Some staff were pretty rude to the folks in our group. I reserved a certain Type of room from our room block and the guy at the front rudely dismissed my request to move. We had packages delivered for our event at the civic center and i twice inquired at the front desk only to be told they didn't have them. The boxes included items to be used at our event. When my co-worker showed me the confirmation email that they arrived a day before us, we went back. But were told again that there were no boxes in the back and the staff refused to go back to look. We hailed a guy (worked in the restaurant) and asked if he could look. He did and the boxes were back there. The room was ok but house keeping didn't clean my room because I had "personal items" on my bed. A couple days into the trip. I felt a bite on my leg in in the middle Of the night. By the time i check out (5 days) I had a number of bites. Not to mention, I only got hot water for about 1/2 my stay. The van driver was awesome, restaurant staff, as was Melissa at the gift shop. The hotel was nice but could improve a lot if the staff was trained and address the possible Bed Bug problem.

While we were on our Alaskan Cruise we took this excursions at Ketchikan. First, we got on a van…read moreand took about 20 min ride to the boat dock. During our boat ride, we got to see bald-head eagle, see sea lion and a crazy amount of seals sun bathing. After the fun tour on the water, we arrived at Silver King Lodge. It is a small building with lots of wood curving, which was interesting. Right in front of the lodge, we saw some Sitka black tail fawns! Then off to a rainforest hike. Our guide told us that it was going to be "the easiest hike" you will ever do. We headed off to the Memorial Trail. Once we started the hike, we saw what he meant by that. The walking trail was a wide wooden trail, I assume it is probably is accessible by wheelchair too. And hence, the easiest hike. I don't even know if it can be called a "hike" at this point...LOL. The rainforest was pretty cool, it was mostly covered with different kinds of moss. We learned about moss and other plants and trees during our short walk. After taking in all the wonderful nature, it was time to walk back to the Silver King Lodge. The "hike" was about 20 minutes walk. And, we were walking slow, so the trail is kind of short. The picnic tables were all set up for us for the feast. Once we were all seated, the pot was brought over to each table and he dumped the pot of seafood gold onto our table.The seafood feast included crab, shrimp, clams, mussels, potatoes, onions, garlic, corn, and sausage. Oh my goodness they were awesome!!! So much crab legs and everything else... We all got down and dirty for this delectable feast. The ride back to the dock was much faster, since we didn't stop to look for any wildlife on the way back. Our tour guide kept us entertained on the ride back though. Our first excursion was a big success! We had a great time on this tour and feast. I had a high expectation for the feast, and it certainly delivered!

I run a business so I understand the challenges faced, but this hotel honestly has no business letting itself run in this state. Every single facet needs a huge overhaul.

As the taxi rides into downtown can average $25 each way. There is a shuttle available or at least they try to make it available for you where just pay gratuities. That did not always work out. However, if you can schedule ahead. I'm pretty sure you won't need to use the taxi. There is also a bus stop right in the parking lot so if you have the extra time and can be a little flexible, the location should not be an issue. Had a couple bumps in the road initially : the heat did not work in our room, and we had to move in the middle of the night our first night. However, Manny was absolutely amazing and he helped out. We hardly noticed the inconvenience once we got settled into our new room. We had an amazing view on the second floor. I think it's just the little things that prevented a higher rating. The lack of TP we had to request. The TV not working the first night, the shampoo should have been replaced in the room. The blow dryer was missing in our initial room so we had to request that as well. I think if housekeeping had just done a check in the room before they rented that out for guest all of these minor bumps could have been prevented. The staff was friendly, though and knowledgeable, They will also be able to provide an affordable option for fishing at Salmon Falls. They provided the shuttle back-and-forth as well. I would still recommend this place if you're looking for an affordable option to stay in Ketchikan. No pizzazz, but definitely worth a consideration.
