Wonderful Stay with Stunning Views in Homer Spit

I spent two nights at this beautiful hotel right by the water in Homer Spit. The owner is a genuinely friendly and helpful person who made the stay even more enjoyable. My room was exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated, with an incredible view. I truly enjoyed my visit and will definitely return. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.
