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.
