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!!

Dirty room. Very hot room. Had to open a window and use a box fan to cool the room. Then we got accused of stealing a blanket off the bed. The manager started out nice and then said you people stole the blanket and need to return it or get charged 250 dollars. Don’t stay here!!!

Old building with a musty smell. The beds/blankets/pillows were old and uncomfortable. We were not able to adjust the room temp at all. We found mouse poop in our room. The floor was not level. Location was fine though it was strange that it was in a strip mall style building with no attendant on site. I won’t stay here again. If the options are to stay in this hotel or sleep in my car, I would probably sleep in my car.

Clean, comfortable, and simple. The place has a Kenai charm about it. Feels more like a guesthouse than a cookie-cutter-chain hotel room.

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.
