Beautiful property within walking distance of shops and dining. Would highly recommend if you plan to visit Denali Park. We took the train from Fairbanks to the Denali Depot, met with the representative from Denali Bluffs who gave us luggage tags and checked us in. Our luggage was taken to our room while we toured Denali Park. This entire process was seamless. The shuttle service that runs between the Park and Nenana is very convenient. We hopped on it to get to the Denali Buff after exploring the park. We hardly saw any animals and those that we glimpsed were quite far away. Looking forward to visiting the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center in Anchorage where we will see the animals up, close and personal. Do not miss dining at Prospector’s Pizzeria and Alehouse. It is always jam packed for a reason…we tried The North Face pizza and it was one of the best pizzas that we have had. The spinach salad was excellent as well.

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!!!

Check in great, room small but clean. Restaurants (1 deli grab/go and 1 regular restaurant which was very good). Only 1 ice machine and it was located on the opposite side of the campus so difficult to get to.

Bathroom was pathetic. Exhaust fan didn't work, bathroom lock doesn't work, commode was old and dirty. TV in the room was very old; picture quality was very bad. Not worth it.

Was pleasantly surprised by the modern rooms and extremely clean as well. Breakfast choices were limited and all were premade. Had a great restaurant and bar with music and Mountain View for dinner. Ate at Princess Hotel across the street several times for breakfast buffet, lunch, and dinner. Shuttle was very convenient to Denali Visitor Center and to the “downtown” area of gift shops and a few small restaurants.

It is approximately a 10 minute walk down to town. They do offer shuttle drop off and pickup also. The Mountaineer Grill & Bar at the Bluffs has excellent food, drinks, and service. It was a pleasant stay.

Staff was great, very helpful and ready to assist with anything you need. Room was clean, beds were comfortable. The restaurant on the property is quite tasty but way over-priced. But when you're tired and it's late, it sure comes in handy. The only area for improvement would be the laundry room was slightly dirty -- from people not picking up after themselves and the smell from the septic system seemed to flare up every now and again. The property itself is lovely. I would recommend.

Nice new modern lodge up in the hill just up the road from Denali Park entrance. The Denali Park tour bus picked us up right at the front door, so this is a very convenient place. There is an on-site bar and Grill as well as a convenience store. It’s about a mile from other dining options, but we did not explore those. We were here for one night and the next morning took the bus tour into the park And then went home.
