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!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room was nice. Not worth the money we paid but decent. Bed was okay, but a king needs more than 3 pillows. So, this property is up on a hill and not a part of Denali village like we thought. They offer shuttle service I think but we just used our car. Parking up top is limited, maybe 10 spots. They have overflow about 100 yards down the hill which isn't great late at night. Also, while they will help you get your bags to your room, we chose to do it ourselves. Depending on the building you end up in, this could be a pretty good walk with heavy bags. Luckily the weather wasn't bad while we were there. Just disappointed considering how much the property cost us for two nights.

The room was fine. The bedspread was dirty. The cafe was minimal. The front desk were ver personable on check in day. The next day was not as pleasant. We were concerned about staying the 3rd night because of snow on roads. The staff member was not understanding and told us to enjoy where we were. We had been enjoying Denali very much, so this felt rude. We checked out a day early and are still hoping that we will be reimbursed for the third night since we left due to weather.
