Nice location decent hotel, comfortable beds…read more My sons and I were on a couple of day fishing trip, I found this place online. I like the location, decent interiors relatively clean with new decor. Beds were comfortable, the room was pretty clean. They left someone's old dirty face rag in the shower, gross. Seems like they are overly paranoid about wasting electricity as every plug for every appliance was unplugged. Just an observation. New tv new furniture, new carpet, an a+ on those thoughts. Either the bathroom counter has a stain on it or they forgot to clean the counter properly. Had a nice little fridge, a microwave as well, staff was helpful and accommodating, all and all a nice, safe, decently clean place to stay, give it a shot.

We ran out of TP on the 4th morning & it's not because I didn't ask…read more If you didn't have a sense of smell, low cleaning standards, & are willing to fend for yourself. Stay here. The smell was so bad that my teenage boys commented on it. It was tolerable after I Lysol bombed the place & left the doors & windows oprn for a few hours. The place was kind of clean if you don't consider the stained, thread bear & or patched linens, or the fact that only the high traffic areas were "cleaned". Even after asking our room was not serviced in 4 days. I at least know they had a vacuum cuz it didn't move from the hall way. As for the service, once you manage to find somebody to check in, you're on your own. The location is the only good thing about this place. I tried to find new lodging but nothing was available.

Lots of parking. We stayed in a dog friendly room, on the end. They provided a dog dish and some dog treats! There are some trails behind the hotel that I was able to walk my dog down, he seemed to enjoy them. They offer a "continental" breakfast... it was some cereal and coffee/juice. But, I'm not complaining, I enjoyed the rare lucky charms indulging!

So much quieter than the first place even though it's literally across the street from the airport. Very clean, staff is beyond friendly. The second time I didn't even think about staying elsewhere. Comfy beds, great location, and again, quiet! For me, it's like a home away from home!

So this place is just what you expect to find in Alaska. And what's cool about it is there is a…read morevariety of services available to fit your budget, whether you want to rent a fancy cabin, an RV hook up, or dry tent spot. Its a stone's throw from the river, which makes this popular with locals when the fish are running and the banks are swamped. The RV hook up sites are fancy and even have a dog park and fancy picnic tables. The dry tent sites have chemical toilets and a mix of wooded and open camp sites, depending on your anxiety about animals. This place is a little tricky to find, just look for the airport- its directly BEHIND IT. It runs parallel and has an entrance at either end.

The beds were comfortable, the heaters kept the temp nice at night, the showers were very hot which was great after being in the river all day. When not fishing we basically would just relax on the porch of our cabin. In provided chairs, or just hang out at the fire pit. The firepit area was very clean and they have wood there for making the fire. The fish cleaning area is nice, but the real hookup is to just pay them to clean, pack and freeze all your fish. They have commercial equipment for processing the fish. Most of the fishing when we were there was about 30 minutes north to coopers landing or 40 min south to the Kasilof river. But if you go when the reds are running up the kenai, you could walk about 5 minutes right down to the water and fish: The lodge has pretty much anything you need within 15 min drive. Some things are just a couple minutes away, but 15 and you could get about anything you're looking for. Steve the owner, was great and had a ton of local knowledge on where to fish each day. He also knew various guides and could help lining them up. We had a great time! If your looking for the Ritz Carlton then probably not your speed, but if your looking for a cozy cabin to clean up in and sleep and be close to the fish, this is a great spot.

TL;DR BEWARE! Stay away from Alaska Redfish Lodge and do not…read moreconduct any business with the owner Steven F Stuber. The place is messy, unorganized. The lodge is quite a 10 min walk to the river. The common area had flies and smelled like dead fish. Steven is an emotionally unstable person ready to snap at any moment. Full Story: We booked two nights stay for 2 adults, 2 kids, and 1 infant on Friday evening to go to Sterling for some fishing on a weekend Saturday-Monday. Our full booking price was about $320 ($129 per night plus fees) which we thought was odd as the Airbnb calendar showed $89. Anyway, we booked it and got all the confirmation information. Approximately at 1 AM we get an email from Steven the owner saying he is fully booked and unable to honor the reservation. We called Steven in the morning to clear things up as the reservation was already confirmed. He started blaming Airbnb for not honoring the blocked out dates saying this happens once in a while and there is no way he can give us a cabin on these dates and that he didn't want to lose his "Super host" status on Airbnb. We asked to cancel, he convinced us to continue with the reservation and that we would get a good deal. I had a bad feeling about it but felt bad for him and agreed to his offer. We moved the dates from Saturday to Sunday-Tuesday. It was inconvenient for us as kids are in school but we said we can manage and adjust our schedule. He asked us to move our date to just one night and refund the difference, in his system he would block out two nights for us. Our new total was going to be $94 for two nights. Not bad. He was very friendly on the phone and kept reiterating that he is willing to go far and beyond to make us whole. He also stated that he usually does not let five people stay and is willing to make an exception for us. This was very odd as we put five people in AirBnB and did not conceal the baby. I told him I am planning to do a lot of fishing. He said he will give me all the gear and even upgrade us to a bigger cabin that has a full-size refrigerator, and a loft area. We were excited! We get there on Sunday at 3:50 PM, check-in was at 3. The lovely cleaning lady which is potentially his wife, not sure, asked us if we were checking in. She said that we are staying in cabin 7 and that it was not ready for us. We thought that was odd as I expected that Steven would make our experience great as he promised. We said we can wait 30 minutes for the room to be cleaned up. I called Steven just in case he had told me that we are staying in cabin 8 and that he would make it to the property at ~5:30. We go to the cabin the lady said the keys were inside, I spend five minutes looking for the key, could not find it. She said she can bring it to us and she did. I started looking for the wifi password, could not find it anywhere on the wall. The lady did not know the password. I had to text Steven and he gave it to me over text. I thought it was odd that it's not printed in most normal places. There was no welcome package or welcome tour at all. Oh well. The wifi did not work inside cabin 8 but did barely work right outside. The TV did not have Netflix or cable even though it was connected. The knives in the kitchen were dirty, otherwise, the room was decent. It was NOT the room that Steven had promised us that had a loft with a full-size fridge, but I did not bother to call him as he seemed to be in a bad mood. We went to the playground, it had a very strong smell of pigsty as there was one behind it, the common area had a full trashcan of beercans and the fire pit was all covered in flies. It was pretty disgusting. I did a little fishing and we came back. I made a mental note that the experience so far was a bit odd. No welcoming, confusion with the keys, no wifi password printed, no TV and smelly, and dirty common area. Steven had returned at this point but did not bother to greet us. We did not feel welcome at all. I asked the lady if she can call Steven over as I had questions around processing my fish. She said he was upstairs but did not want to call him over. I thought it was odd, she instructed us to call him on his cell instead. He came out, I had asked him to use the coolers as he promised he said I could. He had combative body language but was answering all my questions. He told me to process the fish and leave it on the cooler pointing to it. He had instructed me to write my name on it and leave the tag. I did, he IMMEDIATELY said "What are you doing?!" is this your cooler?! I said it's empty and you pointed to it, he goes oh ok I wanted to make sure it was not someone else's.
