It is near the airport, in the Mendenhall valley neighborhood where much of the real Juneau lives. Free shuttle service downtown, to the airport, and the ferry terminal make it great for a quick stay without a rental car. The stained wood exterior lined with blooming fuchsia plants, hides the fact that when you request a king bed you get a nicely done two-room suite with a kitchenette. (There are only four on each floor.) Just minutes from the glacier, 15-20 minutes to downtown and 15 minutes to the ferry terminal.
The expansive continental breakfast, the free shuttle service, on-site laundry, free newspapers, free internet access, and genuinely helpful front desk staff does make it the best value for the money.
