Wonderful stay with friendly, happy staff, delicious food and drinks. Beautiful location. Walking paths to the river and through the woods were fantastic. Ate at the restaurant most meals and we were able to sit at the bar for a drink. The room was fantastic, more like a cabin than a hotel room. The view from our balcony was beautiful. We will stay here whenever we are in the area.

This is a beautiful property, tucked up above the river. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. If you walk down to the river, they have a phone where you can call for the shuttle to pick you up.

The wood burning stove in the room was amazing. It was so enjoyable to relax with a fire. The room was large and the bed was very comfortable.

The restaurants are good and reasonably priced for an Alaskan hotel meal. Service at the casual bar/restaurant was exemplary. We did not experience the other restaurant.

Since I knew ahead of time there wasn't a fridge in the room, we came prepared with a portable cooler and ice was conveniently available outside of the next building.

The only downside was that WiFi was only available in the main lodge and the public area was pretty small. I wish the lack of WiFi in the rooms had been better noted, but I would stay again without WiFi. The rest of the stay was near perfect.

Our stay at the Kenai Princess Lodge was outstanding and exceeded our expectations. The property is absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking views of the Kenai River and surrounding mountains that made every morning and evening memorable.

The lodge itself was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. We especially loved the unique design of the rooms. The wood-burning stove added so much character and created a warm, cozy atmosphere that made our stay feel even more special. It was a wonderful touch that set the lodge apart from other places we’ve stayed.

The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with recommendations or answer questions, making us feel valued throughout our stay.

One of the highlights was simply relaxing on the deck overlooking the river. The peaceful setting and incredible scenery made it the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring Alaska. The location is also excellent, providing easy access to many of the area’s attractions while still feeling like a quiet retreat.

Overall, we had an excellent experience and would highly recommend the Kenai Princess Lodge to anyone visiting Alaska. The combination of spectacular scenery, comfortable accommodations, unique rooms, and exceptional service made this one of the highlights of our trip. We would gladly stay here again.

Our room was very clean, and I enjoyed that the sink and mirror for the bathroom was separate from the shower area. This setup was helpful because while my family was showering, I could be finishing up getting ready at the same time. The staff was very kind and helpful. Our dinner was delicious, probably the best food we’ve had during the 17 days of our vacation!

Our room was a rustic retreat! We loved the whole resort that had an exceptional welcoming front desk staff.
Our room was comfy. A bit dated but that’s the rustic retreat look that made it feel so cozy. There’s a wood fire stove in the room but we didn’t use it because it was so warm that evening.
Breakfast and dinner was very good!! I ordered a soup and did not like it, my husband loved his. They brought me something else and were so nice about it.

Awesome property perched above the beautiful river. Our room had a wood burning stove and back porch, which we enjoyed. It was also really nice that the lodge offered a shuttle that would drive down the steep path that leads to the river bank near the lodge to give you a ride back up if needed, which a few people in my party really appreciated. We did not eat on property but they have a few restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

Kenai Princess was not as overwhelmed by cruise passengers as the other Princess lodges e stayed at. This lodge is more upscale and we enjoyed our stay. But I would avoid it in peak cruise season. These lodges are highly optimized for cruise passengers and not if you are traveling on your own

The staff was new but friendly and helpful. This is a beautiful location. The rooms were clean but we would rather have a fridge than a TV. We had a discounted rate through Hotels.com. For the rate we paid the room was a good value. Even considering that this is a prime Alaska location the direct booking rate is overpriced.
We did enjoy the bar, the deck and the breakfast.

One suggestion would be to add a playground for children, which would make the property even more family-friendly. It would also be great to see the hot tub brought back, as that would be a wonderful amenity for guests to relax and enjoy after a day of exploring Alaska.

Overall, a very positive experience, and we would gladly stay here again.

Amazing stay!

Wonderful place to stay! Our room was very large with a table/chairs, sitting area, wood burning stove, and king bed (which was very comfy). It also had a private balcony off the room! Front desk staff was great, the restaurant had delicious food and drink (it was nice eating on the back deck overlooking the mountains), and there was a nice walking trial down to the river. If guests didn't feel like walking back up the big hill they could call the front desk and have the hotel van come and get them. This was also the only hotel we stayed at in Alaska that had recycling bins around the main building and in the rooms. We also enjoyed the jigsaw puzzle in the lobby and spent a few hours working on it.

When we first booked, did not realize it was tied to cruise line and their ‘land tours’. This was the 3rd one we stayed at on our trip. Rooms were nice and very large. Very cool that they have wood burning fire places and supply wood. Only drawback is no fridges.
Resort seemed to have lots of walking paths and had outside games and nice patio overlooking river.
Our family enjoys walking - was quite a hill climb to get to our room.

On the other hand, we could've requested too or brought to their attention lack of room service. Otherwise, totally recommend.
