Great location, reasonable prices, very clean and the staff was extremely accommodating, especially for early hours to leave on our tour the next day. The coffee and snack bar in the lobby was an added bonus of convenience. Walkable to many restaurants and a beach and a short drive from the spit. Would stay again.

I have stayed in Homer many times and somehow missed this gem. The staff were helpful. The property has beautiful views right off the beach. The room was comfortable and there were multiple dining options nearby. We’ll be staying here on our next trip.

Be prepared to share a bathroom
I was not aware there were shared bathrooms. The bed was a bunk bed that didn't allow me to setup in bed. There were no instructions for accessing the TV channels.

Enjoyed the character of the hotel, though not offering the largest of rooms, everything was clean, lobby was quaint. Bathrooms shared but clean. Pleasant staff.

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.

Hotel room with a wonderful EARTHQUAKE experience!
Experienced a 7.1 magnitude EARTHQUAKE that lasted a whole minute! Everything in the hotel room was rocking and rolling. Very exciting, and the building was without damage. Highlight of my stay, plus the staff was very very friendly.
