We stayed two days at the lodge. I would say more motel than lodge but that's just me. The room was clean, had a fridge, coffee pot & microwave.This is next to the main road so loud if you sleep with the window open. Plenty of parking and check in staff was friendly. The beds are not all that comfortable... More

I have stayed at this lodge through three owners since 2001. The lodge has changed little but the price has grown exponentially. In 2001, a double room cost $70/nt. Last year I was quoted 225! (same month and timeframe) This place has an excellent fishing bank and if you have a lil experience fishing the Kenai from the bank, you... More

This is my second visit to this property. During my first I rated it as a nice clean motel. In the two years that have passed since then, they have redone the room furnishings and spruced up the rooms considerably. The rooms are spacious and offer a nice view of the Kenai river. The furnishings are very cozy although I... More

My wife and I stayed at this Motel in August 2009, I caught two Silver Salmon right from their fishing dock, cleaned the fish on their "cleaning/Filet station" and cooked one on one of the many gas grills. Rooms were recently modernized and very clean and comfortable. Drivable distance to Homer for a day of Halibut fishing, and resonable driving... More

This is a clean simple motel. It has been recently renovated. The rooms are clean and modest. We spent several days at the motel while working in the area. While the rooms are clean and comfortable, the walls are paper thin. We could clearly hear conversations from some of the other, more transient guest. The wireless internet did not work... More

If you like fishing, and you are in Soldotna, AK in July or August, then this is an ideal place for you. Located right on the bank of Kenai River, this motel's biggest attraction is its river frontage. The accomodation is plain and basic, but it has everything you need as a salmon fisherman. You can walk down to the... More
