Eagle Bay Inn

This was our first visit to Sitka and our stay at the Eagle Bay Inn was delightful. The room was nice and clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff were very nice and helpful. The Inn is convenient to some of the attractions in the area. They offer free snacks all the time, not just at breakfast.

Very nice rooms and the friendliest staff I have ever seen, and I stay in hotels 100+ days a year. After a week of heavy rain the staff made us feel right at home. I highly recommend Eagle Bay Inn if your looking to get away from the downtown cruise ship traffic.

I arrived early evening by air and was out next morning before 5am. All I needed was a comfortable, safe, clean room and the Eagle Bay Inn delivered. I could actually see stopping here by car and the fact that it's a little outside town would be a plus! Decent stay overall but promised shuttle pickup didn't materialize. I called the hotel 14 times and either my number was blocked or there was a technical issue, but the call never successfully went through. I then called my wife in New York, and she successfully reached the hotel to let them know I was at the Sitka airport. They then realized they were supposed to pick me up and someone did come pretty quickly. Stuff happens and I'm pretty mellow, but not the way a guest wants to arrive with promise that someone would be at the airport to meet me. Finally got the hotel around 7:30p after the plane landed at about 630pm. I had to be out of the hotel at 4:45am for an early flight. Hotel is located just outside Sitka proper. There's an excellent pizza/Mexican restaurant a couple of doors down from the hotel. Reasonably priced for Alaska! Great beer selection and food was great! I tried to eat/drink at the nearby Harbor Mountain Brewing Company, a short walk away. Their pizza got great reviews, but when I arrived at 7:50p they told me they were done with pizza for the evening, so I passed and went back to the Mexican place next to the hotel Would totally recommend the Eagle Bay hotel IF your requirements are a comfortable bed with limited amenities nearby. Looked like a long walk, but not impossible, into town. Apparently, there's a bus, but I read somewhere that service stops at 7pm. If you have a car, the location might even be considered a plus, as it's about a 5-minute drive to Sitka proper. I only dealt with one person, and she was the woman who picked me up at the hotel and then checked me in. Great service by the way from the woman who booked my stay over the phone. And hotel does offer tea/coffee and very limited breakfast items in the morning.

Clean, quick walk to town through park where we saw thousands of spawning salmon, across from small beach, excellent free coffee. Stayed just one night pre cruise and would definitely recommend. Free shuttle met us at airport and returned us to convention center where our cruise was organizing luggage and passengers.

Vicki and her staff were courteous and knowledgeable about the area. Very helpful and made sure we had what we needed. Rooms were spacious, clean and homey. Comfy beds too! Great selections of snacks, drinks and ice available 24/7 We would definitely stay again next time we visit Sitka!!

I rarely write reviews, when I do rest assured I was overwhelmed. The staff are tremendous! They are endlessly helpful, attentive and friendly. The entire property is clean beyond expectation, everything you may need is there and available. Rooms are comfortable, quaint, clean, well stocked; bathrooms are spotless, plenty of towels and personal necessities. There is a breakfast/snack bar in the lobby stocked full if you desire and is open 24/7. This was a very pleasant and comfortable place to stay. To boot there is a restaurant, "Pizza Express", just a few doors down the plaza, the menu and choices are diverse and the food is great! Would stay at the Eagle Bay Inn again and again. Wish there were more of this type of accommodation in more cities! Thank you to all those at Eagle Bay Inn.

My wife and I visited Sitka at the end of May, 2022. Our lodging for 2 nights was Eagle Bay Inn. We arrived in Sitka via Alaska Seaplanes from Juneau. Miranda from the inn picked us up at the airport and drove us to the motel. The motel is part of a ***** mall and doesn't look like much from the outside. But the friendly, welcoming staff on the inside is what makes Eagle Bay Inn special. Vicki, the energetic manager, showed us a room on the first floor and another room on the second floor. We chose spacious room #16 on the second floor, overlooking the front parking lot. It actually had two rooms. It was a suite. The lobby of the inn has a kitchenette that is stocked with coffee, orange juice, bagels & cream cheese, jellies, yogurt, donuts, cookies, apples and cherry turnovers. The Eagle Bay Inn is a short walk to both the Raptor Center and the Sitka National Historic Park. A Blue Line bus stop is just a minute walk from the lobby. We used the Blue Line bus to get within a block of the Fortress Of The Bears. After checking out the bears, we took a 5 mile bus ride and walked around downtown Sitka. Several times throughout the day, an eagle would be perched at the top of a tree visible from our room. Just across the road from the inn is a rocky beach with great views of the water and mountains. At the end of our visit to Sitka, Miranda took us to the airport. After sitting a while waiting for our plane, a person at the checkout counter asked us if we were missing a cell phone. Sure enough, my wife had left her cell phone in our room at the Eagle Bay Inn. Miranda found it while cleaning the room, called the airport and then drove back to the airport to hand deliver it to my wife. Name me another motel/hotel that would do that. THAT is customer service at it's best. Another Tripadviser review mentioned constant traffic in and out of the ***** mall. Our room was on the front of the building but traffic didn't seem excessive or bother us.

Run by some of the nicest people on the island. No kidding, I got a hug from the owner five minutes after we met. Fantastic rooms. Both our dogs were welcome as well. There was nothing that anyone could have done to make our stay more wonderful. Thank you!
