Scary…at first”

The room was clean. They had a fan.
Pretty terrifying from the outside. Room was tiny. No AC. No blackout shades. The bed broke. We fixed it. The bed then broke again overnight. The bar looked fun. It we didn’t get to enjoy.

First AK Trip and The Place rocks!”

The Place has excellent owners and one main other employee who is the bartender and she rocked as well. Out of the way but plenty of access to cool places and lots of fishing, hiking and other recreation. Owners let us checkout fishing poles and basic tackle. They also had a vacuum sealer and freezer space, we just had to supply vac bags. Breakfast everyday made by the owners usually scrabble eggs, potatoes or meat, some fruit, cottage cheese, yogurt, bread, coffee, etc. Rooms are real basic, older and smaller with older linens and towels but great for a place to hang the hat. The smaller rooms make you goout instead of sit at the room. First trip to AK for my brother and me, and would definitely stay here again. The bar is attached and just a good old bar to have a beer at the end of a day. Sometimes food but kitchen is mostly closed since Covid hit; so just randomness, nachos on Tuesday's, sometimes homemade afternoon pancakes.
I didn't take any pictures of the place.

The most friendly and helpful owner, clean rooms, and a great bar.”

Our family (with two kids) stayed at Grant and Rossana's motel for three nights, and they made us feel really like home. They are by far the best hotel owners we have met. Rossana made exquisite dinners for us even though the motel doesn't serve dinners. She also helped my wife to clean and store the salmons we caught. The motel is just 50m away from a spectacular view of the glacier mountains across the Cook Inlet. There is also a pristine lake nearby where you can kayak. Highly recommend this motel to anyone who visit Kenai, AK.

Wonderful, clean, affordable and friendly place to stay!”

Very well kept rooms, beds, pillows and towels all new and soft. Quiet with door closed even with the road right there. Continental breakfast was great ~ sausage, eggs, bagels, oatmeal. cereals and yogurt. Owners and employees we so friends and courteous!!
I forgot my lotion at home and none was given in the room, but I also didn’t ask so not sure if they had it available.
