Ripley Creek Inn is truly a unique setting. Even on a rainy Fall day, it's charme is unmistakable. We got a pet friendly room, which was very big, with a kitchenette and an elevated part where the bed was. As it was low season, there were just a few guests, so we almost had the place for ourselves. The location is great, as you can just walk out the door and find all you need, food-wise. There is a nice boardwalk just behing the place, with a view of Alaska. The whole place is very photogenic and reminded me a bit of Telegraph Cove on Vancouver island. I was happy with my stay, despite the broken rooster, that started the day in the dark around 4 am, and kept it going for every half hour. But my whole experience was torn apart by the unfriendly staff with the check-out in the morning. Not a smile or even the question how my stay was. This is the reason why the 5 star is not rewarded. Hospitality is more than a nice, clean room.…

We stayed in 24 different properties during August 2023 on a driving trip from Minnesota to Alaska. Our primary criteria for evaluating a lodging property include cleanliness, sleep quality, price given the season, ease of luggage transfer and use, and wireless speed and security. Other plusses would include location and view, breakfasts, and availability of restaurants close by. We don’t watch TV so can’t tell you about the quality of service. This is the third time we’ve stayed at Ripley Creek Inn (RCI). RCI is a collection of buildings from the early 1900s that have modern equipment in all the rooms along with some refurbished antique furniture. Each of the buildings has its own story. Staying here is an experience worth enjoying if you’ve made the choice to visit the Stewart/Hyder area. All our stays have been in the Main Lodge building. Sleep quality is very good, especially if you’re on the second floor, since there is some creaking when occupants directly above move around. There are some steps up to get into the building and no elevator within. All things considered; I’d rate this as one of the 6 best places in which we stayed this trip. This year, there was one drawback, the associated restaurant, Toastworks, was closed leaving the King Edward Hotel restaurant as the only alternative. Service there was dreadful and while the food was edible, I’d have to rate it about equal to school lunch. …

This was truly an experience in the nicest way, we stayed in the Ritz cabin. Like a 1930s store exterior with a modern bathroom and the rest decorated in the time period. Had a small private deck at the back great for relaxing with a drink. Would definitely stay here if we return to Stewart.

Such a lovely place to stay! We stayed in the Kate Ryan building and our room was great. Very spacious. Nice kitchen & bathroom. The power went out during our stay so they moved us to the main lodge which had power from their generator. The room there was smaller but also nice. Would love to come back and stay in one of the other many buildings they have.

A quaint hotel in an area with few options. It was very clean and had such great character. However............the wi-fi was hopeless. Guests are given the option of "free" wi-fi which is good for one hour before you're kicked off and have to sign back in to continue to use it. Furthermore, the wi-fi was so slow I eventually gave up on trying to do anything on the internet (like watch baseball highlight videos). The option to have paid wi-fi also existed but I strongly believe in 2023 that hotels should offer high speed internet as part of what a guest pays for when staying at any hotel. Also, a less annoying aspect but still kind of odd situation was the closed captioning on the TV that I was unable to remove despite finding in the settings that closed captioning was not activated. Very strange and somewhat annoying. If I return to the area I will most definitely ask if the wi-fi situation is better and if not I would likely be forced to choose another facility that didn't have the same internet connectivity issues.…

An almost magical place set back in the early 1900's. The lodge is cozy, with spacious rooms, fast Wifi, a hot and strong shower, and luxurious beds. The views from the windows and outside are gorgeous and the staff are courteous and solicitous. I added a day onto my stay as a respite during a 16k km motorcycle trip from Ohio, USA and will definitely come back.

Nice rooms in quaint historical buildings. Spacious rooms. Beds comfortable. In town close to restaurants. Beautiful mountain setting. Lots of open seating areas nicely furnished. Reception check-in not so friendly or welcoming.

We needed a place to stay between Dease Lake and Terrace, and we were so glad we chose to make the side trip to Stewart. The drive out and back is beautiful as is the scenery around Stewart itself. We stayed in a charming room on the upper floor of the Main Lodge building, which has a lot of character. It was clean and spacious with a microwave and small refrigerator; lots of counter space in the bathroom. The room also had a lot of light since it was a corner with two large windows. It's an easy walk to the main street, the visitor center, and the estuary boardwalk.

The town is gorgeous, so glad we visited. We booked room 602. It had 2 queen sized beds, a living room and a kitchenette. The room and facilities were great. The views from balcony breath taking and we were delighted to have lots of visits from cheeky chipmunks. Anything associated with sleeping was not so great. Bed no 1 (night one) was very saggy we both slept badly as we repeatedly both rolled / slid into the middle. The next night we tried the other bed and it was incredibly creaky - not just creaky but super loud cracking creaks every time you moved the tiniest bit in the bed. Needless to say after half an hour we had to split up and sleep alone, each in a uniquely defective bed. The window coverings are too thin and don’t close properly - when it is not dark until after 10pm and light very early, makes it hard to get to and stay asleep. The front room has the added light pollution from the street lamps and both businesses across the road being fully lit up. The walls are not well soundproofed and we had to endure our neighbour giggling and laughing into the small wee hours. I understand that this town is remote and the terrain harsh, but sleeping comfortably is the main reason we stay at hotels / inns.…

This is a fairly bare-bones review since I primarily used the accommodation for sleeping--didn't watch any TV, didn't use other amenities except WiFi which worked fine for my basic needs. The room was quiet and comfortable. I booked a 2nd floor room in the main building this time since the last time I was here, I was on the first floor, and I could hear some creaking in the floorboards above me--not a major issue, but since I could book a specific room, I chose the second floor. I stayed here in 2019 also, so you can see I didn't decide to try something else.
