Travelodge by Wyndham Juneau
I checked in a bit early, so they didn't have my room clean, which is okay. However, about three hours later, someone else came into my room with their luggage, then returned to the front desk to get an empty room.

This property is our go to location when visiting family in Juneau. The rooms are clean and conveniently located to Fred Meyer and Safeway and the airport. Just a short drive to downtown in one direction and to the Valley and Auke Bay in the other direction. We’ve never been concerned with safety ...

Best Western Country Lane Inn
The hotel was clean and a nice condition, but beginning to show its age a little bit. The bathroom was clean with plenty of hot water. Bed was comfortable. I recall this a good standard hotel, but not luxurious.
