We booked a Halibut fishing trip in Homer, AK (which was great) and our Captain suggested some Bed & Breakfast's in Homer.
We booked our stay at the Chocolate Drop Inn with the manager (the owners son) and sent our deposit to reserve the 3 room for our party of six. They hired a new manager and the owners son kept our deposit, so we called to confirm our stay right before our trip. They could not find our deposit and acted like we were joking with them about our stay. We had to get the canceled check to prove we had paid which we did. The new manager called the owner and he honored our stay and promised we would enjoy our stay. When we got to the Chocolate Drop Inn there was no one to greet us but a note to tell us where our room was at which was alright. When the manager finally got back to the Inn we introduce ourselves to her and asked about any rules they had. We were told that the kitchen was hers and that we were not allowed behind the counter in fact she had it blocked off. We told her which days we would be fishing and started to talk about getting sandwiches and making our lunches on the counter (our side) and she informed us that we were not allowed to make sandwiches on our side of the counter, so we had to make them in our rooms. The Bed & Breakfast promised us gourmet food and even seafood breakfast's but what we received the first morning was warmed up biskets and gravy, warmed up in the microwave from her boyfriends' earlier breakfast. The next day we received a Crockpot egg breakfast she put in the night before. It was dry and burnt from cooking so long and tasted terrible. One morning she went fishing and for some reason she came back and went back to bed and told her daughter to microwave some frozen waffles for us, which ended up being our best breakfast our entire stay. She also restricted food on the deck. She never clean our rooms while we were there. She told us where we could store our food and when we put 2 bags of ice in the freezer the next morning it was gone. At the end we let her know what time we were leaving and she never even prepared us any breakfast so we had to take off and eat at a local restaurant which turned out to be quite good. Also someone in our party needed to wash a load of laundry at the end of our weeks stay and she told them that the machines were hers and quest could not use it. It was a beautiful place and the rooms were nice but the manager was lazy and rude. After our stay I sent an email to the owner letting him know about our stay and asking for an apology or something and the email ended by telling me to never come back and that would solve the problem. There appeared to be allot of good Bed & Breakfast's in the area but The Chocholate Drop Inn was not one of them I hope this helps someone if they are planning to stay in Homer.
