This is a place for a very specific type of traveler. My wife and I are no strangers to odd spots, which is partially why we booked this place. It is built into the side of a hill with no elevator, the hallways smell like 100 years of cigarettes, there is no AC, the showers left much to be desired, and it is on average more expensive than some other places nearby. This is what you are in for if you book here. But it also opens directly into downtown, has a rich and interesting history(HAUNTED), and is so typically Alaska it hurts. For that, it gets the stars it gets. But no, this isn’t a “”good”” hotel. Go to the Ramada if that’s what you want.

Historic, quirky hotel in downtown Juneau. Perfect location. No lift, so bit of a trek to the third floor with suitcases. Room was spacious and clean. A bit tired looking. Could have benefited from some proper curtains and a fan. No air conditioning. Bit of noise at night but nothing to write home about. Was disappointed the resident ghost didnt make an appearance.

This review is for the bar. Stopped by for a quick drink, service was quick and friendly. Wish I could have stayed longer to listen to the live music but I had to leave to catch my tour.

This is a review of the bar only.
This place is legendary and legitimate, locals drink here when tourists aren't around.
Walk in the front door, past the stage and stairs landing on your right, past the bar on your left. Greet the bartender and say you will be back for a drink in a moment. Continue walking to the back, where a game area is off to your left and the restrooms are off to your right, but go one step farther toward the wall and look on the right wall in the little alcove to the right. There are five photos.
One of those photos, sandwiched between two others, shows two adventurous Juneau residents conquering a glacier. Gander, gaze, wonder, and then return to the bar. Ask for an Amber.

Awesome staff, bar and a true alaskan hotel with a aura with personality!
Nancy Preston
An older hotel with lots of character. Clean, comfortable but small rooms. Great location. Staff were great, especially Terence on the front desk.

As a 50 year resident of Juneau, I am impressed with the current atmosphere, entertainment and overall vibe at the Alaskan. I my opinion it’s the best it’s ever been.
Sara Sallee Lang
The variety of entertainment is awesome from Salsa dancing, karaoke, drag show and live music!

The Alaskan is the #1 bar to visit in juneau. Not only are the drinks perfection but the staff and service are above and beyond. Great drinks, good conversation, beautiful people, and immaculate vibes.

Been 4 years since my last 2 month visit during Christmas under different circumstances. Took my first ever cruise and my First stop was Alaskan hotel and bar. Not much had changed but the service staff. Ran into Sarah and she set the vibe right off the bat!
Great drinks, great knowledge, sent us in the right direction, started out on the right foot!
Stopping back at the end of her shift to buy her a round 😉
Beware of the bartender at this bar and double check your receipt when you don’t pay by cash! Yesterday, I was there to sit down for a drink because I was tempted by the cool live music I could hear from the street. The bartender clearly wants to serve locals first and then steal money from tourists. Not only were conversations with her friends at the bar more important, which delayed all orders, but when I ordered a drink for $12, the next day they deducted $22 from my tab—a completely undeserved tip. Not cool.

Well located in downtown Juneau. Rooms are small and cramped with everything needed. Relatively comfortable and quite clean

Today, August 13th 11:00 AM the lady answering the phone is very inconsiderate. Won’t answer questions, put me on hold and never picks up the phone again. Called four timeS, Tells me she’s gone to call me back in about 15 minutes and never does. Won’t be back.

We had an emergency and we needed a place to stay. Due to our problem we had to change our staying date multiple times and they helped us out with that. We will be forever thankful for the help they gave us. I will always use this place if I'm ever in town again.
