Wonderful time!
Loved our stay! Staff was super helpful with tips on what to do in the area and super friendly. Only drag…. Was the shuttle service. Shuttles were often full. And seems each property needs its own shuttle instead of having Grande Lodge guests having to stop at the Bluffs every time.

We stayed two nights here and had a great experience. The staff was super helpful and friendly and answered all of our questions.
The room was really well kept and actually looked to be recently renovated.
This place has VIEWS!!
Also, the bus tour out of Denali will pick you up here instead of having to drive to the transportation center and park which is really convenient.
We were very happy to have chosen this property. The signs on the road up the hilll are worth the drive, lol.

Basic room updated quiet and clean, staff were very friendly and helpful. This hotel did not provide daily housekeeping. Nice views. Hotel sits on a bluff above the town, a car was helpful but transportation is available. Coffee bar in the lobby had snacks and pleasant staff. For dinner I would not recommend the onsite restaurant, food quality doesn’t match prices.

Older building but they've done a nice job trying to keep it updated.
They get bus loads of tourists so check in could be tricky.
Restaurants over priced compared to places down off the highway with less options and lower quality food so if you have a car drive two minutes away.

Information regarding the shuttle services as not clear.
I was told K2 avaition had a pickup at the hotel (not true).
Also, the bus to the railroad was a different bus (large motor coach) than the regular shuttle, with no placard telling riders this - several of us almost didn't get on because we were waiting for the smaller shuttle with the Grande Denali name on it. We thought the large motor coach was a private tour.

No laundry service, no elevator service , cable service not reliable and when I encountered about an upgrade or a view I was told it would be an additional 50$. Standard room already 260$.
Complete misrepresentation…so tell me what is the value of the dollar?
