Out of our two week vacation this was the best three night stay we had. Clean, courtesy, helpful and most of all restful.

Beautiful surroundings and view....

Pros: Location is its positive note.
Cons: Furnishings need to be updated and bathroom clean. I would hope that clients requests for privacy should be respected
Location: Restaurants, shops, tours, bay, charters for fishing, local sites
Room was not quite what was advertised. View was Ok, but a building in front of us partially blocked the scenery of Kachemak Bay. Room could have been cleaner, especially bathroom and we requested privacy with no room entry, which was not respected. Front desk not always available. Noise from front walkway was noticable, but not disruptive. For the price, I would have expected more. Rooms need to be updated. Location was excellent to town, attractions, and views of Bay.

Nice view over the garages

Pros: Not one thing
Cons: New beds and more insulation in the walls
Location: We were in Home to fish but the rest of the town was ugly...great view of mountains
This place was a complete disappointment...view was good if you looked over the back of other buildings, no screens on windows or sliding door, bed was uncomfortable and walls are very thin. Noise from upstairs until after 2 am. Would not ever stay here again and would not recommend anyone to stay here.

Excellent experience in every aspect

Pros: Everything except the coffee in the room.
Cons: The only fault we found was the awful coffee in the room. We love our c A jar of instant would be a great improvement over the Folgers individual bags
This is one of the best inn experiences of our two week adventure. Very clean, comfortable, accessible, with a great location above the beach. We loved this place.

Stunning Views from comfortable clean room.

Pros: The easy access to the room, cleanliness, and the view !!
Location: Easy access to the beach and Homer Alaska has fishing, sight seeing, hiking, wild life viewing, shopping, and gourmet restaurants, and character.
I couldn't ask for a better value for my money. Very nice clean rooms, the view of the ocean, the glaciers across the bay, and the bonus was an eagles nest with 2 chicks in it within view of our room window. I'll stay here again and again. I recommend this easy access hotel with one of the best views for your money.
