Reviews for Best Western Bidarka Inn

Review 1：Food for both of us was way over cooked, BURNED. There was a party next to our room starting at about 10:00 PM and continued till about 2:30 PM. We called the front office three times with very little relief from the "OFFICE". The OFFICE kept saying that they would call the room and the noise continued. We left the next morning for the other two days of our mini vacation. The Lands End was very nice and cheaper. John Finn of Anchorage

Review 3：The room in the older section was noisier and the arrangement of closet was odd.

Review 4：The addition to the motel was much nicer than the older section. You could tell that the older section had been updated.

Review 5：The all the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, including front desk, housekeeping, and servers/kitchen staff. The continental breakfast was delicious, with quite a variety of options. The room was clean, large frig, good shower water pressure, and very comfy beds. Great location and very reasonable price.

Review 6：Convenient location on the edge of town, with good facilities typical of Best Westerns. Unfortunately cannot see the beautiful surroundings from the bedrooms, though can from the breakfast room.

Review 7：Breakfast was in a different place about 3 or 4 blocks away. We didn't mind since we had a car, but it may be inconvinient for people without a car. Breakfast was kind of limited but good.

Review 8：We liked the view from the balcony.

Review 9：There's no HVAC, so it was a bit warm. There was a small fan I could put in the window to try and pull in some cool air, but I had to use a door stop to keep it from falling off the window cill. That was kinda a bummer. I'll bet it's freezing in the winter. If I was an obeice person it would be hard to maneuver in the bathroom (very tight) like on a plane. And the TV has a lot of channels that don't come in, non movie channels

Review 10：Breakfast, the bed, and all the power recepticals in the lamps.

Review 11：There is room for improvement with wifi coverage and breakfast provided.

Review 12：Easy access to Homer spit, car parking facilities. The staff were extremely helpful and very friendly.

Review 13：Breakfast was just average.

Review 14：Clean and comfy. Spacious rooms and nice arrangement. No complaints at all. We had a great stay and friendly staff. Perfect for our bear adventure!

Review 15：Even being an Alaskan resident, the price was way over the top for the room.Homer

Review 16：The pet rooms were immaculate, they smelled fresh, the setting for the pet rooms was set back and lovely.

Review 17：Attractive rooms in excellent condition. Complimentary hot breakfast was served in a pleasant room. Staff was very helpful in securing connecting rooms to accommodate the children.

Review 18：I wished the rooms had balconys to sit outside and enjoy the great weather. For some reason I cant seem to be able to fill out all of your survey. We did bing our dogs and the property rating should all be excellent.

Review 19：Room was clean & comfortable. The free breakfast was amazing with a nice view from the dining room. The on site restaurant served very good food for dinner.

Review 20：I had a troublesome person next to our room who kept complaining because we brought our pet and every time we left she complained to the staff until they called us. It was very annoying and we missed dinner twice and didn't get to do all we wanted.

Review 21：The breakfast and view was great. The location on the hotel was perfect.

Review 22：Saw housekeeping trying to throw linens from the balcony into a laundry cart (and mostly missing.) Sure they got cleaned but it wasn't a great look.

Review 23：Awesome location, really nice staff. Good bar right on site. Also has good blackout curtains.

Review 24：Both nights of our stay, we were woken by other guests in adjacent rooms yelling and fighting. One fight was at 2:30 am between two drunk people, the other at 7:00 am between a married couple.

Review 25：Breakfast was one of the best hotel buffets in Alaska.

Review 26：Couldn't find the breakfast room - a sign outside indicating where the breakfast room was located would have been great.

Review 27：Felt like a quiet retreat.

Review 28：Lack of space, rooms were disgusting and smelled old. They had plastic bed covers on the mattresses so it made for a very noisy and uncomfortable night of sleep. Staff was ok, depending on you got at the front desk. Price was way too much for the lack of comfort and cleanliness.

Review 29：Tub did not drain (room 252) had to move to another room (250) heard traffic all night long... A truck engine ran from 11:00 PM till 2:00 AM. Kept us awake.. Every car that drove in front of the hotel (on Sterling Highway,we could hear). I was dissapointed,and think we spent too much money o the roo. My last stay there ...

Review 30：Staff,Breakfast

Review 31：When traveling on business, you want a quality bed, quality pillows, a clean room, no overwhelming smells of cover-up deodorizers or cleaning products, a friendly staff, convenience, and quiet. Got all of them. What more can be said.

Review 32：IT was Sept. and the temp.s outside in the 50's and we had to run a table unit fair just to circulate some air. We also had a spider crawl on us and that made it difficult to sleep. When we told the staff her reply was that's mother nature.

Review 33：We weren't able to use their wifi as there were "too many guests signed on"...what?! When you advertise "free wifi" make sure everyone staying at the hotel can actually use it!!!

Review 34：Clean rooms and just a short drive to the spit.

Review 83：Bathroom was very small but I don't really have any dislikes.

Review 84：Good spot for my dog to get out. I was pleasantly surprised at how clean it was. The carpet was funky but for my dog it was fine.

Review 85：The room was very clean, but there were a few smudge spots on the rim of the full length mirror and a weird mark in the screen of the tv. VERY MINOR things, but worth mentioning

Review 86：I liked how friendly the wait staff was at the breakfast buffet (and the breakfast buffet).I also liked the front desk help. For a small, extra fee we could bring our pet into the room. That was a huge bonus.

Review 87：room's floor wasn't level, some furniture rested on the wall. There was an obvious slant to the floor. The noise from the bar gave the place the feel like it was a low scale motel. There was frequent traffic with cabs and cars driving up to people standing outside the bar, they'd speak briefly and leave. It definitely seemed like drug deals.

Review 88：convenient priced right

Review 89：I really have no complaints.

Review 90：The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. I liked having a coffee maker, fridge and microwave in my room. The beds were very comfortable. I'm glad they offer smoking rooms.

Review 91：The staff at the front desk was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was clean and was pleasant for an overnight stay. It was pretty quite even though I was right next to vending machines.

Review 92：When checking in asked for a smoking room. Never informed that the roomrate would be more. Also never informed that 2 queens was more than 1queen. Solo traveler so really no need for 2 beds. I over paid by morethan $25 due to these 2 issues. Not happy!

Review 93：I had dinner the first night we got there, I had the rib eye and its a shame to screw up a good cut of meat but it was terrible. Took for ever to get our food and it was just barely warm.

Review 95：There wasn't enough light in the room and the view was lacking. The cost was quite high for one night.

Review 96：The rooms were nice and the breakfast was great! I was able to get a late checkout.

Review 97：They could not find my reservation. Lucky I had printed out my booking.com confirmation. I couldn't believe it! I think I was lucky that there was another room available. Still not sure why the booking.com reservation was not in their computer.

Review 98：Love the rooms - I think they upgraded me because they couldn't find my reservation. Love the complimentary sit down breakfast. Good food. Fantastic view! Homer is an incredibly beautiful place.
