The view of the Kenai River alone is worth the price of the stay in this hotel, but the rate is reasonable, the staff is friendly and the bed is comfortable as well.

This is a rustic, older hotel. It is nice enough for what it is. Don't expect 5 star hotel, but it isn't run down and dirty- just older. The staff was very nice. View of Kenai River is gorgeous.
