This is a beautiful property with a balcony, fireplace and large room layout. The hotel is very close to Kenai river and had a great walking trail with little river viewing areas to enjoy. The only downside was no WiFi in the rooms.

The staff was very friendly with quick check in.
The room itself is a bit dated, but clean.
Very nice resort with beautiful surroundings.
It wasn’t very quiet. It was a duplex and the heating from our neighbors was very loud.

Beautiful rooms in a wonderful setting. The long walking distances and stairs to get around were limiting for my handicapped wife. Otherwise, a very pleasant stay.

When we first booked, did not realize it was tied to cruise line and their ‘land tours’. This was the 3rd one we stayed at on our trip. Rooms were nice and very large. Very cool that they have wood burning fire places and supply wood. Only drawback is no fridges.
Resort seemed to have lots of walking paths and had outside games and nice patio overlooking river.
Our family enjoys walking - was quite a hill climb to get to our room.

Serene, quiet. Would visit again. Staff were friendly, helpful. Room could've been cleaned while we were out. On one hand, they may have assumed that since we didn't need service the day prior we wouldn't the next day. On the other hand, we could've requested too or brought to their attention lack of room service. Otherwise, totally recommend.
