Baranof Downtown, BW Signature Collection
"Clean but outdated. The room had a good view"

Alaskan Hotel and Bar
"Nobody told me I needed a code for shared bathroom. Not fun in middle of night. Still don’t know where shower was. Room was noisy with snoring next door and folks walking around late. Curtain didn’t block light from street. I’m too old for this kind of place."

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."
