I stayed here with my husband last weekend, just overnight. I read the reviews before going but had no say really in where we were staying. I was concerned based on the reviews but was pleasantly surprised. We had a room over their dining area, the Otter Room. I was concerned about noise from the lounge but it was very... More

Our room wreaked of alcohol & cigs... it was like entering a bar. It looked like the room was just plain worn out. Definitely some shady looking characters hanging around the bar area of the hotel. We were very disappointed & we won't be staying here again.

This really has more of a motel fee, than a hotel. Doors to rooms open directly to the outside. Fairly run down looking, some dodgy locals hanging around. Room was not great by any stretch, would give it two stars but the breakfast was surprisingly good.

Pros: -The only name-brand hotel in Homer -Real bacon for breakfast!!! -Very comfortable beds Cons: -The rooms are very out-dated -The sink in the bathroom is at your knees -The rooms above the restaurant smell like a fryer -There is still remnant smoking odor from when they allowed it. -The doors do not close automatically behind you.

I, my husband and 2 dogs stayed 2 nights during the Kachemak Bay Shorebird Festival. We had to switch rooms because maintenance couldn't fix the draining problem in the bathroom. The second room had draining problems too, but not as bad. We did enjoy the free breakfasts and the staff were polite and friendly. This is a great place if... More

I spent the night here and slept pretty good on the bed I had. Rooms are ok but pretty plain. The breakfast was fine too but nothing special. Fairly noisy too in my room but it did have a microwave and refrigerator so that was a plus.

I stayed at this hotel for a night. The room itself was great. My only complaint is about the housekeeper I saw walking into a room with her butt exposed and her chest hanging out. She bent over to pick up a piece of trash and may as well have mooned the entire Bidarka. I think her name on the... More

This hotel was average. It is located off of the main road into town and is a short drive from the Homer Spit which, if you’re a tourist, is likely where you’ll be spending most of your time. My room was clean, had a fridge and a rather ancient (but functional) microwave, a nice flat screen TV, and was pretty... More

I'll start off saying the hotel is conveniently located, and you can't miss it when arriving in Homer which is nice. However, after checking into our room my husband went to use the restroom and when he lifted the seat there was dried urine from the last customer, gross. As if that wasn't bad enough, when I looked behind the... More

This was a 1-night business trip stop for me. Just like the previous reviews have stated, I agree this hotel is pretty run down, with a few nice things to make it pretty ok. The bed was VERY comfortable, the TV has a zillion channels (altho mine stopped working) and the breakfast was really nice. There's a bar/restaurant on-site which... More
