Very clean and accommodating to my request of ground floor. Wasn't avle to park in front of my room, but out in the parking lot a ways. Assuming it was due to the restaurant on the ground froor a few doors from our room. Staff was friendly. Room was extremely clean, but cooler. Easy check in and check and breakfast was the best we've had at other hotels.

When our fishing trip in Seward was cancelled (along with other guides shutting down for the season early) and we had to change to Homer, we were very pleased that the guide service recommended Best Western Bidarka Inn. If we stay at Homer again, we will stay here again.

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.

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.

The otter staff was less to be desired. Asked for coffee, served COLD, didn’t offer to get another cup. Order of fish was horrible… super dry, was NEVER asked how things were or can I get you something else. Had to ask the bar tender for more water. They were NOT busy either. Maybe 10 people in there.
