Fun place to stay

The room was fun with the loft. Would be great with kids. Could use some better lighting at the bedside to be able to read a book. Breakfast was just what we needed.

A great family stay

This was one of our favorite stays on our family trip to Alaska. The location was great, it was set up perfectly for meeting other travelers. It was super close to almost everything in the downtown area. The loft areas offered in some rooms are great for kids. The breakfast every morning was delicious

Great unique b and b type of place. Self check in was great. Great views, nice staff. Just wish check in wasn’t so late (5pm) and check out so early (10am), but they did let me in early and said I could hang out after 10am so that worked out, in the end… Great vibe.
