    Good location, very helpful staff. The historic elements of the building were pretty cool, though not fancy. Walls can be thin, so hopefully you have a quiet neighbor.

    Honestly for a old building so I heard the walls having cracks. Make it look like it had history. I'd definitely stay again. To some people it may look trashy but it just gives it character

    Slightly musty smell to place. Long haul to top floor with bags (No elevator).

    Loved the downtown Juneau location and history around hotel, its origin and its "haunting." Room was of better quality than expected given 2-star rating. Granted I had mini-kitchen and private bath, unlike most guestrooms. Secure and safe access with electronic lock to lobbies.

    Pretty no frills, bathroom wasn’t attached. Property is older, but it’s perfect if you just need a place to sleep and shower.

    Great location right downtown, awesome fun bar directly downstairs.

    We stayed in the suite with its own bathroom and kitchenette which was great but the rooms are old and the walls are thin.

    Historic 1913 building in the middle of downtown with a fun old saloon type bar with live entertainment.

    The pic. of the places was nicer than the place itself. When I look out the only window in the room and all I see is knotweed. I got the room with a stove, sink and microwave. So that I could cook my own food instead of eating out all the time, but there were no pans or any dishes. in the room and when I asked about getting the things, I needed so I could cook in and eat on I was told that the stove and sink was just for show. I was disappointed..

    I like that it was right downtown, and everything was walking distance.

    We were in it placed in a room which no one should inhabit. Fortunately a better room was available although it did not reflect the advertised picture either.

    We loved the ambiance of the hotel. Walking back in time and very well preserved. Most of the staff were lovely.

    Need earplugs due to bar entertainment. Nowhere to sit in room. Seems like people live in hotel - sort of a bad hostel vibe. Everything was not exactly clean or exactly dirty. Just a really weird expensive experience.

    Property had hot water and held luggage. Location was good. Solid 1 star hotel and over priced.

    Unique experience in Juneau

    Room felt old and a bit run down. Bathroom and showers were down the hall and were not the cleanest or most spacious. (I understand this has to do with the historic nature of the building.) The bar downstairs is a lot of fun but note that on Wednesdays it is karaoke night and you will most likely hear it right inside your room (I opted to join in the fun instead of trying to block it out). Odd, but the room had no hangers and the staff told me they did not have any when I asked for some .

    Perfect location for exploring downtown Juneau. Easy to walk to all of the downtown attractions as well as plenty of options for booking further away excursions. Room was spacious enough and had its own sink in the room which was helpful. Very cool, historic building with an active bar just below.

    The shared bathroom was dirty. There were several days of no soap or paper towels. The floors were not vacuumed or swept. The rooms are above the bar, which we knew and expected. What we didn’t expect was the pot shop next door. The smell from the shop and it’s customers permeated the entire hotel. If you are scent sensitive beware.

    The hotel is quaint and historic. The location was both good and bad….downtown with all it’s history, excitement and energy. The bed was very comfortable.

    We stayed two nights and the shared toilets and showers did not get cleaned during that time. There were the same wet towels on the shower floor the whole time. Both the toilet paper and hand paper towels ran out. When I asked the girl at the reception desk for more her initial response was it was not her job and we would have to wait until the next day when the housekeepers arrived. She eventually restocked them after some coaxing.

    The hotel is right in the middle of town so very convenient. But being in the middle of town it can be a bit noisy if they are playing music down the road where you get the crepes and tacos. The hotel is charming Victorian style and the room itself was fine. The bed was comfortable and there was enough room to lay our bags out.

     The rooms smelled pretty bad, there hasn’t been any type of upgrade in a very long time. The beds were semi-comfortable.

    You can tell the hotel has been standing for a very long time which is impressive. Our flight came in late at 12:30 a.m. and the staff hung out until we checked out even though the bar had closed.

    Loud music until 11pm on Saturdays and Sundays, bar open to 3am so lots of noise. It was unusually hot in Juneau so we had to have the windows open. No hotel has ac in Juneau thoigh.
