I researched a variety of hotels to stay while in Ketchikan for a few days and chose Narrows Inn. Upon finding out this is the best seafood place in town, I simply walked from my room to the restaurant bar. The owners were inside and began telling me a bunch of information about their restaurant and town since I had a lot of questions. They were a wealth of knowledge about the area and they told me some hilarious stories. I ended up eating at the Narrows Inn just about every other meal from then until the end of my stay. The rooms are modest and you can choose waterfront or hillside. The price was right and even though I stayed on hillside, I had a spectacular view. Continental breakfast included each day. It was the value that brought me in and the people that made me want to stay. I'd certainly come back to Narrows Inn next time while in Ketchikan.

100% Highly Recommended
Being an avid traveler I was very pleased when I came upon one of Alaska's finest hotel's The Narrows Inn & Marina. The great service wonderful rooms made my stay very enjoyable and so confortable, great food too may I add. You will not be disappointed staying at this location; I’m a repeat customer for when I find a great spot I always go back.

I feel compelled to begin by telling you that I'm a Sheraton/Hilton kind of traveller. There are no Sheratons or Hiltons or anything like that in Ketchikan. Based on the reviews we booked our stay at the Narrows Inn. I think we made the right decision based on what I saw driving around the town. The town is very industrial at one end and very kitschy/touristy at the other. The Narrows Inn is on the industrial end of town. Nothing is very far away - the place just isn't that big.

Our suite was over the restaurant. We had a wonderful view of the Tongass Narrows and it was so pleasant to watch the seaplanes take off and land and the cruise ships go floating by. I really think the view helped make our stay as pleasant as it was. By the time we were supposed to go I didn't want to leave. The food in the restaurant is good which is great becasue there aren't many restaurants in town, although there are a couple. On our last night we had a bald eagle perched outside - very cool. I would absolutely stay here again if I were in Ketchikan.

I was in Ketchikan for business for two days and two nights. My colleagues stayed at the Gilmore Inn in town and said although it was in the heart of the activity and also located where the cruise ships come in, it was a nightmare of noise and they had a lot of difficulty sleeping. I slept like a baby at the Narrows Inn. The beds were extremely comfortable and the rooms were immaculate. The hotel is extremely well maintained and the free wireless internet was great. I stayed in a waterfront suite and the view was beautiful and very peaceful and relaxing. Got to watch the cruise ships coast by and see some of the fisherman bringing in their daily catches. Pam and Don, the owners, were very welcoming and their personalities were delightful. Don is very funny and entertaining in the bar. He's an extremely smart guy who knows people and who has seen it all. Pam really knows her food and was a HUGE help with a catering order I needed. I had an injured back and she saw to it that I had everything I needed to heal. The bar and restaurant staff were very hard working and also had delightful personalities as well. You MUST try and Swedish pancakes for breakfast. While Ketchikan isn't a thriving metropolis, my experience at the Narrows Inn gave me tons of great memories and big smiles and I would stay there again in a heartbeat.
