Kake Vacations from $981

First trip to Sitka, and I'm so glad we stayed at Sitka Hotel! Staff was so helpful, and the room was clean. The tv or electric burners weren't working. There were only three outlets, so I recommend bringing a power strip. I loved how it was located in downtown, so walking to most things was very convenient. When we were tired, it was easy to rest and then head out again. I really liked staying at the Sitka Hotel and definitely would again.

The hotel may have rebranded to the Southeast Resort, but it is an old hotel. The refrigerator shell was broken. The room just looked tired. The elevator was extremely slow. The bathtub wasn't really clean and there was someone else's long hair clinging to the shower curtain, yuck. On the positive side the bed was quite comfortable, and the hotel location is right by downtown and close to tourist areas.

This is an older facility but maintained well. We were allowed to check in early due to a no show situation in our room the previous night. We were leaving a fishing lodge earlier than the 3:00 PM check in time. The clerk also offered to keep our luggage until the room was available. There is no elevator and we had heavy luggage. The clerk offered to help get it up the stairs, but we declined. The mattresses were in good condition and comfortable. This hotel is very close to shops and restaurants and there are food trucks right beside the facility. The room rates are high in my opinion, but this is Alaska and all the room rates at every hotel are high. There are multiple hotels in Sitka and I personally would check out them out on a returning trip mainly to the lack of an elevator.

Very helpful and prompt

Room was excellent. It seemed new or nearly new. Bathroom was very clean. It has a kitchen, which was also very clean. Loved the comfortable mattress, but I like fluffy, pillow top soft mattresses. For a remote place in Alaska, this hotel is probably the cleanest and best I have personally experienced at this price point. Airport shuttle provides free ride. Two-three blocks to tour busses at Harrigan Centennial Hall. Hotel has no restaurant. Highlander coffee shop is updated, clean and modern and is located directly across the street...also Wildflower Cafe and Bakery for food and drinks, but it is closed on Monday and Tuesdays. They are not kidding about the best burger at Sitka's Burger and Crab Shack, also across the street. Amazing bun. I had the Sitka burger and loved it. Worth the wait in line. Go at 11:30am and maybe no line. Residents don't like tourists to jaywalk...it may be dangerous. Take a left out of the front entrance and walk to the crosswalk. For dinner, I recommend Bayview Pub a couple block walk from the hotel. Suburb homemade New England clam chowder and also the halibut filet was thick, amazing, and fresh. We decided not to get anything breaded on the menu, except we splurged with sweet potato fries, which were delicious. If you like hiking, get a ride to the trail to Beaver Lake in the Tongass...about a two-to-three-hour hike, close to town. Don't miss Fortress of the Bear. Bears have three habitats including wilderness to romp and roam.
