OK as a Last Resort
There weren't many options for lodging in the area. Out of 8 different places we stayed at during our Alaska trip, Swiss Alaska Inn was my least favorite.
If you are particular about cleanliness, definitely not for you. I spent several minutes cleaning thee tub/shower - pink mold came off pretty easily but in the end, I didn't feel comfortable using it. Plus the drain backed up. The carpet or something smelled so was not a pleasant sleep. The TV set up was useless - have to download app on phone to control but we never succeeded.
The only plus is the friendly staff who didn't treat me like an alien. As an Asian, I dealt with several instances in Alaska that my partner of Irish-Russian heritage didn't.

Quite and comfortable
The room is very clean. No scented cleaners were used, which I am thankful for as I am allergic to scented cleaners. Bathroom was nice and big.

Cozy and clean rooms. Hearty breakfast. A perfect place to spend a night before getting a headstart to Denali state Park. Will visit them again in the winter.

We loved this place. There is no TV but why would you sit in your room and watch TV in Alaska anyway? The owner and staff were super friendly, the breakfast was excellent and the room was clean and comfortable. Also within walking distance of downtown.

Great little cabin! The only thing that wasn’t so great is that the sheets looked dirty when we went to bed. Just stains we think. The host was awesome and gave some great advice about the area.

GOOD - The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Juneau coffee in the rooms was tasty.
BAD - The lodging itself was disappointing. We found hairs in the mini-fridge and in the bathroom. The beds were hard and squeaky. When any guests in our building used the restroom, there were loud knocking noises through the pipes. Also, there were exposed wires where the smoke alarm once was.

This property is walking distance to town via an ATV trail.
The staff is very friendly and approachable.
The inn itself is not much. The beds are very hard and the frames try to flip when you sit on the end of them. The plumbing is insanely noisy. There were mattresses stacked in the hallway.
We were charged for a third person in a room that easily fits 4. I was warned upon arrival that the TV wouldn't work. It did have working wifi.
I heard from locals that the restaurant breakfast is great, but I didn't personally try it.

great value, will use again.
Room was old but very clean. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Restaurant food was excellent. Web site needs to be updated to clarify that room has flat screen ‘monitor’ no television service. Location was great for us, short cut trail to Main Street and short walk to Mahays boat dock. Did not get in room coffee replenished after first night.
