    Getting back and forth form the car to the room with luggage is a chore for a senior. If you are young this would not be a problem.

    Not disappointed.

    The traffic noise from the highway below the hotel. This is THE ONLY road between Anchorage & Fairbanks, so ALL cars & trucks use it! Don’t know if units farther back on the property are quieter in this regard. Earplugs definitely helped. The food is decent. As the website said, they are in RURAL Alaska, and things do not get there quickly. The restaurant was good for breakfast & dinner; but other hotels, and some small restaurants are within a few minutes walk also have good dining rooms. The two “ grocery” stores have mostly grab & go stuff. Since Denali Bluffs rooms do NOT have microwaves, this limits you to fridge foods. All in all we were fine food wise; but, it took some planning, $$, and walking.

    The view, comfortable room, quiet, very clean rom and property. The shuttle service from hotel into Denali was excellent. So glad we were at Denali Bluffs, as the bus stopped there first then went up the hill to the Grand Denali hotel; but often there was no room in the 9:30 am shuttle for those folks. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We also loved their tradition of celebrating Christmas on Aug. 25-didn’t know it’s a National Parks tradition! There’s a reason! The season ends around September 15, so late season folks may see a bit less staff/supplies? Also be prepared to walk at the property & in the small shopping/tourist area.

    Stayed lower floor. A lot of noise from the room above even they just walk around the room.

    The easiest location to and from Denali national park with sufficient shuttles.

    Prices and lack of variety in food on site My bag was missing for 2 hours. When it was delivered to me the handle was broken. The body wash dispenser was empty. One of the knobs on the armoire came off as the screw was stripped. Very noisy when the bus/cruise people arrived after 10 pm. Upstairs people were very loud as was the rooms next to me. I could hear their conversations.

    The shuttle. The bed was very comfortable.

    right above alcan highway, no effort went into sound deadening. very noisy with trucks going by for hours. the food situation way over priced, no choices but hamburger and fish and chips. the little cafeteria only open partial hours and sandwiches dry and uninviting. everything looked sorry

    room was nice, heating and cooling effective, but too noisy. view nice

    The food options in the hotel, as well as the surrounding area were sparse. Admittedly there are supply issues during Covid, but it’s something to be aware of.

    The location was good and accessible to the park.
