the day remaining, but they did hold our bags. I'd definitely recommend staying here.
Ashleigh, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
marlene, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Andrew, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved this hotel! The staff were all very friendly and helpful. It was very clean and simply beautiful. Their grill is great as is the cafe. It is convenient to the park and shopping. I definitely recommend Denali Bluffs Hotel. We will definitely be staying their again.
Deborah, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Really nice place to stay in Denali

Great place to stay, great service. FYI the restaurant inside the hotel is not as good as it should be, dinner menu mostly Tex Mex and Southern food, if you coming from Texas will be a bit disappointed, I was expecting more traditional food from Alaska. For food is better to walk to the Princess Lounge; however the hotel as hotel is really nice
Jose, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff is nice and friendly. Location great - 10 minutes drive to Denali Bus Depot. A much better value than Grand Denali as there are inexpensive food options in pantry and not the noise from tour busses unloading and loading like the Grand Denali.
JEFF, 3-night trip

This is a wonderful place overlooking Denali Park. It is laid out in rows of smaller buildings with multiple rooms.
