For an affordable stay in Kodiak, the Comfort Inn is one of your best choices. As a chain hotel, you know you can count on clean, comfortable rooms with a load of family-friendly amenities, like a refrigerator, microwave and flat-screen TV. The two-queen bed suite, with sleeper sofa, can easily accommodate a family of five. All of the standard rooms are spacious enough to not feel at all crowded. The free hot breakfast hits all the right spots, with waffles, eggs, bacon and more. Parents might enjoy the hotel’s lounge for a drink at night after a long day of sightseeing.

The Comfort Inn sits next to the airport. If you don’t want to wrangle small children across the airport parking lot, the hotel will send a shuttle to pick you up. Also nearby is the US Coast Guard Station, one of the largest such bases in the world. A few miles up the highway is the town of Kodiak, where most shops and restaurants are within a compact area. There is no shortage of fine dining establishments serving the freshest Alaskan seafood you’ve ever had. Several kid-friendly attractions are right in town, including the Kodiak Wildlife Refuge Visitors Center and the Kodiak Fisheries Aquarium. For a full day of hiking and history, Fort Abercrombie State Park is only 4 miles further down the highway. There’s plenty to do on the island, and the Comfort Inn is an affordable starting point for your Alaskan family vacation.
