"7 days and couldn’t get them to clean the room, change a bed, give us towels, etc…..
Worst stay ever. $1200 for 6 nights and had to live with trash stacked up in the room. We emptied the trash twice ourselves."
"While the outside looks worn the rooms are very nice. The rooms are clean and the beds are also comfortable.
For fishermen there is easy access to the Kenai river with cleaning stations if you get lucky."
"The place is not bad for the price. Check in is before 10pm or the doors are locked up( glad I made it there just barely)& no ice machine which was bummer. But very clean and quiet. Cute Alaskan decor. The owner was very nice and helpful with all the explanations on locks and such, kind man. Free coffee and water but no snacks on site. Would stay again just plan accordingly."
"We had a day of king salmon fishing planned in the area, so we decided to stay in Soldotna for the night. We paid $234 for a double queen room.
The room had several issues. The air conditioner rattled throughout the night, one of the mattresses sagged noticeably in the middle, and the door was difficult to close properly.
On the positive side, the room was clean, the breakfast was great, and the staff accommodated an early check-in, which we appreciated.
Would I stay here again? Probably not at this price point. While there were some positives, the condition of the room did not match the cost."
"I checked into Uptown Motel on May 20, 2026. I stayed till May 25th, 2026. During that time my room was only cleaned one time. The 3rd day of my stay. I had to ask to get some clean towels and have my garbage taken out. The little girl at the desk was very sweet and did get me fresh towels, but the bed linen was never changed in my room the whole stay.
Breakfast....I went into the dining room on one morning. I asked for the Eggs Benedick. It looked so good in the menu. I asked for the eggs to to over medium, Not running, Also asked to have the hashbrowns extra crispy. Well, eggs were running and hashbrowns were just whitist and warm. I ate a few bites and got up and paid my bill and left. I am sorry that this place has gone down hill so much. I have stayed here 4 years ago and it was great. This time left a poor taste in my mouth. The staff were nice, but, nothing was said to a refund on the food or lack of cleaning in my room. All they said was sorry???"
