We spent 3 nights here in the summer of 2012 and were more than impressed. the rooms were spotless and tastefully appointed, the linen and towels were first class and the staff were brilliant. We ate at the restaurant there on 2 of the 3 nights due to getting back so late from the Park, they still take orders right... More

We booked this hotel online for 3 nights as a base to spend some time in Denali National Park and it served its purpose well. The rooms were basic but adequate although the hand basin was located in the bedroom and not the bathroom. A shuttle service provided by this and a sister hotel provided easy transport to downtown Denali... More

Thank you for your review. I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but the Denali Bluffs Hotel and our sister property the Grande Denali Lodge are Alaska native owned by Old Harbor Native Corporation. We are excited to announce that they have brought operations in-house and we are now under new management. Another exciting change is that the... More

We stayed here for two nights on a package tour which included breakfast. There were three of us travelling together and two of us had to share a double bed. The hand basin was in the main room, not the bathroom - but we found that this arrangement was common in Alaska. There were coffee and tea making equipment in... More

There is nothing better than to see a review where you can tell that the guest got out and enjoyed what coming to Alaska and the Denali Bluffs is all about, Nature! Describing us as, Alaskan, is right on. We are positioned for beautiful views and a true Alaskan experience. The one thing we want everyone to know is that... More

I booked this hotel through a online travel site along w/ my hotel in Fairbanks. However, the site was very slow and messed up the date for Fairbanks. When I canceled the wrong Fairbanks reservation, it indeed canceled my reservation of Bluffs! I tried to book it through the website again, it could not! I was in a panic since... More

I know in real estate that it is all about location, location, location; however, not even the beautiful scenery of Alaska could overcome the service and attitude of the staff. When we we first arrived the parking space at the main office level is very limited. We had to park some 150+ yards away down the hill. There was staff... More

We stayed at Denali Bluffs hotel for two night (7th and 8th Sep) as part of a package through Alaska Tour and Travel. Quiet, clean,friendly staff, comfortable beds and a 10 minute walk on a reasonable uphill/downhill road to a wide range of eateries. A nice base for our Denali trip to Kantishna.

We used the Alaska Toursaver to get our 3rd night free at Denali Bluffs, so this review is based on the fact that the hotel became more reasonably priced at $152/night for 4 people. Once we arrived at the train station, we were immediately directed to the hotel shuttle. We didn't have to worry about our luggage since they were... More

Their rooms are four or five to a building, kind of the open concept. You can see off down into the valley, very pretty in the fall with all the colors. The room had two large beds so we used one for your suitcase rack. They are not huge rooms but adequate. Our room was clean and neat. Everything worked... More

What's not to like. You get a nice, clean room, a restaurant on site for your food service, and a frequent shuttle that takes you right to shopping and dining choices if you don't want to walk down the hill and back. We walked down and caught the shuttle to come back up. Also a plus was that we had... More
