    Booked excursions through hotel but ATV tour never showed up. Kids were so sad and whole day got wasted because of them

    We stay at a different hotel, The Denali Bluffs Hotel. Check-in was very long and there was only one person checking everyone in. The food was pricey and was served cold. The rooms were clean and nice. The views were great from the patio.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Very clean rooms and friendly staff

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Staff friendly. Could not stay at Grande Denali Lodge since they had no water. We were automatically transferred to Denali Bluffs, a sister lodge. We should have been notified of this ASAP in order for us the have the option to rebook of a place of our choice. The first night the entire lodge had no hot water. The bathrooms in the main lodge were not working. There were many other things not working or were not available. Staff did their best and I felt bad for them.

    Good service and location.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Grand denali lodge wasn't open. We were put in their sister hotel Grand Denali Bluff To have actually stayed in the hotel we paid to stay in

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Hot water was a bit of an issue but as it was the start of season, understandable. The first night it was lukewarm and the second none at all, but the heater kept the room perfectly warm so a quick cold shower wasn’t a problem

    Restaurant breakfast buffet was highway robbery Lamp USB connections didn't work.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    The location was convenient to the park. The buffet breakfast was very good. Thee rooms were very translucent. You could hear conversations and water running from the other rooms.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Our room was comfortable ... but the room was a very long walk from the lobby. Breakfast in the dining room was very expensive for a buffet where almost nothing was left.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Location was beautiful We were near the end near the septic tank and it stunk bad!! Only breakfast option was the $33 buffet.

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    Great location. Wonderful restaurant and bar with gorgeous view.

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    We had a great stay at the Grande Denali Lodge. Rooms were clean and comfortable and warm for September. We ate dinner one night at the lodge as they were getting ready to close for the season. Pricey, but the food was good. We didn't use it again because of end of season, but the coffee bar and snack station seemed like they would be helpful for stocking up for a day in Denali. The location was fantastic! Five minutes from the park entrance and right by food and shops outside the park. We had a car which made it very accessible. It can be noisy in the rooms. The doors aren't flush with the frame, and you can hear everything in the hallway. We were there at the very end of the season, so it wasn't too bad but can imagine it would be noisy in high season. Food is good but expensive at the lodge, even for the area.

    The room was spacious and the location was absolutely stunning. 2-5 mins from gift stores and eating places and 10 mins from the Denali National Park. We stayed there during 09/17-09/18 and it was one of the last days that they were open for the season. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. They allowed us to borrow their bear spray for free. They even asked if we'd like to be on the call list for the Auroras and then gave us a call around 3am to view the Auroras in the lobby. Room was well kept and had all the amenities. We opted for 2 queen size beds and it was very comfortable. Limited Parking space. Road uphill is unpaved but there are mirrors are the turns to check for oncoming vehicles so it's not a deal breaker.

    Spectacular views of Denali right from our room. There were fire pits to sit at outside, the restaurant was lovely and delicious, the bus transports to the city (very mini with a few shops and restaurants) and to the train station/visitor center. Lovely overall!

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    Great location for access to Denali National Park. The room and bed were comfortable, and there is a restaurant and grab 'n go market were we purchased breakfast items to eat in our room. Shuttles for the Denali bus tour pick you up right at the hotel. A little pricey for what you get, but you can't beat the location - the view from the outdoor deck was beautiful, especially in September with the fall colors.

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    Location and ease of check in. A little corporate feeling, not super cozy.

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    Good but pretty pricy Needs an upgrade carpets dirty elevators out of service ice machines out of service

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    The scenery was terrific - beautiful fall colors Because it was end of season everything was closed - hotel restraint was closed while we were there and only food available was from grab and go - only 2 excursions were offered and one of them was at night

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    Awesome. Best views. And service beyond description. Excellent
