I love this quirky little place! The staff is friendly, the beds are to-die-for, the location is excellent, and the bagels in the bakery next door are the real deal. I was very happy we chose this place to stay. There are some long hallways that are not attractive, but the place has charm. And tootsie pops in jars for your delight. The outdoor hot tub was lovely, thought they really need to have a stool you can use to climb in, as well as a dry place out of the snow for your slippers and robe. I looked at the mattress label before I left... this IS the one I will be buying for my home. Don't miss out o the included breakfast from the bakery... truly wonderful bagels!

We had an all-too-brief stay at the Silverbow in late December. We'd come in on a late plane, and when we got to the 'Bow, we found the room keys, a nice check-in note, and a breakfast voucher! Since this is such a small hotel, staff are not on hand 24/7. But it worked out great -- we 'checked ourselves out' the next morning as we had to leave super early to catch the ferry, and staff weren't at the desk yet. The room was small but very comfortable, with all the necessary amenities, and very clean. It's an old building (for Alaska) -- built in 1914 I think. But it seems to be in fine shape. And, the breakfasts at the 'Bow are not to be missed -- fresh baked bagels, great coffee -- what's not to love? We'll be back!

The staff was awesome - arranged for a cab and made our breakfast-to-go without us even needing to ask. The beds were very comfortable, and the water pressure was great. Typical of Alaska, the cable service was slow, but we didn't expect anything different. The walls were thin, which we didn't notice until the next-door guest was home. We loved the coffee and gourmet tea service and the convenience of being right downtown.

I love the Silverbow! I love they remember my name when I call and when I check in. I stay here when I am in Juneau on business (often). I have my favorite room and they always try to accommodate me. The beds are so comfortable with high thread count sheets; there are lots of pillows and just over all homey.
Remember this is a downtown location so you will hear the outside noise. Walking is the general mode of transportation in the area so you will hear people talking as they walk by.
The location makes getting to bars and local stores very easy. The SOB is across the street and up a slight incline so even; the out of shape can navigate (me).
My only complaint and do mean only...they are very proud of their cream cheese. I ordered half a dozen bagels (fantastic) $6.49, two 4 oz cream cheese, regular was $3 something and the raspberry was $4 something. With my 10% guest discount, it was over $13! Next time I will skip the cream cheese even though it is fantastic.
