    Homer Smith's is an ok facility, physically, and it's in a good location. However, management's attitude about cancellations and refunds is oppressive, i.e. the manager, Matt, used a 48 hour notice period as justification to charge me for a day we did not use. When it was brought to his attention that Dockwa shows a 24 hour notice period for cancellations (a term with which we had complied), he ignored the fact and charged my card $102 anyway. Suffice to say, Homer Smith's refusal to resolve the issue fairly was unpleasant and we will not stop there again.

    Never again. We have stopped here twice a year for the last three years and we always liked it. This time, not so much. No dock hands on arrival to assist. No WiFi. Laundry room and rest rooms initially open, then locked with no security card given to us. Restrooms and laundry very dirty. Miles, the red-headed dynamo, is no longer there and it has definitely gone down hill. Sad but true, folks. Caveat Emptor!
