Nice and knowledgable staff people were helpful and courteous. But the lack of the ADVERTISED shuttle in the listing was a very big BUMMER for me.

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.
