Detailed Reviews
You basically have 2 hotel options in Kodiak - this one was recommended to me since it’s “downtown.” It’s dated, for lack of a better word the common areas are a little dingy (but not dirty, just old), and it’s a weird layout with some rooms being inside and some accessible from the outside. That being said the room was clean, the heat worked well, I liked having a ceiling fan and the provided breakfast was pretty good. I also liked that there were actually a bunch of restaurant options within walking distance, and the Safeway and Walmart were about a 5-minute drive. I was training with the Coast Guard while I was there, so the hotel by the airport would have been much closer, but I quickly realized that staying in town and driving the 15min from town back was definitely the better option. If you’re looking for a 4-seasons experience you’ll be disappointed. But for Kodiak, AK I was pleasantly surprised and thus the 4th star.

Was in town for a business trip. Great location very friendly staff. Free shuttle from the airport. Walking distance to the harbor and to restaurants and bars. If I ever come back to Kodiak, I will stay in this hotel again.

There are lots of different opinions about the quality of the Best Western Kodiak on Trip Advisor. I travel the world and try to have realistic standards about places to stay. I found the Best Western to be an excellent value in Kodiak. Stayed in room 337 and found it to be more than adequate with a king bed, bathroom with tub/shower, fast included WiFi, and TV with lots of channels. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. I paid $20 for a taxi because I didn’t realize that van service from the airport was included. The breakfast was wonderful with eggs, ham and potatoes in addition to fresh fruit, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, etc. Essentially this is a 3 star hotel with 5 star services. Also the hotel is well located to the Alaska State Ferry and numerous good places to eat. The Covid 19 issues changes daily cleaning for multiple night stays everyone’s safety. Finally to eat a warm macadamia nut cookie when I checked in a 4:00pm with a treat. Therefore, the Best Western Kodiak gets a 5 from me!

The staff did everything in their power to keep the guest safe during the COVID-19 times. The food for breakfast was individually wrapped. How thoughtful was that! The hot food was served by a staff member. The coffee and juice dispensers had signs on them requesting that folks use a napkin to touch the pour spout. The location is perfect if you are going fishing, you can just walk to the dock and the boats.

I was not impressed with this hotel.
My first night there, the heater didn't work and after back and forth with the front desk, I had to move to a new room. The next evening, the card for my new room didn't work so when I went to get it fixed, I asked what might have happened and the front desk clerk got very snippy and snark and said "well, it probably wasn't programmed correctly." I didn't say anything - just let it go.
The breakfast was mediocre - rubber eggs do not do it for me. And the hot water they had for hot tea was coffee flavored. So my "complimentary" breakfast for the week was an English muffin.
I know it is Kodiak and a rocky island, but the parking is terrible. That was manageable until the morning I came out to go to work and the hotel shuttle was parked so close the driver side of my vehicle that I had to climb in the passenger door to get in.
The last day - I was taking my luggage out to the vehicle and accidently left my card in the room. Stopped and got a new one so I could get my remaining items. It didn't work. Went back to front desk. Got it reprogrammed. Still didn't work. Went back to front desk. Got it reprogrammed. Went back to front desk. Was pretty upset at this point. She had been programming it for the wrong room number!
Be warned...the fitness center is across the street. I didn't go use it, but I know a lot of people do so I just want to make sure you realize where it actually is.
Also, be aware, the elevator only goes to second floor and PART of the third floor. I, of course, was in the part that didn't have elevator access. So be prepared for the possibility of hauling your luggage up and down stairs.
Lastly, while the hotel was pretty clean and quiet, it is obviously getting very tired and in serious need of an update.

We apologize you were not impressed with the hotel from the breakfast to the parking, we will address these issues. For our upcoming improvements, we have new furniture and lighting arriving this Spring for all of our Queen rooms, and we will also be replacing our public area carpeting this winter.

We traveled with a group and booked three rooms, for 2 nights upon arrival to Kodiak and 1 night at departure time. We had a number of problems, most of which seem to be a result of a majorly understaffed hotel. We had a mouse in the room and it took several hours to get someone to address it (which they couldn't). We tried to eat dinner there and were told they did not have enough staff to seat us. The rooms are not easily accessible (there are no elevators in the addition and no way to reach the rooms without carrying heavy suitcases up and down stairs. They have no valet staff to take bags to the rooms (which was hard for us, as both my wife and I( had recently had back surgery). One employee said she was alone and too busy to help us and another who said there are newer hotels nearby that were newer (but fully booked) and better.

Be advised they do not clean your room daily and you are notified of this info daily . They leave a two page document of this info in your room explaining you should have known to find and read the info. Elevator does not work most the time but that’s to be expected . Breakfast is handy and desirable.

I apologize you did not have a nice experience with us. We still do have Covid-19 protocols in place to minimize the exposure between guests and staff, and rooms are cleaned for stayovers upon request with other options such as towel service. We hope to update soon as we come out of the pandemic and return to much of the same details of caring for our guests as before. The elevator was out of service for a few days until a technician flew over from Anchorage for the repair, I am sorry this occurred during your stay.

Old, smelly building, Loud neighbors above us fighting from 11pm to the morning-which we reported to the front desk and they did nothing about it because it continued happening for the 2 days we were there.Heating system did not work. They did move our room but then we had to deal with the loud neighbors. The one good thing was the breakfast, however the staff started putting food away 15 minutes before it was supposed to be put away. Pay more for the Compass hotel!

We apologize for the noise disturbance during your stay and that corrective action did not occur after the front desk spoke with the room. We have addressed the issue in the other feedback you submitted, and we are sorry for the situation from the disruptive guest.

This hotel is old but still fairly nice. The rooms are redone and they are clean and comfortable. I only have 2 complaints so far after 10 hours here. One is that there is no elevator to the 3 rd floor. I had to drag my suitcase and everything else up from the second floor. Ok not too bad but not-really acceptable especially in a Best Western. When I got in the room it was cold so I turned the heat on and by 5 am it was 57 degrees in my room. I am from Alaska and that is too cold. When I called about it they said maintenance would look at it. I finally went downstairs to the front desk and was told there is no maintenance until the PM. I was given an electric heater so I can get ready for work. I would not stay here again unless it was summer. The young man at the front desk was nice. I am going to go to Wal Mart and buy a few heaters and just let them run in the room all day.

We are very sorry your first night there were issues with your heat, and we hope the room nearby that you were moved to was much better. The room with the heat issue was serviced to fix the heat register. We do have one floor in the hotel that has a flight of stairs, and we try to offer help as needed for luggage, we are sorry it affected your stay. Happy holidays to you.
