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.

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.
The view of the Bay from the breakfast room.

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.

Decent location, pretty standard room. The highlight of this property is the bar The Otter Room with kitchen open til 11pm. The burgers exceeded expectations as did that the place even attracted locals. Plus $3 PBR. Short walk to other bars, restaurants, and Pioneer Ave. Not my usual place to stay in Homer but I’d gladly do business with the Best Western there again.
