What a cute motel; very friendly. We’ve stayed at hotels all around Alaska over the past few weeks; this place is affordable and super cute! Room was cozy, very clean and had all the amenities we needed, staff was very friendly. There is a restaurant, we opted to eat at the bar next door, they share a kitchen.

Good value in Kenai

Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable. Louie's restaurant next door had good food options. Electrical was a little funky. After a power surge, the air conditioner turned itself on and blew only hot air. Thankfully, the receptionist found us a different room.

Restaurant unavailable on Mondays, and no breakfast available. It would have been nice to know beforehand. Check in took forever to verify a room ready well after check in time.
