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.

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.

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.

This was a good hotel for a trip to Homer- it is conveniently located and off the spit. I did not want to stay on the spit because its tourists everywhere so we chose this hotel. The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. The best thing about this hotel is the amazing hot buffet breakfast which is included with your stay. We had omelettes made to our liking, French toast, scrambled eggs, sausage and all the other typical foods. Plus the view from the restaurant looks out into the water and mountains beyond. I would recommend staying here.
