My work buddy and I did a scouting trip for our Las Vegas, NV fishing group. Kenai River Lodge called me to make sure we were okay and not lost. They kept the lodge open for out late arrival. They have waders, boots, vacuum sealers, freezers and wven a bar on site! Will definitely stay here again!

The building is definitely older but it was clean. The lady at the front desk was amazingly sweet and very helpful. The bar was very nice and we liked the outdoor seating. We would stay again.

Nice stay
There is no AC at this hotel so trying to sleep with the windows open can sometimes be difficult. There is a lounge on property so it gets loud at night. The staff is great and do everything they can to make your stay enjoyable.
