Overall, everything was very clean and nice. I have no complaints about the room, and found it comfortable and spacious. The bar/restaurant kind of scared me off. It seemed more like a local hangout spot than a hotel amenity.

Always a Good Stay

We've stayed here before when we do quick trips to Homer and it's always a good experience. They're pet friendly, so it makes it great we're able to bring our two mini Schnauzers. The breakfast is pretty good, too, lots of hot items, plus fresh fruit, a fresh yogurt machine - which was really good - and several juice choices, also including strawberry kiwi enhanced water.

Excellent place to stay!

From check in to check out, my stay was amazing. The bed was super comfortable, bathroom was spotless, the room was huge. When you’re there, eat at the Otter Room! Amazing staff there as well. Cocktails were well made, they had the fireplace lit, so the room was cozy. Will I stay there again? Absolutely.

Horrible Experience

I'm not leaving all the details here, but there are other choices in town. Many of them...choose elsewhere. I will be leaving the details of my horrible experience to be delt with with my husband, federal agencies and communicating with the General Manager. BUT be advised, if you have a disability, this is not where you want to be. Never have I been treated in such a discrimatory manner, not discrimited against with malice but turned away after vetting the location to protect my safety. Then mocked by the front desk attendant with her disingenous comments . She should work anywhere other than with customer service and trained how to actually speak to people with disabilities with a level of respect not disrespect. No better than, certainly not less than. We (I) just want to be treated equally and if this can't happen, don't sell teh product/service.
