The room has pretty basic stuff. Overall, it is neat and clean. Comfy bed, secured place. Bathroom was so basic, commode was very adjacent to the wall by the bathroom door that you will have hard time to sit on it. There was no air conditioning system or heating system!!! Overall, okay for a single night or last minute check in!

Decent property clean rooms. There is no manager onsite. Not a lot to do or see in Kenai but ok for an overnight stop.

$200 for what felt like a 1970’s property seemed REALLY expensive. A Hotel without a front desk, restaurant or staff. Unit was clean, nice size. Windows seemed broken but I was able to figure out how to open them. 6am garbage truck was a bummer.

Quaint and quirky

Quaint place in an old strip mall. Room was nice but no staff on site meant we had to text when we needed anything. Took an hour to bring us a blow dryer—which is pretty standard in rooms so not sure why there wasn’t one. Ran out of toilet paper on our final day (we were provided only one roll) and asked for more about 3 hours before we left the room but no one ever brought us any. Room was clean and comfortable though. However the drapes were mostly sheer and we tried to pull them closed as best we could but could not block out a lot of the light. You would expect better curtains to block out light in Alaska.

Clean, comfortable, and simple. The place has a Kenai charm about it. Feels more like a guesthouse than a cookie-cutter-chain hotel room.
