It seemed okay when finally got a room but the walls were so thin in this"newly remodeled" "non smoking" hotel that i heard everything, especially the very young employees that were having
a party in the room underneath me(123)3 or 4 guys in the room, loud music and cursing, not to mention all the smoke rolling out
the window, ...

Great spot, friendly staff, good food, and that "evil deck..."

Ask for harbor view. The mountain view is okay but you have to ignore the parking lot. The harbor is gorgeous. Full of a working fleet of salmon fishers. The Reluctant is centrally located and you can stumble home from The Anchor - so I was told!

Weird name, but fine place to stay. We had a "mountain view" room to save a few $$. The most expensive rooms have a harbor view, but so does the smoke free bar & restaurant and hotel lobby. World class deck feels like being right in the harbor. Best fish & chips ever. It is an older building that is being fixed up, and our room ...

Weird name, but fine place to stay. We had a "mountain view" room, to save a little money. Our bedding was new and very comfortable. I loved the down comforter & big towel.
