A tolerable hotel
My father and I shared a room on the way back from our Prince of Wales Island fishing trip. I talked him into staying over in Ketchikan, because I was curious about what was going on and what it was like there in Ketchikan. This is definitely a Cruise destination port, beware!
The hotel has no elevator up to the upper floors, and our room was on the 3rd floor. The guy at the front desk was helpful-ish, but not too helpful. For example it would have been really relevant to know that everything was going to be closed the Saturday we were there, because no ships were coming in, and it was the first day like that in 3 months! He did however recommend decent not too touristy places to eat etc...
The wifi was pretty bad, and we had to actually sit in the hallway on a couch to do any surfing. The whole town has poor Internet pipe, so even when on the wi-fi the surfing was painful, but free.
Continental breakfast was included but the produce was kind of sad looking to this California boy. I had cereal and milk, and it is served in the smoke smelling Annabelle's Bar.
Unique Quality: The hotel is right on the main thoroughfare so if the window was open it was noisy, and if it was closed... warm. Wouldn't ever choose to stay here again. Didn't quite hate it, just far from a great place to stay. Given the out of the way nature of this town, not sure anything in town is hugely better. They are located right in the heart of where the ships let people off and you can walk to just about anything in town.
The hotel is in pretty bad disrepair. There was even an old return vent in the bathroom with no grill on it, kind of open into the wood walls and duct work, you can actually see the insulation in the bathroom photo.

On the National Historic Register
The Gilmore Hotel is a remodeled but historic hotel which was built in 1927 of an unusual building material. The hotel was built of solid concrete!! The outside of the building looks like it is of a more recent architectural period, but the lobby has a very warm, old time feel and look. The Gilmore Hotel is considered Ketchikan's "boutique" hotel and offers 38 rooms of which 12 are considered luxury rooms. All of the hotel's comfortable rooms are located on the building's upper two floors. All rooms have full baths with toiletries, color TV, HBO, and direct dial phones, coffeemakers, and alarm clocks. Luxury rooms have all of the above plus a flat screen TV, high-speed wireless internet, and exquisite beds and linens and the most important thing, an ocean view!
Some of the extras that the hotel offers besides having some rooms with views of Ketchikan's harbor are complimentary continental breakfast; same day laundry & dry-cleaning; and even freezer space for your fishing catch! The Ketchikan Airporter can transport you to/from the airport for a fee. Otherwise, the hotel's courtesy van will pick you up "on the city side."
Don't miss the fabulous period bar room and restaurant on the premises -- Annabelle's Keg & Chowder House. Great decor as well as food!
Unique Quality: I thought the hotel's lobby was a little dated but really charming, as was the massive, carved wooden bar of "Annabelle's" which you could reach through the lobby. For a few more dollars, I would select one of the hotel's "Luxury" guest rooms for its added amenities and ocean view!
The price of a standard double room begins at about $120nd luxury rooms start at about $130 this August (2006), but check their website for current pricing and availability. These rates did not include the 11.5% tax levied on rooms.
The hotel has a great location and in walking distance of all the shops, the "Great Alaskan Timberjack Show," Creek Street, and museums.
