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.

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.

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.
