Arriving by train and having check-in combined with the shuttle ride up to the hotel was super slick. My room was giant, had a great view, and was clean and comfy. Only downside: the shuttle into the park took forever, and I ended up walking instead most of the time. If you aren't there as part of a cruise/tour, just be prepared for most of the guests to be cruise ship people.

Very nice hotel room relatively close to Denali. Outside propane fire pit did not work. When staff was asked about this we were told they were out of propane and probably wouldn’t be getting any more as the end of the season was approaching. We felt that if we paid the same as earlier summer guests we should have the same amenities. Otherwise it was a good stay and would stay again.

Cozy and Close Park Access
Clean and comfortable. This stay fit out needs well. You can hear a little noise from the floor above but not much. There is a restaurant on site with a nice view - menu is small and prices are tourist prices, but it fit out needs and food was good. The bathroom is a little snug, but overall nice and for our needs. Location is hard to beat for park access. The little balcony was nice for coffee in the morning.

Rooms are tiny, beds are quite uncomfortable and there’s not much space to open bags/store stuff. Despite location views from room are terrible - just overlook other rooms instead of outdoors. There are some convenient food options - esp grab and go early in the morning and they have a shuttle service to the park.

There were 4 used towels left in our room when we checked in. 2 were in the bathroom and 2 behind the TV. The food at the mountaineer grill was good.

The overall condition of Denali Bluffs was great. Although our room (and the bathroom!) reeked of smoke. Fortunately they moved us to another room. Parking was a bit of a walk to the rooms. And the shuttle was useful for stopping down ‘in town’ or going to Denali National Park.

mixed results, both good and not good
This hotel has pluses and minuses. Pluses are friendly staff, comfortable clean room, restaurant, bistro and bar on-site. Decent views of mountains but not Denali. Minuses are checkout time of 10:00 am with staff promptly knocking at 9:59, balcony for our building 10 is view of neighboring building that is very close, people on neighboring balcony or walking path having loud conversations both early and late, very limited parking, trek from parking lot to room that is on uneven surfaces, not covered and can be quite a distance with heavy luggage. No elevators if staying in upper room. Restaurant on site that was closed for breakfast at 10 am and cafe on site that was open at 10 but served no breakfast items other than coffee. The same restaurant for dinner was very good.

The property is one of the closest to the Denali entrance with an hourly shuttle to Denali you can walk to Denali, takes about an hour to reach the visitor center There is a small strip of shops near the hotel but need to walk down a steep hill to get there

No sinage directing us from train to shuttle. Our shuttle was at the far end of the parking area of many busses. There was a sign on dashboard of very large bus. It might not have been used because it was pretty windy.

Very close to the park which was a plus. It was fine place to stay but given the price I was disappointed. The room was basic. We walked to a number of other resorts which had better amenities on site (i.e. sitting room in lobby and outdoors, scenic views etc.) Overall, just okay.

Worth the price
Everything in Denali is going to be pricy. We just planned on it. We got the deluxe roo because it was updated and offered a better view. Shops and restaurants are all walking distance.
