The room itself was clean but there was a fly infestation. They were everywhere. The basket outside the room was dirty and smelled like cigarette smoke

Check-in was quick and easy. The room was clean and comfortable. The only complaint I have about the room is that there was no hairdryer. I didn’t have one along because the expectation is that hotels provide a hairdryer.
There were a lot of options for breakfast. My children would have loved it.

Good Value
We stayed during the off season when the rate are low. The property has an annex where pets are allowed. The full breakfast was adequate.

Had a great stay! The only issue we had was one of the soap dispenser holders fell on my foot. I let front desk know, and she asked if I was okay and I was.

Nice place to stay. Nothing fancy.
Good little spot for fishing out of Homer. Is it 5 star, no. Is it a clean place to stay with hot water and good comfortable beds with pillows, yes. The bar/restaurant is good. The breakfast in the morning is good. Plenty of options.

Staff was great, rooms were adequate, breakfast had lots of options including hot food and the workout area had what we needed. I would have liked decaf at breakfast though.

The breakfast was excellent, and the breakfast room has a wonderful view. The beds were comfortable, and our room was quiet. The only drawback for us was that there is no elevator to the upper floors.
