Alaskan Hotel

Juneau


Welcome to a quintessential gold-boom hotel, with heavily patterned wallpaper clashing with the heavily patterned carpet, lots of wood paneling and walls that would probably relate some lewd erstwhile antics could they talk (it's the oldest operating hotel in Alaska, dating from 1913).

Bedrooms are smallish, some have shared bathrooms and there's a rowdy bar downstairs, but, if you like to immerse yourself in the ghosts of gold rushes past, this place could stimulate some lucid historical hallucinations. It's cheap, too.
