Pros:

Η τοποθεσία

Cons:

Η στενότητα των δωματίων και ότι στο μπάνιο δεν υπήρχε ντους με καλώδιο, οπότε αναγκαστικά έπρεπε να βρέξεις το κεφάλι σου! Καλό είναι να προστεθεί.... Αυτό το πρόβλημα υπάρχει σε όλα τα ξενοδοχεία ΗΠΑ Καναδά, αλλά ευτυχώς σε μερικά υπάρχει κινητό ντους!

Pros:

Η τοποθεσία!

Cons:

Πολύ στενό δωμάτιο! Δεν υπήρχε χώρος για τη βαλίτσα, η οποία ήταν μικρή (χειραποσκευή μόλις 7 κιλά ). Στο μπάνιο δεν υπήρχε ντούς με καλώδιο, όπως γενικά σε ΗΠΑ & Καναδά, αλλά θα μπορούσε να προστεθεί, όπως έχει γίνει σε κάποια ξενοδοχεία!

Cool Historical Hotel in Great Location
Pros:

I love the decor and character of this hotel - I can tell it’s in the hands of someone who really places value on maintaining the antique aesthetic of the place, and it felt very much like being in a historical old saloon. The location was perfect, and having the bar adjacent made it easy to meet other people.

Cons:

I do think the rooms would benefit from a more detailed cleaning (ie: sweeping under the bed/cleaning the windows/dusting top of surfaces every once in a while because there’s definitely build-up) but the important things like sheets and shower were clean. Especially for the value, it’s a great place to stay!

Bar was cool and has music until 2:00 AM. If you need to get up early you may not sleep well.
Pros:

We liked the historical aspect

Cons:

The bathrooms and kitchens were very old and many areas needed repair. Also, some windows did not close.
No elevator

Ricco di fascino
Pros:

Eravamo già stati una settimana prima e siamo tornati, dopo un breve tour di 5 giorni.
Si tratta di un hotel storico, risalente ai primi del 900 ricco di fascino; anche se non è il Grand Hotel, siamo stati bene

Classic authentic old Alaskan
Pros:

Place is economical for Juneau and in a perfect location! Supposedly haunted but I didn’t experience any ghosts. It’s not fancy, rather authentic old Alaskan. Super fun.

Cons:

Nothing negative to say

Il fascino della storia
Pros:

Si tratta di una struttura risalente al 1913, iscritta nel registro dei locali storici Usa, con l’innegabile fascino dei fasti della corsa all’oro.
Non ha certamente i vantaggi degli hotel a 5 stelle, ma il suo fascino non ha prezzo….la camera era sufficientemente spaziosa e pulita, dotata anche di una piccola cucina ben attrezzata e silenziosa.
Ricordo che in quanto edificio storico non ha ascensore (ma è abbastanza comune in Alaska).
Lo staff gentile e disponibile.
Noi abbiamo fatto un primo periodo, poi abbiamo fatto un’escursione di 5 giorni e siamo tornati prima del rientro in Italia

I’ll stay here again for sure
Pros:

It’s right downtown. It’s a funky old historic building with a great vibe. Walking distance to everything. Very “Alaskan”. It isn’t fancy, but it’s cozy and fun.

Only if you on other choice.
Pros:

This hotel is old and amenities are non existent.
No elevator. No air conditioning. Hotel claims water is not safe to drink but does not offer at least one complimentary water bottle.
The spring mattress is terrible, worn out and broken. Not a relaxing experience.
The toilet and the shower light are super noisy. Musty odor in the room.
The carpet has nails sticking out which is very dangerous. Parts of the carpet are cut out and patched with fraying sides.
There is a kitchen with an oven and range however there are no dishes. No pots nor pans so how are we supposed to use it.
Many hotels will consider one hour complimentary late check out. This one doesn’t.
The staff is basically indifferent and the music from the bar that is part of the hotel is loud and obnoxious.
We understand it’s a historical building but other than elevator and air conditioning they could have done a better job on the interior of the room and what they offer to allow a pleasant stay.
