The buffet breakfast was plentiful, the service was excellent, and the front desk staff were warm and attentive. Mr. Ron, the typical front desk receptionist, was very helpful, kind, and patiently explained the various tourist attractions. Our stay was excellent value for money.

Great location away from the bustle of downtown. So peaceful and quiet, yet a walk or drive to town. Beautiful views, I slept with the shades open so I could enjoy the view from the minute I opened my eyes to the minute I closed them at the end of the day.

We enjoyed our stay here. The room was wonderful but a little difficult walking to our room as it was uphill and a bit of a walk back and forth. I'm not really familiar with what the amenities were but they have a laundry room and restaurant and coffee/cafe on site. We only ate ate the resta

The location of the hotel was excellent. It was especially helpful that the Denali tundra wilderness tour picks up at the hotel. The star of the show of this hotel is the staff. Everyone we interacted with from bell service, to the restaurant, waitress, the receptionist and the manager were all excellent! So very friendly!!!

We loved the Denali Bluffs hotel, from the time we were picked up at the rail depot, the staff and the ride to the hotel everything was wonderful. I loved the room and the view however the bathroom sink was very clogged and that was gross but we were there for a night so i just let it go. Otherwise the room and the hotel location was awesome i would love to come back to stay here again.

Great staff, beautiful hotel. One great feature was that I was traveling by train and when I got on in Anchorage, they asked me what hotel in Denali and my bags were automatically sent to the hotel and direct to my room so I didn’t have to bother with my bags which was a great convenience. All of the staff were very helpful and super friendly.
