Attempted to charge extra $20 for a minimally early checkin. Very meager breakfast offerings. No toiletries or towels available on holiday.
Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023
Response from Hotel Desk on 29 Nov,2023
We spoke with the guest the day before and informed them of the holiday closure and gave them extra toiletries and towels. If there was any issues during the holiday, staff was accessible to help them. They didn't ask for any help. And yes, if a guest wants to rent extra time in the room, it costs something.

We would never expect a guest to sleep on a soiled or smelly bed, and it's a shame that we only heard about this issue long after your stay. Please know that we have staff available 24/7 and we would have gladly moved you to one of the other open rooms if you had only let us know there was an issue.Although no guest who has stayed in the room after you has shared your concern, we will certainly take a close look to ensure the mattress is in good condition.

Mark,We keep track of guest feedback on each mattress, and you are the first guest to offer any negative feedback on that mattress. As you were told at check in, hotel staff was available 24/7 if you had any issues or concerns. We had several other rooms open we would have been glad to place you in -even upgrading your res at no cost. It's strange that you made no effort to reach out to us during your stay or at check out.

I use the Soldotna Inn because it is centrally located for my dog related trials in the Kenai. They do charge an extra $25 per night for pets which I find irksome as my dogs are well behaved and quieter than others that are staying there. They are pet friendly though. Great places to walk leashed dogs. It’s an older hotel but the rooms are clean. Easy Peasy to stay there.

Wall were paper thin and you could hear other guests all the time. Had to keep a window open to keep it from getting way to hot which then resulted in hearing all the traffic and the groups of smokers talking outside. Dirty floors and shower. Uncomfortable bed.

Thanks for the review, Barbara. If you need a downstairs room next time, choose one of our 1 Queen rooms and then call to make sure it's on the ground floor -we have a couple 1Q rooms upstairs. Hopefully that will make your next stay much more comfortable!

Hotel was dirty and room was extremely hot. No AC. They had the heater up to 80 when we walked in, with no AC we could not get the hotel to cool down. Extremely uncomfortable all night. The room was also dirty and gross. Towels had holes and were discolored. Would not stay here again.

Response from Hotel Desk on 12 Jul,2023
Sorry to hear this, though something seems off about this review. We have had the heat for the whole building turned off all summer and it has been cold and rainy this year. We have gotten a couple complaints about the rooms being too cool this summer, and no complaints about heat. We also have staff easily available 24/7, so if your room was not properly cleaned or there was an issue with heat, a staff member could have fixed the issue or placed you in a different room. We would never expect you to stay in an uncomfortable or uncleaned room.
