I travel a fair amount and I can't say enough good things about this place. Clean, comfortable, amazing location and amazing service. I am in the hospitality business and I can say the service here is top notch. I would stay again and I would recommend it to people I know. It's an old building but they have done an amazing job keeping it up and adding fun touches to the room. This is the kind of place I would look for in a town like Ketchikan, it's a piece of history.

First off, location is perfect - it's within easy walking distance of so many wonderful little shops, and right across the street from the dock and visitor's center. It's a historic hotel, and I found that charming. That being said, it's a historic hotel. If you're there for a decent night of sleep or a shower, you might consider elsewhere. Our stay started with being unable to open the room door. The electronic key worked, but the door would not budge. The gentleman from the front desk had to come body slam it open and slam it shut. The door apparently had swollen a bit and needs to be shaved down. Every time we needed in or out, we had to forcefully throw a shoulder into it, HARD, or slam it shut. Bathroom door - same. The rooms use a radiator type of heat, and when the boiler is working, prepare for 15-20 minutes of loud, rhythmic banging of the pipes, a little 15 minute break or so, and then another round of loud banging, followed by some blessed quiet, then a round of clicking from the radiator itself. Once that finally settled down, every time a neighbor used the plumbing, the whooshing of the water pipes started in. The bathroom is also rather historic. I have never used such a small shower, including in an RV. There's room to step in, but not to raise your arms to lather or rinse hair. The shower nozzle is moveable, but does not stay in position, so if you're a medium height bather, prepare for water shooting into your eyes, while the water alternates between shockingly cold and scalding without warning (and you can't escape because the stall is two feet square). Honestly this was possibly the most comedic shower of my life, what with all the yelping, elbow banging, maneuvering and cursing. The bathroom area allows another six square feet, which is mostly taken up by the toilet and a pedestal sink, so it was another comedy trying to get dressed. Possibly the worst night of sleep I've ever had in a hotel, but Ketchikan is absolutely beautiful. I'd just never again stay here.

Questions & Answers

I have a reservation for 2 nights in August before taking a float plan to Karta Lake. Do the rooms have safes? I am bringing 2 handguns and I want to keep them secured. Second, how do I catch the shuttle from the airport?

There are no safes in most rooms. You can call the hotel to arrange having your property secured
