Heather was very helpful in rebooking. Staff is helpful. Rooms can be warm with direct sun, but with windows open it cooled off nicely. Property is tidy and the rear rooms are both cooler and quieter. There are fuel stations nearby with fuel, ice, and snacks. Soldotna is not to far away for more restaurant options. We booked short notice for a fishing trip in Sterling and it is convenient for that if you are meeting your guide at Bings Landing.

It doesn't look like much, but the rooms were clean, and refurbished. The beds were pretty hard, but I don't mind a firm bed. The staff was very friendly and even gave us some garbage bags to cover a piece of luggage we had on top of a vehicle to protect it from the rain. They a nice refrigerator to put your fish in too. Would stay here again.

For an outdated building, it was very clean, staff was very nice, and I would stay there again. My only hope would be they consider updating at least the mattresses and pillows; they were super uncomfortable. Otherwise a great stay!

Just what I needed
A perfectly fine place to stay at a reasonable price. The staff was friendly. Not a resort destination, but a welcome sight after dipnetting on the Kenai. I'd certainly stay there again!

This is a refurbished older hotel. It's a good place to stay for fishermen. They have freezer space for rent for one's catch. The room was comfortable. The refrigerator had a shelf for a freezer, like many hotels, and it was able to freeze our blue ice. There was coffee (but no decaf) tea, and grab and go items for breakfast; nothing special, but we still were glad to have it.
