Check in was fine people were polite. Found a bed bug on us after we left. Staff essentially blamed us for the bugs. We are extremely clean people and don’t have bed bugs at home. Would not return.

The view of the Kenai River alone is worth the price of the stay in this hotel, but the rate is reasonable, the staff is friendly and the bed is comfortable as well.
