The property staff are very friendly. However, the property itself has not been updated since the 80’s, including the bedding. The rooms are very Spartan, though they do have a mini fridge. No air conditioning, which is problematic in the summer. If the windows open, you can hear the noises from the street. It is a quick walk to the docks, however, though no views of the ocean from any of the rooms that I could tell. The rooms themselves are extremely expensive for the very limited amenities.

Oh so sweet. Reminded me of my family’s cabin. And the nicest people managing the inn. Big hugs! For those who have brought half the closet book a first floor - didn’t see an elevator. But lugging luggage was worth it!

MET OUR EXPECTATIONS - HAPPILY STAY AGAIN

Comfortable spacious room in good condition. Property is approx 700 metres from the Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise Terminal. Woody's Thai Kitchen only 100 metres away. A busy Friday evening where we had to wait 20 minutes for a table.

Staff was friendly and very accommodating. The rooms are basic but comfortable. The location was perfect for us - on the shuttle route, walkable to town and to harbor. Also very close to My Marathon trailhead.

Great place to stay

The location was great. It was central to downtown and to the harbour and nice and quiet. Check in was quick and simple and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Room was very clean and well maintained. Downside for us was we got all the foot traffic going right past our room as well as hearing all the noise from rooms above us. I would recommend asking for a top floor room to avoid this. All in all it was a good place to stay

Very pleasant hotel. Although it is walkable to town is was a bit farther than I cared for. I have to say, the bed was not the most comfortable but the room was clean and service was good.
