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.
