I would’ve given them five stars because the service was great the rooms were very small but comfortable, However! I left my $125 holster in the room along with a box of food I called the front desk after I got back to town five hours from leaving the hotel. They said they would look for it and call me back I am 100% certain I left it there along with $75 worth of food, Coffee etc. I told him I didn’t care about the food or the coffee it was the holster that was given to me by my father. I never heard back from them, not an email or a phone call which is pretty disappointing. The rates were

Staying at the Driftwood is like staying with family. And the Seaside Lodge has all the comforts of home AND THEN SOME! It was a lovely spot for our family reunion and small wedding. Whether hanging out on the deck, playing on the large lawn or walking to the gallery, restaurants or beach nearby, you can't go wrong staying here. And the trolley stops right outside the main lodge for an effortless ride to the Spit.

Incredibly clean, quiet rooms + comfy beds + FIVE STAR customer service = I'll definitely be back!
My sister and I stayed here last week and loved it! We got a bunk bed room upstairs - the room was very clean and comfortable with a shared bathroom/showers (also super clean!) just next door. We never encountered any trouble accessing a bathroom whenever we wanted for showers or to use the restroom. The place was also surprisingly quiet - we didn't hear any of our neighbors at all.
Overall, everyone we met on staff was incredibly friendly and all around helpful! A few examples: Originally

Wow! This place is amazing. We stayed there on 4th July and enjoyed the fireworks at the other side of water. The place is very calm and beautiful. Once you are at the backyard, you will forget the outside world and just keep watching the beauty of nature. We got all the essential items we need from the lobby and kitchen. Owner is very kind and helpful family. I liked everything here except the coffee flavour, please change it 😂
Hope I can visit this place one more time but we are very far from it. ☹️

Thank you for such an amazing stay!!
I just finished a 3 night stay at Driftwood Inn and it was pretty much perfect!
My room was very clean, my bed was comfy, and I had plenty of towels (and not the scratchy kind).
I had an amazing beach view from my room. Absolutely every staff I encountered was extremely helpful and pleasant.
If you don't mind using a shared bathroom or not having a giant flat screen TV- this is a perfect place to stay.
It's a long walk to the spit, but there are bike rentals by Safeway and cabs are very reasonable. There are very good restaurants for both breakfast

I love the Driftwood Inn and now I love them even more. I purchased a small 24 ft. RV and the Driftwood RV park is perfect. It is right on the beach, has hot showers and flush toilets, and has full hook-ups and a dump station. We were within walking distance of the Pratt Museum, 2 art galleries, and best, the Two Sister's Bakery. We had a wonderful time and I will definitely go back.

Clean rooms and comfortable beds best description! Stayed in the original house and it's very nice. Two full beds with a small private bathroom. Refrigerator downstairs free to use with a small ice maker. Self serve Laundry mat, $3 wash $2 dryer with buyable soap on site, front desk can provide some quarters if needed. Free parking out front. Patio deck with a fire pit area provide your own wood. Front desk service til midnight that was very helpful and accommodating. Definitely a perfect stay for a fair price for homer in the summer on a Thursday night - $182 after tax

Totally awesome - these people were so nice - all of the spit RV parks closed the day before our arrival - they had no spots available but would have space the next day - they let us park in a parking spot next to the playground and even gave us electricity - that is hospitality - kudos for them- and unbelievable for us - great bay views - awesome clean facilities and much more quiet and serene than the highly traveled spit road -

This hotel advertises on TripAdvisor $124. for what they call a ships quarters room. On the ad, it states to call the hotel directly for a better deal. (See Attached photo). Upon calling, THERE IS NO BETTER DEAL. The lady quoted the same exact price. After bringing it to her attention, she said "no it's not false advertising", "take it or leave it" and "good luck". Not only is it false advertising, they have a bad attitude as well.

In Homer, this is where I stay, instead of a more traditional hotel. The location is directly on the beach, the staff are friendly, the rooms are clean and quiet, and the price is right. Please adjust your expectations from a standard hotel -- know you're getting a bed and a shower and walking distance to Two Sisters Bakery and a local pub across the street.
The rooms which resemble a ship are tight (like a ship ... imagine that) with bedspace for two adults and a child to sleep, and room for very little else, including any extra bags.
In the mornings, a cup of coffee on the back deck

Just like staying in a ship, a spacious, clean, comfortable ship. My wife and I had the "Captain's quarters" room on the second floor with our two ten year olds. Lots of room for us and our luggage and the view out over the bay and the eagles roosting on the adjacent roof were spectacular. An excellent place to explore maybe the prettiest little town and best eating town in South Central Alaska. It's a short walk to Fat Olives (highly recommended restaurant) and Two Sisters Bakery, which we missed but people rave about. Good friendly service, someone seemingly always at the

Stayed 3 nights. I liked the RV Park and office and staff were real nice. Reasonable rates for RV camping. Free coffee and TV. Good clean showers. It is in old part of Homer, Alaska. We had beautiful view of Kachemak Bay. Only downside is the house across the street was a "crack house" I was told. People came in and out and drove by and parked on the side road which faced the Bay and did "their dope thing" in their cars which faced the Bay. Same cars drove by and parked every day, Just so sad to see that going on.

We reluctantly checked out of the Kachemak Cottage last week. We have now stayed in all of the options at Driftwood Inn over the years, and we have enjoyed them all. On our most recent trip we were getting our two little ones together with my brother and nephew and the Kachemak Cottage worked out great for our two families. We loved the play area, the expansive front yard, access to a clean and nice laundry facility, and we especially loved running on the beautiful beach in close proximity. Thanks!!!

We rolled into Homer with no reservation and found that many places were booked or WAY over priced ($180+). We ended up driving by Driftwood and stopped in to inquire. The rooms are "ship" themed, so the first floor all have full wooden interiors and small bathrooms. The upstairs has bunk beds and two shared bathrooms for the floor. We stayed upstairs: our room was small, but bright and clean. The bathrooms were clean and there was never a wait for the restroom, so that was nice. There isn't a breakfast, and they seem to charge for everything: snacks, water, etc...

We Yelped a couple places to stay and just drove up and got a room. We had a shared bathroom upstairs but that was okay. It was clean, nice, pleasant. The people who run it were super nice. There is a great patio if the weather allows overlooking the ocean and it's only a block from the beach. For the price, I'm not sure you could beat this place.

My boyfriend and our friend wanted to get out of Anchorage for a night, so we decided to just swing on down to Homer and from our friend's recommendation, we stayed at Driftwood Inn.
Oh, this was great. It's definitely worn and rustic, and it's far from the Sheraton, but you can tell that the owners put a lot of attention and love into their business. They made the most out of the oddly-shaped rooms, with how they designed the bunks and placed the other furniture. They're nice, helpful people.
If you're in Homer, you better not be wasting your time away in your hotel

I loved this place! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the desk staff friendly and helpful, and the place was just rusticly cute. There's an option for rooms with shared facilities, a common area with fridge, hot drinks, honor system snacks.... the main area has comfy overstuffed furniture, games, a fireplace....
The room was small, but well done. Built in bed on the window, comfy bed and pillows, small tv as an afterthought, and unneeded. The price was high, but competitive for Homer... the shared loo was clean and WARM, the hall slightly sloped and narrow... there really is nothing

I stayed one night before a 6 night backcountry trip. very affordable, great room with bunkbeds and a shared bath. snacks in the lobby. their check in time is around 3p.m. but i arrived early and they had my room for me. also, i was able to store my non-backcountry gear for the time i was gone and shower when i returned for a fee. it's walking distance to restaurants, the two sisters bakery, safeway, and visitor's center,etc.
i would definitely stay there again and recommend it to friends.
