What a great Alaskan business! It's a no frills bit solid…read more And I mean SOLID! Hotel. It seems austere from the outside and that's the motive. Nothing fancy. Only an Alaskan hotel would have an arctic entry to fit a school bus full of kids. Then the elevator. Then the cozy front desk tucked in the back away from the front door. What a great concept born from experience. Though we didn't use it. Kitchenette. Range refridge microwave sink. Plates and silverware. Etc.... Warm room. The bathroom kept up with the motife. Note room. Not less. Enough space for two people and all your elbows without bumping into each other. Older style. But very very clean. Nothing at all was worn or used looking. Quiet quiet quiet hotel. At heat for us. Dogs welcome!! Pool and jacuzzi Ohh!! BONUS Three bears grocery in the same commercial lot with a McD's and shell gas!

The hotel was pretty chill and nothing bad happened, I don't know what's with all the bad reviews…read morebecause this place is great, it had everything just like the good reviews said.

I thought the hotel was really go for what it was, a budget friendly hotel!…read more It is located right outside of Kenai airport .... you could walk to it if you are on a layover and need a place to crash! 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!

I have stayed here twice. The first time was when I needed to unexpectedly extend my stay in the…read moreKenai area and stumbled upon the hotel after staying at another hotel. 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.

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.

Be prepared to carry up your luggage if upstairs as there are no elevators. Love the different Alaskan animals that adorn the walls both going up the stairs and also in restaurant. Had an ihome alarm radio that you can set your iPhone on to charge. Small fridge they stock with Fiji waters for you. And small coffee cup sized keurig machine, with cups and creamers some sugars etc. also a microwave. Tv on wall , dial phone under it on a desk with office chair. Small round table with two seats and two separate beds same room. Basically 4 minutes away from most things in Kenai and 15 from soldotna!

We were here two nights and requested to have a quieter room so fortunately for us We were moved to a different building all together the next night. Wish we were told about this option upon check in but after everything was done the second night was in fact a good night sleep
