This is the worst hotel I've ever had the misery of staying in. There was mold above the shower,…read moredispensers of soap, etc. in the shower were all empty. Upon arrival, one window had a missing shade, there was no chair to sit on in the room, there were no bedside reading lamps and the comforters on the beds were lumpy because the stuffing had formed into mounds. On top of all that right below my window was an open parking area behind Ernie's bar, which proved to be a gathering place for locals who loudly enjoyed themselves into the wee hours of the morning. All of which made sleeping close to impossible and there was absolutely no response from hotel staff. Said there was nothing they could do about it and frankly, were surly in the process. Stay away is my advice.

I just have so many mixed feelings here…read more.. The good: Staff are friendly and accommodating! Location is incredible, walk to everything! Prices are fantastic. The not-so-good: - Room service is only once a week. This isn't really a huge deal for me, but this place is just not setup and organized around this idea. For example: I was staying for 9 days but I only got 3 pouches of coffee? So I had to go down to the counter and ask for more every 3 days? You should have supplies for your entire stay. - You get to choose which day room service will come. I chose Monday and then...Monday came and went and...they didn't come. I told the front desk, and they came on Tuesday and did a great job, but this was right before I left so I didn't get to bask in the pristineness of it all. - Pillows are horrible. They are WAY WAY WAY too plump. See my photos. They are almost like cubes of pillow. Just as fat as they are wide as they are long. They hurt my neck so bad that I slept without a pillow most nights. No, I am not exaggerating. I asked the front desk about this and they were eager to give me different or more pillows, but this doesn't solve the problem as all the pillows in the whole facility are the same chonker-shaped plumpboiz. (that sentence ain't gonna age well...) They need to get some slimmer/flatter pillows! All pillows in in the whole dang facility are carbon copies of each other, so this issue is unfixable. - Parking is overrun. If you're lucky there will be one spot left. If you're not, you're going to have to use street parking somewhere. - There was a steak in my fridge from the previous guest. - Wi-Fi is slow and constantly boots you off. It's the type that has a pop-up window that makes you type the password, rather than saving the password in your Wi-Fi settings. I sometimes had to reboot my computer multiple times to trick this pop-up window into coming up so that I could re-type the exact same password I had typed dozens of times before. If you need to get work done, go to the library. The Wi-Fi here is too spotty and obnoxious. If you like thick, springy, plump pillows, I can recommend this place without uh...reservation. If you don't, bring your own pillow. Seriously.

During our summer cruise, when I saw they had a golf course at one of the stops, Sitka, I had to…read morebook us! Wasn't sure what to expect but it exceeded our expectations! I was able to reserve everything via email. Easy enough and the price was great for 4 to golf 9 holes with pick up from port and back. It was $120/person and was a great price compared to other excursions, and who doesn't want to say they went golfing in Alaska! Different from the norm and we loved it! Once we arrived in port, I received a call where to meet our driver. He was super friendly and a quick and easy drive to the course. It was only about 10-15 minutes away. As soon as we got there we walked into the clubhouse to check in and get our gear. The clubs and cart were clean and gently used. We're not pros so it worked for us! We started off with drinks before the range and then to our 9 holes. Range is standard, warmed up and off we went. Greens and Tee boxes are astroturf which I totally get with weather they get. But the views are amazing. Pictures don't do it justice, it's absolutely breathtaking!!! Some steep rides up hill but the golf carts made it! Half way through we were back at the clubhouse for a break and some tasty hot dogs and beer! Bathrooms were clean which is always a plus!! The staff was amazing! Back to the course and forgot which hole, I believe 4 or 5 and you're at the very top of the mountain driving your ball to the hole below. Absolutely amazing!! Definitely a fun experience you have to try to say you did!! The weather was perfect that day for us! Hope to visit again some day!!

I have no clue why this place only gets three stars. The customer service here was off the charts…read more Bianca went out of her way to come and get us at the cruise port (just the two of us). We golfed this nine hole course (extraordinary views) which is extremely tough. If you're afraid of heights, don't come here because it's very steep and a Rugged terrain - this is not Saint Andrews links. You're in Sitka. The golf course is only open for about three or four months a year. It's mostly run by volunteers. But we had such a wonderful trip. Bianca is a one-man show here I do think they need stuff at the pro shop. They need Koozies for beer a price for buckets of beer and some other things however what they do have was really nice range balls we're only six dollars a bucket. We will be back.

My family and I did not stay at the Dove Island Lodge, but instead went for dinner. The service was…read moreimpeccable from the very start. We were picked up at the main dock in town, and took a very short boat ride to the island. We were greeted by two waiters who had hot towels and cocktails ready for us as we pulled in and escorted us to the dining cabin. The executive chef came out to greet us, all by name, and asked us if we had any dietary restrictions. He was prepared to make anything from raw, palio, vegan, vegeterian, etc. The dinner was delicious! The whole experience was very personalized and relaxing. I would highly recommend to treat yourself to a dinner or stay for a special occasion!

Can't say enough good things about the entire trip. Can't wait to return.

This hostel has many positives: - friendly staff…read more- fantastic prices (mixed dorm is about 10 TIMES cheaper than a 2-star hotel in town) - solid WiFi - welcoming environment However, a few things keep it from 5-stars: - The hostel is closed from 10am-6pm. This makes logistics very cumbersome if you're traveling with heavy bags. You have to plan your whole day around what you wan to have access to. - The hostel is closed for the night at 11pm. Want to go for a night hike, get into town, and have a burger and a beer? Good luck. I had to run to get back to the hostel before the 11pm lockout. - Getting a reservation is more difficult than it should be. You can't do it on the web. You either have to do it via email or phone. I HIGHLY recommend doing it on the phone. - no real "common area": there's not really a central location to hang out with fellow hostelers. Yep, there are a lot of hoops to jump through if you want to stay here, I'd say they are largely worth jumping through, though.

The beds are comfortable, the place is clean and the best place to "get your feet wet" at a hostel if you've never stayed in one before. I tried others around Alaska and they were okay but this one was by far the best. Walking to the downtown area is a short distance. The hostel has wireless but if you don't have a computer the library will let you use theirs for up to an hour. Washer and dryers are available as well as a kitchen and breakfast room. Fortunately, I met people from around the world and we all became fast friends. There were some college age hostelers and many over 50. It was a great mix of people and backgrounds. This hostel does not allow drinking or smoking. There is a curfew of 11pm with a lockout during the day and you'll sign up for one chore. No big deal, it just helps them keep the cost down and the cleanliness level up. They are open year round. It was cleaner than the hotel I stayed in over in Ketchikan for a fraction of the price. If you're going to Alaska I highly suggest you make it a point to visit Sitka. If you wish to take the economy route, like I did, this hostel was a great "first" for me! I hope I'll be able to return again in the years ahead.

Our group of six was on one of their boats for three days of fishing. Our boat captain and mate were professional, courteous, and very knowledgeable about the waters we were fishing. Best of all, the fish (salmon, halibut, and long cod) were cooperative! At shore, the lodge was a fully equipped three bedroom apartment with outsta views of the wate and mountains. The housekeeping staff delivered a great breakfast every morning and we were well fed on the boat at lunch. A final shout out to their office manager, Mara, who ensured we were well taken care of. I strongly recommend them to anyone considering fishing trip to SE Alaska. Mitchell J.
