The Driftwood Lodge

This was my first time visiting Juneau! Appon arrival the staff were very friendly and kind. We were upgraded a room due to my partner not happy with location of first room and these were honestly so perfect and cozy. The walls were made of brick so kept the heat in and the noise down. Right in the middle of everything which was great. The price outbeat the other hotels near by. Super convenient corner store right outside our door as well as a supper yummy breakfast at the sandpiper next door. The museum was right behind us and inside there was a little cafe that sold Super good coffee! We were extreamly happy overall. I would recommend this place.

Our room had all the necessities, but some things needed improvement. Room size was good enough, the sink and bathroom were in separate spaces, and bed was comfortable. The location of the hotel was fine, with two eateries next door (breakfast and lunch only), and downtown, a 15 minute walk. The staff was reachable by phone and helpful. One lent me an umbrella without my asking and it came in handy. Suggested improvements: a coat of paint on the outside, need a light blanket in addition to the comforter which was too hot. Furniture looked old but all was functional.

Bed was clean, and comfortable. Room was survivable. Place is a bit tired- but well started at 2**. Carpet looked new. Looked like the room had been freshly painted. Overall best experience for the level of hotel. Location was excellent. A great affordable place to stay in the heart of Juneau.

Clean comfortable accommodations. Budget friendly. Walking distance to cruise ship docks, restaurants, and shopping. We were only there for one night and it suited our purposes. There was a minor leak in the bathroom ceiling, but we weren't there long enough to even report it (and it did not interfere with our stay).

Considering how expensive other hotels are in Juneau, this was not bad value for money. I didn’t like that if you had the curtains open anyone could see inside. But otherwise there’s a heater that works very well, large king bed, friendly staff and walking distance to everything. Convenience store next door with ATM

I stayed at the Driftwood Lodge during the Rock Aak’w Music Festival in September. It gives super vintage vibes but for the location and price it can’t be beat. My room was super clean and the check-in/out was a breeze. The bed was comfortable and it was rocking all night 😉. The parking is easy, and the Wi-Fi is strong. I really enjoyed walking across the street to the Centennial Hall and being able to get a good breakfast at the Sandpiper Café which is on premises. The lodge is walking distance to all the cool downtown hangout spots. This is Juneau, so don’t go here expecting the Ritz Carlton, think more “vintage boutique”. I look forward to staying here again for the next big event!

The beds were very comfortable, the staff was professional and very helpful. My room was a basic room, and it was very clean and all my needs were met. I caught the 7am shuttle from airport. I notice in previous comments others had issues, but I found the schedule on their website, no reservation required. Worked fine for me.||There is onsite breakfast and lunch which was wonderful, as well as a perfect coffee house just a few short steps away called Sacred Grounds and it was fabulous. Will stay again , loved it ! |

We booked two different stays at the Driftwood and canceled the second one when we arrived for the first. The hotel made a big deal about how they pick you up from the Airport and took all the information about my flights and that I would have a shuttle to the Ferry... We got an email the day before we were to arrive to say they no longer had any shuttles except ones that were on a first come first serve basis like twice a day to only the airport. Really messed us up... Our confirmation clearly lists all the details about the shuttles they had agreed to provide. This is why I picked the hotel. The room was dirty, smelled of mold and just all around very well run down.|Good points are you can walk from there into town and they had laundry which we used. Only one washing machine was working but luckily we were the only ones who wanted to use it. Would not recommend.
