“Great place, great location for a visit to Haines”

Went to this hotel with family after checking out of the Hotel Halsingland. Captain's Choice is clean, neat, variety of rooms, most with views of the water. This place is conveniently located to downtown by a block. They have a new lounge and a nice continental breakfast. The staff was very friendly, kind, and helpful. I would definitely stay here any time I visit this community again.

“Blah. Bed uncomfortable. It's rural Alaska though. Take what you can get.”

Nice wood inside the room. That's my positive comment. It's cute. Bed was terribly rock hard with one of those gross roach motel comforters. Internet is pay per use. Walls are pretty thin. I had to listen to a man hack his lungs out all night above me. The bathroom counter has some leftover lube or something on it. I would probably try someplace new next time. Was pretty pricey for what they provide.

My husband is in the army and we were leaving alaska on the ferry, after that we drove from washington to NY. This was one of the better hotels we stayed in. The room was very pretty, with the wood walls.. the view from our room was simply amazing. We had a pet too, they gave us no problems bringing in our golden retriever. They had a continential breakfast, and we also stayed there the night of the superbowl and they had a party for that. The beds were clean and comfortable.. the bathroom was spotless. Much better than the hotel we stayed in in anchorage and thats a big city.. I'd stay there again.. in fact.. it'd be my first choice.. DONT EAT AT THE LIGHTHOUSE.. they are horrible and way overpriced.

“I stared at the B&B across the street, and dreamt of sleep.”

We paid more then $160.00 for one night at the Captain's Choice off season, not to mention we had to listen to this lady complain about how others in the town were "ripping tourists off". I lauged my behind off when I saw our "honeymood suite". She also took us a very long way to the motel in order to press upon us the need to rent one of her used up cars. She offered this car for $80.00 a day starting at 9am until 9am, by this time is was evening and she said she would charge me full price for both days. The walls were so thin, I know exactly what James and Chris did during the day and exactly the time they blacked out from drinking all night. The room smelled of mildew, and cigarettes. The furnishings were old and very uncomfortable. The chairs had white stains all over them, the bed springs were so warn. I felt like I was in a horror film. I hated every minute of the experience and would only refer the people that I didn't care much for to experience this motel.

Stayed one night at the hotel. The room was well furnished and heated but a bit dated. Lovely views from the balcony of the harbour and Lynn Canal. The hotel is very central which makes it easy to get to the shops. Buffet breakfast had quite a good variety of foods and drinks. It is a little pricey compared too other hotels but has a good central position and views. They offer a complimentary pickup and drop for ferry and airport. The room and a TV, microwave and a coffee maker.
