We visited Homer in August of 2022. Driftwood was cozy and home-like. It seems to be family run. Homer is gorgeous. If you go there, the Driftwood Inn is a good choice.

The staff was pleasant, but the property itself is dated, small, and really was one of my last choices… unfortunately we were desperate for lodging, having taken our trip to Homer spontaneously on a whim and almost everything else was sold out for the night.

The floor in room 6 was so uneven it left a huge gap under one end of the door and left you feeling unbalanced when getting out of the super high bed. The bedding was clean and soft but the picture over the bed was not covered in glass and had spots on it.

Since the building we were staying in was populated by a large extended family that pretty much took over the entire first floor and most of the second we felt like we were living in someones house. Not the most comfortable stay.

Nice historic hotel near the beach
This historic hotel is not fancy, but well kept and quaint. I liked relaxing on the back porch and taking a morning walk along the beach just down the hill a very short distance. The bunk beds worked great for the kids but I wouldn’t recommend them for adults. Staff is friendly, helpful and always have a fresh pot of coffee brewing in the main lobby. There’s a coffee maker in the room too. Restaurants and attractions are close by foot or car. I’d happily stay here again and my family says I’m way too picky.

Nice hotel with great Eateries close by.
This was a new hotel experience for me. It advertised "shared bathroom" so I wondered how that would work. It worked fine. Two bathrooms were at the end of the short hall. , not next to your room. There is no continental breakfast available. However, very nice, busy restaurants are near by. The double bed was just fine for me. Although, it was so high from the floor I climbed into bed with difficulty..

Thank you for you feedback; it is a bit like going back in time with our rooms here at the historic inn.

Hope to see you again next year:)

Location, Location, Location!
It is hard to review the accommodations at Driftwood because there are many different options. I spent one night in a tiny converted trailer which was fairly nice except for water/hot water issues. My second night was in a basic upstairs room in the main building. It had bunk beds and shared restrooms. Both rooms were clean and comfortable. Room rates are low for Homer but, beyond coffee, nothing is free. The property is virtually on the beach with a great view of the fjords.

Convenient Location
I arrived on a Friday and checked out on Monday. Although the room was very small, it does have a private bathroom. It was sufficient for leaving my stuff for the day while I was out doing activities. There is a refrigerator in the guest reception area, so that was helpful since I pack picnic lunches for the day.
