Property is historic. Chelsea is a fabulous host and the property is just far enough away from the more touristy areas so that it is serene. That it is around the corner from Skagway Spirits Distillery doesn’t hurt either. 😉

At the White House was perfect for my brief stay in Skagway. It's within walking distance to "downtown" and all of the sights/restaurants/etc. Staff was wonderful and easy to work with. The room is quiet, clean, and comfortable. Although the building itself is old, all of the fixtures (electrical, plumbing, etc.) is updated. Highly recommended!

I can't rave enough about Chelsea and The White House. If you're coming into Skagway to stay for a day or two, this is a location to check out. It's down the street enough to avoid some of the cruise ship passenger mob, while still easy walking to prime spots on Broadway, the main drag. Chelsea will make your stay that much better with her willing, cheerful assistance. While there, don't miss Husky Tales on 5th to meet an Iditarod champion and cuddle husky puppies and Aurora Yarns of Alaska for the most amazing wool in the world from Musk Oxen.

The room had a comfy bed. The service was great. They watched our bags for us after we checked out so we could explore for a few more hours before our flight out. The only reason this gets a 4 is because the bedding and furnishings are old and show wear and tear considering the price you pay for the room. Would definitely stay here again.
