No frills room with an amazing river view! Old fashioned keys which was fun. Lounge on property, but we don’t hear anything from it in our room although we could see the outdoor seating area. Would stay there again.

Nice people, older bed and furniture. .

Nice view of the river from our room. The bed and chair had seen better days, both quite tired. The bathroom was clean. Ok place to stop on way to Homer. Probably best if you are looking to fish.

Hotel looks outdated but rooms are updated except there is no ac so room was warm and a bit stuffy. View is incredible and it has great private access to the river. Loved the lounge that is part of the hotel.

This hotel is rundown, service is acceptable, it is noisy, and not very comfortable. Amenities are poor. The one good thing was the smiling face who greeted us at the desk when we checked in the first day. Other than that, I would not stay here ever again
