    clean room
    peaceful vibe

    Charming, charming, charming.

    I had such a good experience! The one queen room was cozy, clean, and had a lovely private bathroom-what a luxury! The vibe was peaceful, and being just a short stroll away from local coffee shops and the harbor made it even better.

    would recommend 🥰🌟

    charming decor
    historical ambiance
    accessible lounge
    bathroom facilities
    inaccessible shower

    The charming decor made me feel like a time traveler! The antique furnishings and historical ambiance were delightful, and I appreciated the warm, inviting lounge area, which was easily accessible for seniors.

    Need better bathroom facilities for senior guests.

    lacking cleanliness

    The rooms were small but cozy, with amazing views and a fun communal kitchen! Loved the historical charm but the cleanliness was lacking compared to what was advertised.

    ideal location
    local activities
    unique charm
    lack of family accommodations

    The location was ideal for our family with two girls, allowing us to easily explore the surrounding area. We enjoyed local activities like hiking, which the kids loved! The hotel also holds a unique charm, adding to our Alaskan adventure.

    My kids wished there were better family accommodations. A private bathroom would have been more comfortable for the girls.

    brilliant location
    unique character
    clean facilities
    dirty toilet seat
    cracked sink

    The location is brilliant, making it easy to walk to nearby attractions like the sealife center and local parks. I appreciated the unique character of the decor, which truly gave a glimpse of history. The shared facilities were clean and accessible, although the room itself had some issues, such as a dirty toilet seat and a crack in the sink. Despite these hiccups, the staff was very friendly and allowed us to check in early, which was a plus.
