Baranof Downtown, BW Signature Collection
Need an airport shuttle! Quiet, especially the back corner room. Good breakfast but not included. Nice to have room cleaned every day!

Travelodge by Wyndham Juneau
Maybe ten people came from my flight at 1:30pm, and the front desk lady got us all checked in to our room by 2, earlier than check in. This is the perfect option for anyone headed between flights and ferries. Staff was awesome and helpful.

Best Western Country Lane Inn
The hotel was clean and a nice condition, but beginning to show its age a little bit. The bathroom was clean with plenty of hot water. Bed was comfortable. I recall this a good standard hotel, but not luxurious.
