Perfection!
This was our first time traveling to Alaska! The Safari Lodge was my favorite place to stay on the entire 9 day trip. The staff was so attentive, the rooms were welcoming and clean. The location was perfect. And the view, from our balcony, was amazing!

We had a wonderful time at the Safari Lodge. The room was very clean and we loved sitting out on the deck overlooking the marina! We also enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants and shopping. The staff at the lodge were very friendly - We would definitely come back!

Nice location. Clean rooms. Parking a fair distance offsite with no drop off spot, which was very inconvenient in the pouring rain. No front desk staff outside of 9-5 business hours. Most uncomfortable beds we experience on our entire trip.

Great property with all of the amenities for the area. The only alert is to beware of a surcharge for the use of credit card for payment.

This is a 2 stars lodge facing the harbor. Very small room, tiny shower, no A/C for ventilation in the room.
I would prefer to have a bedding with conforter sheets covering the blanket.
This is a convenient place to stay to join the early cruise in the morning. Very basic lodge for the high price.

Location, Location, Location
The staff was great, our room was unusual. The size was great, whoever mounted the television (which I think must be an 85") must have had too much to drink. On a side wall so you could not actually use the TV. When we opened the drapes to the sliding door there was a large wagon/trash container outside our door, HUMMM. . . The room itself was excellent, even better was the location. I would highly recommend to anyone.

My room had an awesome view and the desk service people were helpful and nice. People walking on porch outside a bit as they came in with fish. The parking was some distance from lodging. I wish I could checkout earlier than 9:00am so I could be at Major Marine for my Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise…I literally walked in due to the lateness.
