4/10 Fair

When we arrived the outside seemed old and not maintained. But the inside of the room seemed and smelled clean. After the first day though a musty odor showed up. No staff on premises. Big round water mark on ceiling. Not sure if it’s recent or older. I would suggest some maintenance be done prior to renting atleast that room out again.

It is definitely an older hotel and it was a bit different not having any staff on site. But the manager was fantastic and got us information right away. It was a special occasion and they went above and beyond to make the room super cute for my daughter who was attending prom. I think the most important thing is to just know that you are in an old hotel and things are not gonna be fancy and pretty basic, but it was clean and it was very quiet and we had a wonderful experience overall!!

Even though the building is old and isn’t as visually appealing as others around, the room was comfortable, warm, hot water, coffee pot, microwave, refrigerator, and there was a drive through coffee shop out front.

Enjoy it

The hotel is conveniently located and offers easy access to all areas. The room and bathroom are clean and tidy, the heating is adequate and easy to use, and the online service provided by Ms. Michelle was excellent and always helpful, clear and prompt.

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.

Unexpected value gem in Kenai. Close to shopping and movie theater. Clean and updated. I would stay here again.

$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.

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.

Quaint and quirky

Quaint place in an old strip mall. Room was nice but no staff on site meant we had to text when we needed anything. Took an hour to bring us a blow dryer—which is pretty standard in rooms so not sure why there wasn’t one. Ran out of toilet paper on our final day (we were provided only one roll) and asked for more about 3 hours before we left the room but no one ever brought us any. Room was clean and comfortable though. However the drapes were mostly sheer and we tried to pull them closed as best we could but could not block out a lot of the light. You would expect better curtains to block out light in Alaska.

Kenai area family trip.

My family and I stayed at the Kenai Inn for a two-day trip to a high school football game. Take this review with a grain of salt, but after a few days of reflection, here’s my honest impression. Upon arrival, my very first thought was of the great Eagles song “Hotel California.” Earlier that afternoon, Michelle, the hotel manager, had texted me the access codes for the front door and our room, explaining that this was a virtual check-in and to simply text when we arrived and checked out. Walking in, the place gave off a charmingly rustic 70s vibe. The quiet, empty lobby and lack of a front desk greeting added to the “Hotel California” atmosphere—no one to check us in, and, as it turned out, no other guests all weekend. Slightly eerie… but also kind of cool. Our room was on the second floor and featured two queen beds. It was surprisingly spacious and much more modern inside than I expected. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom worked just fine, and the water? Scalding hot perfection! The only hiccup came later that night—it got pretty warm, and there was no thermostat in sight. After some good old-fashioned “man skills” tinkering, I managed to crack open the window and let in that crisp Kenai air. Problem solved. Bonus perk: there’s a local coffee hut right outside. Just a fair warning—when I knocked on the window at 7 a.m. to say good morning, I nearly gave the poor barista a heart attack. All in all, if you’re looking

The room itself was clean and comfortable. Liked all the bear motifs. Very cute. The entrance to the property to get to the rooms had an overwhelming food smell(I think the building also houses a catering company?) and the stairs/carpet to get to the room seemed very old/dingy/dusty). I was just relieved the smell wasn’t detectable in the room itself.

Very clean and convenient motel with helpful and responsive staff. It's not luxury, but it's a fine place to crash in Kenai. We loved the wolf motif in our room.

This is the first time I ever stayed at a property and never saw another soul. You have to call the manager to get the codes to get in. No one was at the desk and no one else seemed to be staying there. There was no coffee or breakfast station. Very strange place.
