Best Western Landing Review

This hotel offers rooms in bright colors with granite bathroom counters, all redone or brand new in 2006, some with 9-foot ceilings and big opening windows, and equipped with high-quality beds, cherry wood furniture, and the latest technology. Service is warm and efficient, and the entire place is kept immaculately. The competition wins only in the category of charm, as an excellent but corporate-feeling place may not be what you want in historic Ketchikan. The location, right across from the ferry dock, is distant from the downtown sights, so you'll need to rent a car or use the courtesy van that the hotel offers.

The Landing Restaurant, a fountain and grill with lots of chrome, is a local favorite and very kid friendly. Food is consistently good year after year. Try the fresh halibut sandwich or Salisbury steak with real mashed potatoes. Lunch and dinner range from $7.25 to $25. You can order from that same steak and seafood menu upstairs, at Jeremiah's bar, which also serves sandwiches, pizza, and good pasta in a sumptuous room.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; bar; exercise room; courtesy van; covered parking; limited room service; free business center; laundry service and coin-op laundry; dry cleaning

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.
