We had a great time and enjoyed the friendly staff. No elevator could be difficult. Bathrooms were clean and upgraded..enjoyed the area very much.

STILL NEEDS AN ELEVATOR

Nice historic hotel. Great location and walkable to lots of shops, restaurants and bars. There is no elevator so have to pack your luggage up and down stairs, there is no AC so it can get really warm, very noisy with windows open of people out in the street coming out of the bars, and the cruise ships docking or leaving port.

when it is very hot outside, you need to have the windows open, and then you get to listen to the late night bars It does stay relatively cool, except when temperatures are extra high for Ketchikan

Stayed one night left early next morning, check in was supwr easy and fast.

This hotel is next to a restaurant which seems to vent their frying grease directly into the building. The entire hotel reeks of fryer grease and the downstairs/landing carpet is extremely greasy since restaurant employees walk through the tiny lobby. We were given a room right next to the hotel room keeping laundry, so we had a tremendous amount of noise for at least 12 hrs daily from washing, drying, beeping, employees yelling at each other. The hotel desk clerks are rarely at the front desk at night (they hang out on the street or in the restaurant). Our room also had a tiny window facing an interior ally area which was connected to the restaurant, so we got a lot of employee noise and banging around from that. There aren't many decent hotel options in Ketchikan, but if you have any other choices, don't stay at the Gilmore.

Very nice old fashioned hotel . Was warm in room with no air conditioning and no screens on windows . But overall nice and clean.

From the outside the hotel looks old and a little run down. But once you enter, its nice and clean and full of historic photos. Our room was nice and spacious and it seemed pretty clean (tho I didnt bring a blacklight flashlight to officially check). The TWO downsides are NO elevator (we were on the 3rd floor), and NO parking. There is a bell hop to help carry luggage to your room, and there is street parking as well as a lot across the road. It says 2 hr parking between 8am-5pm everywhere, but we left our car all day and didnt receive a ticket or anything. Overall we liked this hotel. Anthe at the front desk was sweet and helpful. There is always complementary water and coffee on the landing between the first and second floors. My husband and I especially enjoyed looking at all the old photos of Ketchikan! It also gave us a good rest in between floors.

It is an old hotel from 1927 so it has charm but also has piecemeal updates to bring it into the 21st century. It still has no elevator. Our biggest complaint was the lack of a place to hang things up. The hotel does provide free transport to and from the airport ferry. The ferry costs $6 per person one way.

The Gilmore is a classic! I was lucky to find it

This is a cute boutique hotel that is perfectly situated within walking distance of bars, restaurants, and downtown Ketchikan. Ketchikan is very small, so you walk everywhere. The bus stop is also right in front of the hotel, and a restaurant is attached. There is also a coffee and tea service at the hotel. The attached restaurant is wonderful and has a good bar. We would highly recommend the Gilmore for its location, charm, and convenience. It is not overly fancy, which makes it all the more charming.

The hotel staff were great, especially Anthe! Our third floor room offered a comfortable bed, clean room, windows overlooking the bay and July 4th parade route. Loved the historical building and neighboring area.

We really enjoyed staying at the Gilmore! Our room was comfortable and we loved being able to watch from our window the cruise ships come and go. The staff went above and beyond to help us stay a bit longer when our flight was cancelled.

Old and musty. Room was dusty and pee on the walls in the bathroom. Clean sheets and decent bed. Friendly lady at the front desk.
