I booked this hotel for my grandson and his girl while we stayed at the Aspen. After booking our room Hotels.com was out of rooms at the Aspen. I knew they would love the Kenai River Lodge. While right on the road through town, it is also right on the famous fish river Kenai, and has a small bar area on the roof. It is an older rustic lodge and just perfect for my outdoorsy twenty-year-olds.

comfortable but small

The room was small but the king bed was comfortable. There was a bath tub and shower which I love. It was quiet except for the bridge traffic. It was centrally located and close to everything we needed.
