Reluctant Fisherman Inn Review

This is where most visitors will stay, the town's main hotel. A commercial fishing family with three generations of history in Cordova bought the failed business and poured money and effort into reviving the place. The sale of Greg Meyer and Sylvia Lange's fishing assets became a new roof, snow-white comforters in all the rooms, a sun deck over the harbor, and much else. Their children help staff the desk and make the hotel friendly and homey. The location certainly justifies the effort, with its riveting view at the heart of the town. The rooms have the look and amenities of a good midrange hotel. The hotel's restaurant serves decent meals, but Sylvia admits it's not the inn's highlight. A continental breakfast is provided to guests in the lobby.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
