The view from our room (upper floor) of the river and the fishing people was good (early September). This would be an excellent place for a multi-day fishing trip. Room was clean, bed comfortable, bathroom fine. The town has pretty much everything you would need.

This was our first time in Alaska. We came there to mostly fish the availability of the freezers and the room they had to store your fishing was fantastic. The staff was very friendly and always asked how they could help us.

While the outside looks worn the rooms are very nice. The rooms are clean and the beds are also comfortable. For fishermen there is easy access to the Kenai river with cleaning stations if you get lucky.

Beautiful location, comfortable rooms, but unstable wifi, but I assume business travelers are not their main target audience. Highly recommend if you are in Soldotna.

I absolutely loved the view from our room. We had a huge window that looked straight out over the river. Also, those windows had blackout shades. So the Alaskan summer can be turned off when it is time to sleep. The room was clean and comfortable. The property was well maintained. The staff was very nice and helpful. Check-in, checkout was very easy.
