The Kenai Inn

OK, this is a very small place, right off the main highway, but finding it was a bit of a challenge because of its size. It's on the end of a small strip center with 3 or 4 other businesses and offices. Then, when you get to the front door, you'll probably find it locked with a sign that gives you a phone number. The manager doesn't maintain a front desk. Rather, she checks you in by phone and texts the instructions. It's unique, but it worked well. The key to the room? a code that she inputs and sends with very clear, detailed instructions. She did text a couple of times, making sure everything was OK, so in reality, we had no quarrel with the method once we figured it out. The electronic key worked very well. The room was good--large, well-maintained, with parking right beside the door. There obviously wasn't a breakfast, but that seems to be the rule rather than the exception on the Kenai Peninsula. Would we stay there again? Yes with no concerns at all. Just be forewarned about the odd check-in. It's a great little motel.

There was no staff at a front desk. We had to deal with staff by phone or email. We got a code to unlock the front door and another code to open our room door.

It was conveniently located with the necessities you need for a stay It could have used a vending machine. Also tea in the assortment along with coffee.

Very clean and convenient motel with helpful and responsive staff. It's not luxury, but it's a fine place to crash in Kenai. We loved the wolf motif in our room.
