Amazing stay!

Wonderful place to stay! Our room was very large with a table/chairs, sitting area, wood burning stove, and king bed (which was very comfy). It also had a private balcony off the room! Front desk staff was great, the restaurant had delicious food and drink (it was nice eating on the back deck overlooking the mountains), and there was a nice walking trial down to the river. If guests didn't feel like walking back up the big hill they could call the front desk and have the hotel van come and get them. This was also the only hotel we stayed at in Alaska that had recycling bins around the main building and in the rooms. We also enjoyed the jigsaw puzzle in the lobby and spent a few hours working on it.

This is a beautiful property with a balcony, fireplace and large room layout. The hotel is very close to Kenai river and had a great walking trail with little river viewing areas to enjoy. The only downside was no WiFi in the rooms.

The staff was very friendly with quick check in. The room itself is a bit dated, but clean. Very nice resort with beautiful surroundings. It wasn’t very quiet. It was a duplex and the heating from our neighbors was very loud.
