"Location was central to downtown Juneau with dining & shopping options nearby. Our corner suite on the upper floor had a nice water view and was not too noisy. Bed was comfortable and living area quite spacious. Staff were friendly and helpful. Fitness center was small but functional."
"The building was certainly old, but after getting past first impressions, we were quite satisfied with the room. For a bed and a shower, it's the best value in town!"
"Property is in middle of renovating some of the other guest rooms, but that should not stop you from staying here. Staff is super helpful and very friendly. Rooms are spacious, beds are very comfortable!"
"From check in to checkout our experience there was phenomenal. They were super receptive on the phone to answer questions about their shuttle service. We even had to do a very early morning shuttle at 3 AM for our flight and they accommodated that early time AND included offering us homemade breakfast burritos to take with us because we would be missing the continental breakfast. They had an enormous assortment of snacks and fresh fruit offering bottles of water and free coffee and tea for the entire day as well. We ordered takeout food for dinner and she provided us with plates, napkins, and utensils to enjoy that in the dining room. It was lovely to sit on the front porch and just watch cars go by as well as I could hear bald eagles in the background and ravens in the trees. Beautiful property very clean and probably the best place I’ve ever stayed."
