I have stayed at the Comfort Inn twice. Once in September of 2010 and once in September of 2007. In both cases the purpose of the trip was to fish for Silver Salmon from the Kodiak road system. One of the great advantages to the Comfort Inn is that it is adjacent to the Buskin River, one of the best rivers for silvers and Dolly Varden Trout. It is very nice to be able to put on your waders and walk to the water!

The staff is friendly and accomadating. Somehow we got booked into a smoking room from the Comfort Inn Website. The hotel was completely full. However, knowing that one of the incoming guests, booked to a non-smoking room, was really a smoker they were able to put us in a non smoking room after one night.

The "continental" breakfast is pretty good. The is a good choice of hot and cold foods. Enough to fill us up for a day of fishing.

The best deal in the restaurant in the evening is a large pizza. Enough for 4. If split between two, it is enough for lunch on the river the next day.

A note to everyone. Kodiak is an island. In Alaska. Things in Alaska are more exspensive than in the lower 48. Kodiak is a one hour flight or a 30 hour ferry ride from mainland Alaska. Things are more exspensive in Kodiak.

We stayed one night, August 19th and had planned to stay two. It is located next to airport and you need a car to get to see/experience anything. This Hotel should not charge $180....that is crazy....BUT had to, since I have never been to Kodiak and need to start somewhere. Bad Mistake. Best Western was sold out...that is downtown and you could walk to ALL from there.

Airport shuttle is old blue van...but you can also walk to hotel....is two blocks away.

Staff was nice.

Free Breakfast was OK. Had to make own waffles (no directions on how), ran out of cream cheese for bagels and egg dish consisted of everything (sausage/hash/?/and ?). THIS, for a room rate of $180 ???

When we arrived in Kodiak we stayed in town at the Best Western. Wish now that we had stayed at the Comfort Inn and either paid the cabfare, or rented a car to explore the town.

The hotel is clean, well cared for, and comfortable. Didn't notice any noise from the airport, which is in walking distance. The staff is GREAT! They don't have a guest computer for internet use, but the lady at the front desk was more than accommodating when I asked about a computer to confirm my plane reservations. She did it for me!

The continental breakfast in their restuarant was excellent. The restuarant serves good meals in the evenings--if quite pricey, as are all things on Kodiak Island. I guess when all supplies come in by plane or by boat, you have to expect prices to be higher.

We stayed at the Comfort Inn for two nights while we went bear viewing (which was wonderful, see my review of Kingfisher Aviation). Kodiak doesn't have a lot of hotel choices, but next time I'll stay in town (five miles away). The Comfort Inn is across the street (100 yards) from the airport terminal. The room was comfortable, but more motel than hotel. The noise of airplanes is obvious (but luckily there aren't many flights in and out of Kodiak). The room did have a refrigerator and a microwave, but no safe. The complimentary breakfast was very good. The most significant negative is the Inn's location. Although only five miles from the town center, a taxi costs an incredible $25.00 each way. Everything costs a lot on Kodiak Island, but $50.00 to go 10 miles roundtrip is extortion.
