Location & Nearby Places

The hotel is especially close to the Alaska State Capitol (124 m) and the Juneau-Douglas City Museum (160 m), with the Alaska State Museum also nearby (418 m). For waterfront and tour access, Gastineau Channel is about 691 m away, and the Goldbelt Tram/Mt. Roberts area is roughly 716 m away with Mount Juneau about 2.0 km away. Farther afield, guests can reach Eaglecrest Ski Area (6.8 km) and popular glacier stops including Mendenhall Glacier (17.5 km), Nugget Falls (15.9 km), and the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center (15.2 km).

Best for

This hotel best suits travelers who want a walkable downtown Juneau base near the Alaska State Capitol, local museums, and the Mt. Roberts/Goldbelt Tram area. It’s also a strong pick for guests who value personable service and a relaxing end-of-day soak, thanks to the rooftop hot tub and lounge spaces.

Travel tips

If you’re planning to ride the Goldbelt Tram or explore the Mt. Roberts area, the hotel is about 0.7 km away—easy to fit in without a long transfer. Downtown highlights like the Alaska State Capitol (124 m) and the Juneau-Douglas City Museum (160 m) are close enough to visit on foot between activities. For Mendenhall Glacier, Nugget Falls, and the Visitor Center (roughly 15–17.5 km away), plan transportation in advance since they’re well outside the downtown core.

What guests say

Reviews consistently emphasize exceptionally friendly, helpful service from the owner and staff, including local recommendations. Cleanliness and overall comfort are frequently noted, along with the property’s unique, quirky character and individually different rooms. The breakfast setup—especially good coffee and healthier options—comes up as a memorable plus. The rooftop hot tub (and multiple hot tubs across levels) is a recurring highlight, and the downtown location is praised for easy access to restaurants, sites, and nearby trails.
