A great place to stay
Pros:

A great place to stay! The hotel combined two of the officer's quarters from Fort Seward to make a beautiful building. While the building is from the early 1900s, it is beautifully maintained. The owner is very helpful - he went so far as to dig out a socket wrench to help me with an errant piece of photo equipment. Would definitely stay here again.

Pros:

The owner Jeff and I were talking and he knew I was leaving for the ferry back to Seattle the next morning, but I had the incorrect time. He personally came to my room to tell me to please double check. I would have missed it had he not saved me. Thank you so much.

This is customer service 100%. Jeff I cannot thank you enough. Great stay. Clean and quiet.

Pros:

This is a great historic property. The old buildings are very well kept and clean. The check in clerk was very friendly and informative.
The views over the ocean a fantastic on a nice day. The deck areas or parade square are a nice place to have your coffee and enjoy the day.

It is far from chic or modern but thats what makes it unique.

Pros:

It would have been great to have food options there but apparently that is a thing of the past.

There is zero ambiance. While it is an old and charming hotel There is no possibility of interacting with any of the other guests. Just made it seem like I was the only person there.

Very kind attentive people innkeeper.

Good central location if that is important to you. It is one of several buildings that apparently were part of the fort seward housing and this one just happens to have been converted to a hotel

Pros:

There aren’t many options in Haines for an overnight stay. The property is historic and has tons of character, however it is in desperate need of some repairs.

The manager was outstanding!! He had immense knowledge of the local area to include dining options and areas to see during our short stay.

Overall, if you don’t have your standards high, it will be fine. It’s a great place for a night or two and offers a chance to stay in an historical property.
