We used this hotel for a group stay. Hotel is good overall, staff is amazing. Need to work on service in restaurant and not ideal for non-motorized wheel chairs. Prices in entire area are expensive. Rooms are clean with comfortable beds and beautiful views. Choice of continental breakfast or buffet breakfast. The food is good but a little over priced.... More

Although the rooms are rather ordinary and rather dated, the friendly staff at this place makes up for it. We were enthusiastically greeted at the train station by their shuttle driver, and enjoyed the convenience of the shuttle throughout our stay to go "downtown." It was also convenient that this spot is the starting point for the Park Connection bus... More

The highlight of this hotel is the restaurant. The dinner of barbecued pulled pork and chicken was outstanding. Second to none. Would come back just to eat. Great job, friendly staff, not overpriced. Also a great location to navigate around the park entrance.

Really enjoyed staying at the Denali Bluffs Hotel. The room was immaculate and the view of the mountains from the balcony was gorgeous. The staff cleaned the room thoroughly each day.

Denali Bluffs Hotel is a reasonably priced hotel near the entrance to Denali National Park. It has good bus service to get around the area and to the Denali Park and its tours.

Denali Bluffs is an interesting place. It has great common areas. They are well appointed and comfortable. The rooms though lack those touches. The rooms are well - just adequate.

Spent one night at this hotel. I could've had a better sleep on the floor and even that was questionable; the beds were just as hard. Mosquitoes were getting in even even with the screen door closed.
