"The Place Bar & Motel is a destination where the Owner’s work to set themselves above the competition."

10.0

It was exceptionally clean! The bluff overlooking the beach is about 50 yards away where there’s a picnic table and loop walkabout way. It’s quiet, maybe 4 miles from the center of Kenai and simply a diamond in the rough! The Owners Rosanna & Grant are more than welcoming, kind & go way over & beyond to cater to their clients! Rosanna provides a continental breakfast with a couple of hot items each morning-even though I’d read online that it ended a day prior to my stay..the smoked salmon egg scramble was to die for-oh the lemon halibut, smoked salmon lumpia and noodles were equally delicious as a treat for some European guests- they celebrate their guests-whether they catch a fish or not! Just awesome folks-as the locals..kind! I was looking to forage different berries..a gal pulled an AK Berry handbook from her for me-and took me around the property! I‘be never even heard of a “watermelon berry”-delicious! Again, great conversation over cold local brews with area teachers, LNG retirees, fishermen, & guests from around the globe-what a wonderful place!

Totally satisfied!

The owners are the most down to earth people I have met! They helped my family with any needs and the breakfast each morning was really good. These 2 put pride in this hotel and I'll stay here again if my family visits Soldotna again. They kept our fish frozen until we left and allowed us to use their vacuum sealer for the fish. You're family when you stay here and that means more to me then a fancy hotel. I just loved this place!
