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.

The hotel room had a large stain in the middle of it and the shower head was old and corroded. I was traveling by myself and didn’t feel comfortable at night because the room only had one lock on the front door which is opened by a metal key.
