Rodeway Inn Edgewater

Ketchikan


A mile north of the airport ferry on the waterfront, the Edgewater is a posher-than-average motel with a good aspect overlooking the Tongass Narrows. The 44 standard rooms are well kept and very clean – you pay extra for an ocean-view courtesy of the little balconies. The inn also includes a bar, a restaurant and a marina where fishing charters can be booked.
