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.

Nice clean rooms. Access to room was a downhill gravel driveway, would be nice if paved. Would be nice to have an onsite restaurant for lunch. Coffee to-go shop coffee was terrible, could use improvement. Not a great selection of snacks to go. It would be nice if they paved the while road going up to the resort

Room was mediocre and property was not as advertised. The lack of parking prevented us from driving our vehicle to go to dinner as there wouldn’t be any room to park when we returned. Road to the property was horrible and nothing in advertising has prepared us. Staff was not friendly. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone.
