Historic Skagway Inn — Hotel in Alaska

This is not a cheap hotel, but it's got a great location and offers a lot better amenities than the alternative I had considered (a campground at Dyea, a ghost town several miles outside Skagway.

The rooms are small, but clean, historic, and charming. The owner will shuttle you if you need a lift. Staff are fun and friendly.

Pro Tip about breakfast: if you're riding the first train in the morning out of town, let the staff know well ahead so they can squeeze in breakfast and shuttle you to the train. Alternative: take a...
