Baranof Downtown, BW Signature Collection
"The connecting room had little blockage of the sound from noisy neighbors. The neighbors were noisy late at night and early in the morning. Staff did nothing to alleviate. The neighbors didn't answer the door nor quiet when knocking on the door."

"The staff was awesome and really loved the feel of the place you could see the history in it"

Waterfront on Glacier
"The place is been renovated and a work in progress. Room was excellent but no ice machines or ice trays yet. We’re told that would be fixed. The view comes with road noise but worth it. Would stay again once renovations are completed."
