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

$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.

Stayed here while dipnetting. Excellent location. Great value. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable. Check in/out was very easy. The only thing was the bathroom door handle was installed backwards and my kids thought it was hilarious to lock me in the bathroom. 😂 10/10 would stay here again.

Room was clean, hotel was quiet. Bed was ok, had a 3" foam matress pad which helped, but there was an obvious pit in the mattress. Could improve the room lighting as just 3 table lamps. No desk personnel, given codes to enter hotel and room but no problem getting in. Grocery store nearby.
