The staff was pleasant and the location was good. The place needs updating, it's stuck in the 70's and it's too pricey for what you get.

Pretty plain run of the mill room. Staff was very helpful in directing us to places to eat and see the next day. Even suggested we contact Frank from the list of taxi options that was suburb! Frank is a gem! Centrally located, which made it a good choice!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
There is absolutely nothing unique about this property whatsoever. There is no in-room coffee maker, no continental breakfast, very RARELY is the front desk staffed, the window coverings in the rooms are in dire need of replacing, housekeeping is by request only and then only if the message gets passed on. The only upside to the Baranof Lodge is that it is easy walking distance to downtown, the shops and restaurants. Oh, and the airport shuttle is appreciated. We paid a hefty amount for a 5-night stay at this hotel with almost nothing in the way of amenities! I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone! ☹️

We were looking for basic hotel while doing two days of chartered fishing. We were disappointed coffer was not on/ available to make. Staff indicated the coffer is not brewed until 7 am and we had to leave by 6 am. We were here as the holiday weekend kicked off so the coffee place across the street wasn't open before 6 either.
