We were forced to cancel a reservation at this somwhat "haughty" hotel. Although we were well outside the cancellation deadline we were charged a fee ($10) for cancelling. This is bush league and cavalier. One of our reasons for cancelling was the lack of parking mentioned in many TripAdvisor reviews. When we discussed this with the management and asked about options they responded that the parking was for the Bakery and certainly couldn't be expected to be available to the hotel guests! "You could try to find something on the street" was their suggestion. For $200 a night we expect a better attitude and more honesty.

This is a quaint, small, motel in the center of downtown Juneau. It's connected to their own bagel bakery and restaurant which is used to serve breakfast to guests in the mornings.

The room I stayed in was just large enough to hold the full size bed with a little extra room for a small desk along with a outdoor chair. Their wireless internet service is adequate for an email or basic web surfing only.

Although some of their rooms are larger there are more spacious and modern options in Juneau for the price. This motel is more for a short weekend get-a-way for a couple but is not suitable for business travelers.

Silverbow Inn is located in downtown Juneau, the right place for shopping and to visit Mount Robert (one of the top Juneau attractions). There are also some restaurants at the harbour opened until late hours (serving dinner until 10pm). We felt at home because the staff was very helpful and gentle and the building and its rooms are furnished as if it was your home, with family photos, books …. Moreover, you can find everything for your personal care in your room or just by requesting to the reception. Concerning to the breakfast this is another positive thing of Silverbow Inn. In fact, you have fresh bread (many types since close to the hotel there is a bakery and a restaurant), you can make your own waffles, eat several delicious cookies, among others. In the afternoon we can enjoy a happy hour, celebrating with wine and cheese. It is quite small so you have to book a room a few weeks ahead (fortunately a new section is under construction that will offer 5 additional rooms).

We stayed here for two nights in August 2007. It is located conveniently in the downtown area, close to shopping and good restaurants. The staff was quite friendly and helpful. It is an old historic hotel, with three stories and just a few rooms..and no elevator.....not modern, but definitely for those who want a unique experience, not just one in a "cookie-cutter" hotel. The breakfast area is in the lobby, where they serve baked goodies from the bakery next door. It was also a fun gathering spot for the wine & cheese tasting in the evenings....where we sat and visited with some of the other guests that were staying there. Great fun!!!
