Horrible Experience

I'm not leaving all the details here, but there are other choices in town. Many of them...choose elsewhere. I will be leaving the details of my horrible experience to be delt with with my husband, federal agencies and communicating with the General Manager. BUT be advised, if you have a disability, this is not where you want to be. Never have I been treated in such a discrimatory manner, not discrimited against with malice but turned away after vetting the location to protect my safety. Then mocked by the front desk attendant with her disingenous comments . She should work anywhere other than with customer service and trained how to actually speak to people with disabilities with a level of respect not disrespect. No better than, certainly not less than. We (I) just want to be treated equally and if this can't happen, don't sell teh product/service.

Very clean and accommodating to my request of ground floor. Wasn't avle to park in front of my room, but out in the parking lot a ways. Assuming it was due to the restaurant on the ground froor a few doors from our room. Staff was friendly. Room was extremely clean, but cooler. Easy check in and check and breakfast was the best we've had at other hotels.

When our fishing trip in Seward was cancelled (along with other guides shutting down for the season early) and we had to change to Homer, we were very pleased that the guide service recommended Best Western Bidarka Inn. If we stay at Homer again, we will stay here again.
