Stay for the pleasant interaction with the staff and incredible location.
Pros:

The staff at the hotel was exceptional. They went above and beyond to ensure I had a pleasant stay. The location is incredible. You are only a few moments away from walking to any restaurant, shopping, tourist destination in the downtown Juneau area. Local community was great.

Cons:

The building is historic and reflects its age, so bear that in mind. If you like historic buildings with character this will add value to your experience.

Neat historic hotel, but sleeping is difficult.
Pros:

Location was convenient to shops, restaurants and cruise docks. The staff was nice, the historic vibe is fun.

Cons:

Do not come to this hotel to sleep, I’d read the reviews, I’ve stayed at lots of questionable places in past, and I was staying on a Sunday/Monday night, how bad could it be? Well, music is thumping every night til 2am, you can hear every conversation of all neighboring rooms, you can hear every door shut, every footstep, every shower start, ear plugs are not enough. Might be Ideal spot for someone that wants to drink in the bar til 2am and stumble to your room after. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Pros:

Great location, great ambiance, friendly staff.

Cons:

The room wasn't as clean as I would have liked. Was a little loud Wednesday night due to karaoke in the bar downstairs.

Perfect place to stay the night in Juneau
Pros:

We were going on a cruise with Uncruise so the location for a night stay over was perfect - right in the middle of town restaurants really close. The beds were also surprisingly comfortable. We had a back room and even though there was a karaoke night we didn't hear a thing.

Cons:

Room was small but was all we needed but overall a perfect place to stay the night.

The worst hotel I stayed in for my entire life
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Too old. Smell bad. The room is too small. Didn’t have the hair dryer. I asked the front desk but he said the hotel was fully booked so no hair dryer. I had to use the fan to dry my hair. Next morning I asked again and the room cleaner gave me a hair dryer but it didn’t work so I used the fan again. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Pros:

Me permitieron hacer el ingreso temprano.

Cons:

No te ayudan con tus maletas, no hay ascensor, y por la noche y madrugada se escucha el ruido de los vecinos de arriba, el rechinar de la cama.

Pros:

We had a great stay and would absolutely recommend this hotel! The location is perfect—right in the heart of Juneau—and we felt very safe and comfortable throughout our stay. The price was great for the location, and the staff and room service were always kind and accommodating.

A HUGE shoutout to Mike, who truly went above and beyond for us in every possible way. He was incredibly helpful, welcoming, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. People like Mike are what make a stay memorable!

We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay in the heart of Juneau and would happily stay here again!

Overall good experience for a night.
Pros:

Loved the location. Walkable to many things.
Old/historic.
Comfortable bed.
Very affordable for summer in Alaska.
Staff was very helpful.
Wasn’t aware the hotel is considered “haunted”, until after checking in. (Glad we had a restroom in our room, so I didn’t need to walk down a potentially haunted hallway in the middle of the night.)

Cons:

Worn down. Could use a refresh & deep clean.
Floor warped.
Steep stairs. Luckily a staff member offered to carry up my big bag.

I tolerated the fumes as I wasn’t staying that long. When another room was open I got a cross breeze that helped w the t
Pros:

Location and history of the property

Cons:

It was hot and opening the window allowed diesel fumes into the room.
