Aspen Hotel Soldotna

8/10 Good

"Room was nice, staff were helpful. Disappointed the pool and hot tub were out of commission."

Soldotna Inn

8/10 Good

"It's an older property, privately owned. Fridge/freezer (dorm sized), microwave, bed all clean. Bathroom was clean as well. TV was DirecTv so there were plenty of channels. We did not try the on property restaurant but it smelled fantastic. The hotel is very close to grocery, restaurants and shopping. About 90 minutes to Homer, 15 to Kenai, 60 to Seward. Right on the middle of the Kenai Peninsula to make a few days of it. Staff was very friendly. Continental breakfast room was clean. Breakfast is exactly what it sounds like- continental. Oatmeal, cereal, bagels English muffins, things like that. It'll cure the hunger til you get to where your going for all the halibut and salmon you'll eat!!!"

The Hibernation Station

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful , clean room and parking is easy"
