Aspen Extended Stay Suites Kenai

Kenai

10/10 Exceptional

This is one of our favorite places to stay when we go to the Peninsula. Staff is always friendly and helpful. During this stay our full sized refrigerator and freezer stopped working on day two. They immediately swapped it out for a new one. While we we’re waiting for the new unit to cool down to temperature the manager went out and bought 5 bags of ice to help keep food cold in our coolers. She also compensated us $100 for the food that did get ruined. We’ve already booked our stay for next...

Best Western King Salmon Inn

Soldotna

10/10 Exceptional

Best accommodations experience of trip. Nothing luxurious just solid. Friendly accommodating staff, tidy efficient room with good decent mattress, really good pillows and linens, and excellent shower pressure! The AC unit cooled fine but was a little noisy. And we loved being able to park right outside our door, just like “motel” implies. I’ll enthusiastically recommend this hotel to friends who often stay in fancier places.
