Great motel with updated rooms This place was perfect gor us to stage outings from Coopers Landing to Homer. The motel was clean with wooden floors that reminded me of my childhood cabin. The staff was very helpful. If your fishing the Kenai peninsula, this is a great place to base your outings.

It provided an adequate stay. Could use some color and furnishing to give a better stmosphere. Lack ofA/C was a negative .

Place looks great and was super clean. My only complaint is the thermostat had a lock box on it and it was way too hot for me to sleep as I like a cool bedroom at night. Even with the window open it was too warm Also towels were very thin and small. Owners really nice. Price was very cheap. They could be charging a much higher price especially compared to others in the area

The Hibernation Station is conveniently located only a few minutes from Soldotna. The property is well cared for, my room was impeccably clean, and the staff are attentive and very nice. My room was huge compared to most hotel rooms and the bed was comfortable. There is a coffee machine located near the front desk along with a small shelf stocked with toiletries and extra towels, if needed during your stay. I stayed for one week for work and slept well each night. I have zero complaints and would definitely recommend!
