Room was clean and comfortable but also pretty old and run down. Water pressure in the shower was weak and the toiletries were gross. There was only one chair and no table to sit at. Staff did a good job of cleaning and restocking towels daily. Breakfast was mediocre. A decent place to stay in Homer but given the cost I'd expected better.

This specific property was booked for our stay because it lists under amenities "complimentary shuttle service" - airport shuttle and around the area shuttle service. This was not available during our stay. We had a weekend stay. Reportedly this service is available only on week days and possibly only during specific hours. Front desk offered to hail taxi service and provided taxi contact numbers. Without shuttle service the location felt isolated. We incurred multiple unexpected taxi fees. Some restaurants were within walking distance. The Spit and town interests required transportation (4-10 mikes one way). The staff was friendly. The property was clean, quiet, and adequate. Breakfast offering was well supplied.

Great bed, wonderful breakfast, friendly staff. Only recommendation is bring some earplugs because the walls are a bit thin and people get up early to be on the water.
