Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Staff were very friendly and available to greet us when we arrived and throughout the 3 night stay. Very helpful in setting up activities (highly recommend Beluga Air for a flightseeing trip!) The Lux suite had plenty of room, a great jetted tub and large shower, was beautifully laid out and had nice amenities (plates and bowls, silverware, nice cups and wine glasses, microwave, mini-fridge, etc.) The giant king bed was fully adjustable and very comfortable with really nice sheets. Spa is right outside the sliding door but curtains provide plenty of privacy and nice view of the bay when you want. All in all, a great experience for our 25th anniversary and would highly recommend to others!

This is a cozy, unique, small hotel/Inn that feels more like a B&B (though they do not serve breakfast). We stayed in the Bayview suite, which was beautifully decorated to feel like a beach cottage, complete with a fireplace which was very cozy during the cool and rainy days. The bathrooms had the nicest showers I've seen in a hotel in my recent memory.
The room was full of small but useful details, including coffee/wine/water glasses, a refrigerator, multiple sets of towels (for bath and spa) and robes. I believe all or most rooms (including ours) have private hottubs which felt amazing at the ends of colder rainy autumn days.
The owners were very helpful and checkin was easy. Having a car we felt that the location was convenient (fairly central to both the spit and the rest of town). We loved our stay and wish that it could have been longer.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to host your recent visit to Homer. I'm glad you found the environment cozy and relaxing. As new owners, having acquired the property in late July, your feedback is very important to us. We are preparing to offer breakfast options in the near future and hope you will consider us again. We have many plans in store to make the Homer Inn & Spa a year-round destination. Thanks again for your patronage.

We spent 6 nights here and wished it had been more. It was the perfect place to unwind at the very beginning of our three week trip. We had the most private room in the Inn and our own two-person hot tub with views of the incredible landscape. We loved that it was close to shopping (we felt 'The Spirit of Alaska' was the best place for authentic and beautiful native art) and restaurants (A.J.'s -make reservations) but it was perfectly tucked away and nestled in the natural experience we wanted in Alaska. We splurged and did 'The Works' spa treatment and found it to be a very different from our other spa visits, but truly one of the most unique and relaxing. They also offer to assist in scheduling a bear viewing tour with Sasquatch Alaska Adventures and it was one of the most memorable and special experiences we had- an absolute must do. Our stay at this lovely Inn was one of the best places we visited and we felt that the value exceeded the cost. We would definitely return and can't recommend it highly enough.

Let me begin by saying that the pictures don't even do this place justice- it's gorgeous! However, if the level of customer service is any indication of how clean this place likely is, I would run in the opposite direction. First of all, I called likely a dozen times at different times of the day to reach someone at the desk to make an appointment. After not being able to reach a human by phone EVER, I emailed. They scheduled my Thermal Trio via email and in the email it asks for payment, but there was no link or way to pay. Once again, I resorted to calling and after leaving three voicemails over the course of 5 days (I was afraid they'd give our time away), a woman finally returned my call and took my payment. I should have known better by this point, but I was so excited for a little R&R in Homer and I ignored all of the red flags. The night before my appointment I was staying over the bay in a very remote bear lodge. I saw bad weather coming and reached out to the Spa despite horrible phone service to let them know that probably would need to cancel and just ask them what to do. Of course, no one answered. The next morning when it was clear that my flight back to the Kenai peninsula was going to be cancelled due to weather, I called and emailed repeatedly and could not reach anyone. No one even responded to my emails or voicemails. When I finally did arrive to Homer, I went straight to the Homer Inn & Spa. As I entered the spa, no one was there except for guests in the hot tub. A young girl finally appeared and told me to speak to Marilyn over the phone- who was incredibly passive aggressive and rude. After explaining that we reached out repeatedly and missed our time slot due to inclement weather, she finally agreed after 10 minutes of pleas to refund us 50% (which was better than nothing). We asked if she could squeeze us in and she adamantly said no- Saturdays are saved for hotel guests and it wasn't worth it to her to keep someone overtime tonight. I asked if she received any of the 20+ calls, voicemails, and emails I sent to her and she said that she "does not check the emails." Well then who does? The stress, aggravation, frustration and inconvenience about this entire experience are NOT worth it.

Such a beautiful view! Our room was comfortable with earthy decorations. However, our friends’ room has a floor lined with small stones which hurt their feet whenever they walked on it bare-footed.
What’s also strange was this: the best hang out spot by the outdoor fireplace was often occupied by staff or owners for hours. One night we could hear their chatting late into the night, and smelled their weed. Perhaps this is Alaskan hospitality..?
No one returned calls regarding spa services. When inquired in person we were told to “just look online for services”. Another staff said why not just rent the excellent massage chairs at the discounted rate of $49 since the spa doesn’t have therapists currently. On the third day though a therapist materialized and was about to start a session of massage with a guest. We were not sure what’s going on with the spa, and neither did they it seemed.

Very nice place. Quiet and peaceful. Great view of ocean from deck. Not down on the beach, but up above it by over 12 feet. No access from resort, but it can be gotten to nearby. Not a deal breaker.
Room is very spacious. Large bed with incredibly soft and comfortable sheets. Fake fireplace makes for nice soft nightlight. Unique floor is made up of wood pieces. Not perfectly even, but easy and comfortable to walk on barefoot.
Took a bit to figure out the shower controls. Kind of like trying to crack open a safe. After the initial full body blast of cold water, warm water never changed and stayed consistent throughout shower. Kind of exciting to figure out the different shower head options. Fun to watch my wife try. Large bathroom very well laid out.
Large mini fridge, microwave, coffee machine, Tea pot in room
Three remote controls in the room. 1 for TV, 1 for TV and DirecTV. 1 for the King size bed. A remote for the bed!! It was awesome!
Message yurt was great. Well worth the money. Machine messages but excellent chairs. Back and feet feel incredible and relaxed. Highly recommend!
Had a visit from hotel Kitty. Made herself at home.

I cannot say enough good things about our stay at Homer Inn and Spa. I came here with my boyfriend and another couple. Both of our rooms were incredibly comfortable and had gorgeous views. Along with the rooms, the amenities were wonderful. We took advantage and booked the Thermal Spa experience and it exceeded our expectations. I'd highly recommend doing this with your group if you stay here! The spa attendant, Lacie, was knowledgable about the experience and brought us water and tea. Another day, a friend and I rented the e-bikes and Layla did a great job in setting us up and giving us recommendations of where to go. These were so fun! Chelsea was also extremely tentative and responsive if I had any questions via text. She gave us some wonderful restaurant recommendations (you MUST go to Fresh Catch) and was very helpful during the entirety of our stay. I'm hoping to come back to Homer simply to stay at this place again.

The best hidden gem in Homer! Staying at the Homer Inn and Spa was the most relaxing experience you could ask for. Sitting in our private hot tub overlooking the water, mountains, and glaciers was unforgettable. The sound and view of the waves crashing reminded me of the oceans in California. The room was beautiful and comfortable, and staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

We loved, and were surprised by, Homer. It was an amazing experience. We hiked KAmanchek Bay State park (saw a mother and two cubs in one day and a mother and three cubs later that day)! Safe distance. We practices safe social distancing that day! Especially from the bear! Absolutely wish we had more time to ‘hang out’ at the beautiful beachfront location, hot tip, indoor/outdoor viewing area, as well as the open access to wine and tea afternoon relaxation cupboard. Totally wish. we could have taken advantage of the massage offerings (relatively reasonably priced). The n out last day, we went toHomer Northcounty Charters and caught a couple halibut (which were sent home to us!). All in all, we loved Homer, and this place was special!

We stayed for 3 nights and were celebrating our 5 year anniversary. We were greeting with champagne and had delicious homemade wine throughout our stay. Nothing beats the patio view with a cup of coffee in the morning. Paul was a great host on-site and always a text away to help us with recommendations and anything we needed for our room. A perfectly relaxing stay.
