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

Enjoy it

The hotel is conveniently located and offers easy access to all areas. The room and bathroom are clean and tidy, the heating is adequate and easy to use, and the online service provided by Ms. Michelle was excellent and always helpful, clear and prompt.
