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.

Most comfortable bed/linens! Hiking trails nearby that do not require accessing the Park. Bathroom/tub room and sink areas small by most hotel standards. Good onsite dinner restaurant. Separate breakfast area had meager offerings.

Excellent view of the Denali Park. Hotel staffs are very helpful and friendly. The cafe and pub within the campus offer great food options. The grocery store is within walking distance.
