Best Western Kodiak Inn and Convention Center

I stayed here during Christmas week, as I was in town to visit my Coastie son. The room definitely did not look as nice as the photos, but it was clean, warm and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and the insulated blackout curtains really kept the drafts out. That was important because the room (135) opened to the outside. If I were staying again, I would ask for a room in the main building that opened to an interior hallway. We had dinner in the Chartroom on Christmas Eve. We were glad it was open because most of Kodiak was closed. The food is good and the service was excellent. My son often came from the station for the Wednesday night burger special. All week, when people asked where I was staying, they said “good choice” when I told them the Best Western. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Kodiak. less

We spent two nights. Our room was nice but needed some maintenance. The strange light switch would turn lights on in the middle of the night with no one near it. Some of the sheetrock work was pretty rough. Our room, 127, was near the outdoor benches where the smokers sit. It smelled pretty strong of smoke when we first went it. Staff was very nice. The breakfast was very good. Location is great. All in all a very nice place to stay. But, our room could definitely use some TLC. less

BW is in the best location near the center of town, accross from the harbor. Rooms are nice and include fridge, microwave. There restaurant-lounge has high quality food for dinner and a wide range of choices for a complimentary breakfast. Transportation from airport: taxis ride is about $20, Lyft was $15. There are no grocery stores within walking distance but McDonalds and a few other places are close. For fisherman, they will hold fish for you in a freezer. for those interested to buy fish you can walk to Island Seafoods down the street. I stayed at another hotel also-this hotel was better. Rooms sell out, so consider planning ahead. less

Always enjoy staying here as it is clean! The staff are super helpful and friendly. I stay here about 2 weeks out of the year total and they never disappoint. Continental breakfast is the best selection. less

Seems like in the last 3 years, I've found myself in Alaska for business reasons. For a business traveler, consistency and standardized service and amenities are important. Best Western in Kodiak checks all these blocks. Customer service. All employees are versed in meeting customer's needs as much as they can. Front desk inquiries are handled well. House staff are efficient. Wait staff are specially superb. Shuttle service available though I didn't use it. Breakfast. The best part of the stay. It is a hot breakfast and not some heated pre-prepared food items. Meat items are rotated daily. Plenty of selection on juices, bread, cereal, fruits. No service/buffet style pick up your plate and clean up after yourself. Staff are quick to refill entrees when running low. Location. Can't beat the location. The town square/strip mall if you may is less than 5 minute walk. Plenty of restaurants and shop on this town square. Cross the street and down a set of stair is the boat marina. Turn right on this marina street are fresh seafood to order and ship to take home some of Alaska's bountiful seafood. Same street as the hotel is the town brewery and a Mcdonalds, your 1 of 2 fast food place other than a Subway. Restaurant. The same breakfast area doubles up as a restaurant at night. It seemed to be always packed. I had 2 dinners out of my 4 night stay and they have the best halibut Fish and Chips in Kodiak. Service was great, Others. WIFI was strong everywhere. The lobby was adorned with your usual taxidermy of bears and local wildlife. A gym was across the street. Room. I had a huge King with a hot tub. It was clean but looked dated. The room was unusually warm even if it was cool outside. A ceiling fan was kept on all the time and seemed to be not enough and I had to use a portable fan provided. The blackout blinds were helpful as sunset was at around 8pm. It was well furnished with a sofa, a few ottoman and a plush chair. There was a small fridge and a coffee maker. I will most likely return to Kodiak and will certainly book the Best Western again. less
