We had a stop over in Haines due to the ferry schedule.
I really needed good WiFi to hold a work meeting. I spoke to the front desk about this while making a reservation and they put us in a room close to the router, which I really appreciated.
We also mentioned taking the later ferry at 7pm. They offered us late check out free of charge, we were able to stay until 3pm.
Super friendly. Always had a recommendation for what we were looking for.

We stayed here in the off-season and it was super charming. It's not glamorous by any means but it is comfortable, clean, and has a great view for sure. My only complaint was those dang lights on the headboard that I had to actively avoid hitting my head on. New owners were great, would definately stay here again next time I'm in town.

When I called to reserve a room I was quoted 107 for the room for each night for 2 nights, then also 60 for a partial night and 25 pet fee. Upon checking in the rooms were clean and organized. The beds were really hard and the pillows were really mushy. The beds felt like you were sleeping on wood and the pillows felt like you were sleeping on a bunched up hand towel. We stayed two full nights and half a day. Then upon checkout I was charged full rate for the half day, even after being told by the person who reserved me and checked me in that it wouldn't be an issue. So instead of paying 299

We loved this place. The view from our room was to die for. The rooms were just fine and they were clean. Amenities included a refrigerator, microwave and a coffee pot. Staff was nice and friendly and the morning breakfast was great.
The hotel also offers ferry shuttle service.
We would definitely stay here if we returned to Haines.
