My girlfriend and I were traveling through Skagway on our way to Juneau and in our attempts to beat getting stuck at the pass in snow, arrived two days early to Skagway. Teri and Chris were wonderful hosts and made every accomodation for us to get a room on no-notice and the room was exceptional and we had roadside parking... More

My sister and I were traveling from Anchorage to California. We planned our trip out for 2 weeks. Reserved hotels in various cities. Because Sgt. Preston"s was really the ONLY place in town that excepted pets we e-mail the hotel asking for a 2 bed deluxe room. A person replied to e-mail and told us that there was a deluxe... More

Your review is not truthful and if your going to put something like this out there you should at least be truthful. First of all you booked on March 22, 2012 ( which is not two weeks out there) Second this was Easter Weekend we were totally booked on Saturday March 30th, 2013. You booked for March 29th, 2013 which... More

The room was amazing. Nice, clean, and quiet! I was so impressed. I wish I knew about this place on our first night there not the last. Hands down beats every other hotel there!!! You will not be disappointed.

Based on reviews right here..I selected this hotel and made a reservation knowing this would be our first taste of civilization after five nights on the Chilkoot Trail. And fellow adventurers, we made the right choice! Before heading out to the trail with our permits, Sgt. Preston allowed us to drop some luggage off at the hotel where they held... More

I selected this hotel by its name, being old enough to remember the TV show 'Sgt Preston of the Yukon' from my childhood. Hotel is basic but comfortable. Everything works, staff are helpful, Internet is available in the office (not wifi). Office staff will mind bags in the foyer between checkout and departure. Most importantly, they picked us up punctually... More

We had an overnight stay recently at Sgt Prestons Lodge in Skagway, Alaska. As always I had looked at the TripAdvisor site to see what was available & chose this lodge. It was good value and well positioned. While, as others had said, the outside wasn't cute or eye catching the deluxe room we had was a good size, clean... More

Coming from Ontario, I found and selected this motel in Skagway using Tripadvisor. The reviews had been great, and I never regretted my choice. It might not be a fancy place but it was very affordable, clean, cozy and quiet. Some people here had an issue with dogs at the reception - I found it ok, especially when one likes... More

In June 2012 a friend and I spent 1 night at the Sgt. Preston's Lodge in Skagway Alaska. It always makes me a little nervous booking rooms at places that you have no idea what you are going to get. Before booking a room for our stay in Skagway, we searched the internet for places and compared prices, locations, and... More

This Motel is quite comfortable. Deluxe rooms are 125$ that is a good value here, smaller rooms we haven’t check (105$-115$). Spacious bathroom with enough shelf space for everything. Fridge, Microwave, but surprisingly no coffee machine (free coffee/hot chocolate in the somehow dump Lobby, 7AM-9PM). Good location, close to downtown but not too close (out of the cruise masses area).... More

The travel agent had arranged for this place for our 3 night stop in Skagway. when we saw the office, we almost died. But the room was clean, nice looking and spotless and included a fridge and microwave. The difference was hard to believe. I don't know why they haven't cleaned up the office area and common grounds as we... More
