Ramada by Wyndham Juneau is the downtown Juneau hotel formerly known as the Prospector, at 375 Whittier Street. Its 62 rooms include one king and two queen options, one-bedroom suites and water-view rooms, with laptop-friendly workspaces, LCD televisions, refrigerators and free in-room Wi-Fi. The on-site seafood restaurant T.K. Maguires serves breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, and a cooked-to-order breakfast is available for a surcharge. A coffee shop, a bar and a gym round out the offering. Free self-parking is a useful perk in Juneau, and one dog up to 40 pounds is allowed for a nightly fee. It is the budget-friendly pick of this market and puts you near the waterfront without a ship.
Location and getting around. The hotel is in downtown Juneau. The Juneau Arts and Humanities Council is a minute away on foot, and the Mount Roberts Tramway is a 14-minute walk of about 0.8 miles. The airport is about an 11-minute drive, and the Mendenhall Glacier is a short drive or tour ride away. The distance to the cruise docks was not stated in the source checked, though a guest review calls it convenient to the cruise terminals.
Rooms. Choose from rooms with one king or two queen beds, one-bedroom suites and water-view rooms. Rooms include refrigerators, LCD televisions with premium channels and shower and tub combinations. Rollaway beds cost extra and cribs are free.
Who it suits. Budget-minded couples, families and solo travelers who want a central base with free parking, an on-site restaurant and pet-friendly rooms. Good to know: Juneau has no road connection to the rest of Alaska, so you arrive by plane or ferry; whale watching and glacier tours run in summer, from May to early October, while the hotel itself is a city property, so confirm winter rates and availability when booking. The Expedia listing shows a 7.6 guest score from more than 800 reviews, which reflects a comfortable, if older, property.
