Place was very spacious and clean - 2 bedrooms, living room, and kitchen. Decor is very dated, but that's ok. Building is actually an apartment building where most places have families living there - it's a bit strange, but not necessarily a problem. No amenities or hotel service since it's not really a hotel. Worked out great for us.

Smelly cat haven!
It was a nice place but the smell of cats was soooo bad! I had to stay in the bedroom where it was a bit more tolerable. No one should have to stay in a place that smells sooooo bad! There might as well have been 10 litter boxes around! Very disgusting and disappointed! Wilson's

Unexpected location (top of only building- check the history of the building on the first floor). Very basic and dated but Nice view though. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxha9T-eScc Went kayaking by the glaciers - incredible day. Go to the inn for dinner and anchor inn for breakfast.

The room was a flashback to the 1950's. The town is a one of a kind. very unique and well worth seeing. It will let all know of the monumental advances we all enjoy today! Scenery was amazing. Very worthwhile.

Good accommodations for half the cost
This was an expensive stay and the accommodations did not reflect that. Had it been half the cost, it would have been reasonable. However, for the cost, I would not expect to have to choose between water temperature and water pressure (do you want water pressure or a hot shower??) peeling paint, or need to take a lamp from one bedroom because there was no working light in the other. I’m addition I was a little annoyed to get a call because they were insisting on trying to key in my credit card prior to our arrival and having a chip, the card was declined (worked fine when it was properly run through the machine). I guess they knew the options in Whittier were limited so they decided to cash in on it.

Three night stay in August of 22
Great view! GPS took us to the condo but we had to go to another location to sign in and get the key. Ceiling fan over dining room is filthy, the only lamp in the living room needs replacing, and there was no heat as it was damp and cool outside! The bed was comfortable and the view was great!

Amazing views over the harbor and mountains! The condo could use some updating, it’s very 1960s. Check in was super easy although how to get into the building with luggage was not.

Stalin would have loved it!
The hotel is on the 14th floor of the Begich Tower which looks looks an apartment building in North Korea. I was half expecting to see a portrait of Kim Jong-Un hanging in the lobby. The room was huge with a great view but the decor was what one might have encountered at a hotel in Moscow circa 1964. The furnishings appear to have been purchased at a flea market decades ago. The toilet bowl was badly cracked and the seat was big enough only for Munchkins. The place had the charm of an Orwellian ministry.

Bear on the loose!
The view from the windows is awesome. The rooms we big and clean. The bathroom is very small with no place to put any bath toiletries. The kitchen needs to be remodeled. It’s the worst part of the room. The highlight of the stay was the brown bear we saw wondering around the condo very early in the morning.

Failure
Smelled, outdated, so many item were broke or just didn’t work or not sanitary at all, cheap items as well as not stocked with standard things. I wish I had taken pics of this place. I wouldn’t recommend it!

Tunnel entrance by car or the Alaskan railroad.
Our condo was on the 14th floor of the only building that houses all the residents of this small but friendly town. It rained all three days we were in town for the 26 Glacier boat tour. Make sure you bring your waterproof boots and rain jacket. We had to check in at the Anchor Inn restaurant down the street to pick up our keys. Be sure to check out the history of the town and visit the museum next door. It was very interesting. We had a good time.

it was spacious but that was about the only positive the unit needs some better upkeep there is a musty/sour smell in the bathroom and bedroom the blinds in the bedroom are not working properly and was extremely dusty. one of the chairs in the living room was broken but luckily we did not hurt ourselves while sitting in it. for the price we paid for 2 nights almost $450 I felt it was not good value compared to other places we stayed in Alaska on this trip unfortunately lodging in Whittier is very limited and since it was last minute decision to go there for our Alaskan trip we didn't have any options as Whittier Inn was booked up would not stay here again if we return

From our stay here we were left pretty disappointed. The internet in the room didn't work and we called the office to try to get it fixed for us. They said they were going to send someone over shortly and no one ever came. The food as the restaurant was part, but nothing special. Our room had a small kitchen in it however, the only silverware it has was one spoon and one knife. For these reasons combined is why I have rated this hotel as a disappointing experience. To be fair the view we had looking over the pier was very pretty and it seemed like they were staying on top of the disinfection of the high traffic areas.
