Staff was great. But the hotel wasn't completely pet friendly. The jet bath suite which is what we booked does not allow pets. So we chose not to stay. The front desk staff was great and we were not charged.

Good value in Kenai

Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable. Louie's restaurant next door had good food options. Electrical was a little funky. After a power surge, the air conditioner turned itself on and blew only hot air. Thankfully, the receptionist found us a different room.

Restaurant unavailable on Mondays, and no breakfast available. It would have been nice to know beforehand. Check in took forever to verify a room ready well after check in time.
