Westmark Sitka, Sitka

I've stayed here 4 times and will stay the 5th time in August. It's without doubt the best hotel in Sitka. The rooms are completely adequate; everything else is good except room service. (Don't try it.) The location is central and guests can walk to almost anything they'd want to do. Are you in town for a conference? It might be held in the hotel, and if it isn't, it will be one block away at the Centennial Building. If people don't like the price of breakfast, go across the street to Highliner or Roma's, or down the street to Victoria's. No big deal. Hotel breakfasts are almost always expensive. This hotel has its own van, meets all flights at the airport and takes guests back to the airport. You WILL be there in plenty of time. I've found the employees to be very pleasant and to give good service. Business center is free. You don't have to slide a credit card to check your e-mail!

I'm not shure what the other reviews are talking about...first of all everything in Alaska is more expensive than in the lower 48 states so thats to be expected. The prices are great for what you get! The other hotels in town that i've been too are just run down and cheap, again yah get what ya pay for! And yes the Westmark is on the waterfront, yah look out the window and there's the ocean. all ya have to do is walk across the street and you could be swiming in it, if ya dared! oh, and the resturant is wonderful, great Alaskan seafood! And the lounge is cool especially if ya want to kick back have a drink and watch some sports or just stare out the window at the beautiful seenary! This Hotel even has its own TV channel telling you where all the major sites are! Sitka is a small beautiful town and the Westmark will put you right in the middle of all the action!

I would not say that this hotel, is right on the water, as stated in the previous review. Sitka is a small town that resides next to the water. But this hotel is a couple blocks off the water. Just to be correct. It's a fairly nice hotel. I paid 182 w/ taxes through expedia. I thought it was very expensive considering the location and the town-size. Hopefully you can find a better price directly from the hotel. Our room had two single beds, with fairly old matresses. The bathroom was clean and the view was nice. We were on the 5th floor and still could hear cars outside. A fairly average hotel room. Anywhere in Sitka would be walking distance to anything in Sitka. It is a small town with lots to see. The one great thing is that the restaurant had good food, there was a Subway across the street and behind that was a good coffee shop. It is also located close to the shopping district. The service we received was good. Oh, and there is also the best Fly Fishing shop at the bottom floor of the hotel.
