Overall it was a good stay. We were there for 2 nights for a fishing charter. The room itself was basic. The only complaint I had was that it smelled like used socks. The view and the fact that it was right on the river over compensated for the room smell. The hotel has a fish cleaning station and gas powered grills that you can use, which was amazing.

This is a rustic, older hotel. It is nice enough for what it is. Don't expect 5 star hotel, but it isn't run down and dirty- just older. The staff was very nice. View of Kenai River is gorgeous.

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!
