From the ferry terminal it is about a 5 minute walk to the Stikine Inn (which is a large 2 storey building right on the waters edge) to be greated by friendly and helpful proprietors and staff. We chose an ocean view room which is more expensive than those across the corridor but worth it. Some of the rooms have a fridge. The Inn has a restaurant which serves basic but very good meals and these can be eaten inside or out on the sundeck which in the summer sunshine late into the night is a joy. Being on a restrictive diet we needed food not offered on the Inn's breakfast menu. There is a supermarket a short walk away which served the purpose.
We took 2 tours:- to Petersburg and Le Conte Glacier one day and the following day the Stikine River tour. Both are excellent but take your own lunch on the Stikine tour. Water only provided. There is time in Petersburg to buy lunch and see the town.
The local library has free internet.
Our ferry to Juneau didn't leave until 11.45pm and the Inn's proprietors were happy for us to wait in the Inn's lounge but we didn't need to because a southbound ferry (which have about an hour's turnaround) arrived and departed before ours was due to arrive so we waited at the ferry terminal waiting room.

My first visit to Wrangell was on a cruise ship in the fall of 2004. My son and I walked the town for about 2 hours. I fell in love with this wonderful corner of small town Alaska. We stopped at the Stikine Inn and were frankly not impressed. Bill and Cheryl had not yet begun their renovation of the inn. When we arrived at Wrangell Airport we were greeted by Oggie, who drove the Inn's van. He was gracious, if a little quiet. We quickly came to love Oggie and found that he has a great sense of humor.
We had a friend from Fairbanks fly down and stay with us. We picked the Stik Inn, as the locals call it, because they had large rooms with 2 beds. Even though the room was very nice, I would have enjoyed the view of the harbor more than the view of the Post Office! But we were on a budget and spent plenty of time in the restaurant enjoying the wonderful food and the view.
We spent too much of Cheryl's time talking about innkeeping and the many projects that they had already completed around the inn. She is the most gracious hostess and we ended up swapping recipes before we left. I made their Halibut Pizza as a first course for a dinner party after we returned to Southern California. I received emails from all of our guests raving about that pizza. Kudos to Jake, the chef, who came up with a real winner with that dish.
We changed to a B&B for our final 3 nights, which we also enjoyed, but walked to the Stikine for dinner most nights. We can't wait to go back to see what Bill and Cheryl have done over the winter.

The staff was very polite and courteous with always a smile and energy. The Inn has their own van that can pick you up at the small airline terminal a short distance from downtown. The room was of good size and comfortable with a very nice bed. My room had a microwave, refrigerator and coffee pot. Standard Tube TV 27" with a pretty good choice of cable channels to select from. With the exception of new carpet most of the other furnishing are outdated and worn, the bathroom needs a complete remodel and the locks on the door are of inexpensive type and need to be replaced. RM #52 had a beautiful view, but I did not get much of a chance to enjoy it since I was there on business. No complimentary "High Speed Internet" offered which is quickly becoming the standard in the industry.

The place was been remodeled and the food is very good. The location was excellent, and service great. Plan to stay here next time.
