Homer hotel

Nice quiet Homer location, beach access from hotel
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Peaceful place on the beach.

Beautiful location. Close to restuarants and places to see. It was quiet and beds were good. The place was clean, but could use a refresh. Great place to stay for beach walks and if you are lucky you will see some bald eagles.
