This place is a very affordable option in the heart of downtown, but the issue is that it can be EXTREMELY noisy due to loud music from the bar downstairs LATE into the night. The problem is that the music somehow resonates and amplifies through the walls, producing headache inducing bassy noise, often up to 1 am. This makes some rooms (the ones prone to this noise) essentially unsuitable for habitation. If you're lucky enough to get a room where you can't hear the noise, then the hotel interiors are charming and quaint.

Mattress was soft and lumpy in a bed that had bowls around its legs, possibly to deter bugs. It was terribly warm in late morning and couldn’t control the temperature or open a window. Also, there were no drinking glasses in the room. We climbed up 3 flights of stairs with our luggage. Not for mess a 70 year old! Location in downtown Juneau was good.

Leaving Cob webs and mold is not keeping authenticity of hotel. It was dirty, needed polished, and maintained. The bar was fun and nostalgic, but also needed work. Only place I visited in Juneau that I didn't feel safe.

This is a hotel above a bar. The building is old and historic. If you want tone in downtown and near lots of restaurants the location is great. But if you don’t want to be close to the cruise ship area this is not the hotel for you. The rooms are small which should be expected in an historic hotel. I stayed Friday and Saturday night so the music from the bar was quite loud well past midnight. The hotel is cheap compared to others in the downtown area, so costs and location are the two selling points. The staff was very good and helpful as well.

The hotel is a historic hotel. I knew that when I booked. The bar was cool and vintage, but the hotel room was terrible. The window could not open and there is no ac. The sheets were so thin you could see through them. The comforter was falling apart. There were terrible smelling plug ins to cover the old smell. There is not a bathroom in the rooms. And the bartender was rude, even saying "f ing tourist" to my friend I was traveling with. I would have left if I could have found another room so late.

We expected it to be old but there was LAYERS of dust on items in out room such as the fan. Also you have to have a key card to get in to the building and the instructions to get in are at the front desk...inside the building... be prepared to check in with the bartender next door

This hotel should not be in operation. When I read the previous reviews I am just absolutely amazed that people liked this place! The bedding was almost see through, the top quilt was shredded on the underside. It smelled sooo bad and the plug ins they use made it worse! We had to share a toilet and shower with the whole floor, none of which was disclosed when booking. The bar blasted music until late and you could hear it on the 2nd floor. Windows did not open and no fans were provided. The bartender was rude and cursed me when he couldn’t hear my order properly for the loud music, called me an effing tourist. DO NOT stay here!!

Historical but worth it
It was an interesting stay. This is not a hotel for someone seeking a cookie-cutter room. There are shared bathrooms and showers, but there is a sink in the rooms. Even though I stayed on the hottest nights Juneau experiences, it was still a good night. Staying there felt like staying in history -- one could get a good sense of life 100 years ago or more. The staff was helpful and it was nice to have a hotel right in the middle of things.

Crappy old room with nothing at all to recommend at all. Would not use Expedia to book or follow their recommendations. It was a horrid experience. Felt like I was afraid of catching something. DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL.

The room was clean and the employees friendly. The hotel is old and smells. The room was very warm and the windows wouldn’t stay open without being propped open. Due to the necessity of keeping the windows open, the noise from the street came right in and lasted until 2 am. The shared bathroom was clean but old and uncomfortable.
