Mendenhall Room
The Mendenhall room at Grandma's House was clean, warm, comfortable and conveniently located in the Mendenhall Valley. There are welcoming living room and parlor areas, the kitchen is fully furnished, bathrooms are spotless and the price is very reasonable. I definitely will plan to stay there again. It's becoming my Juneau home away from home.
Great stay as always. Came here this time last year and chose this as our place to stay. Was not disappointed then and wasn't disappointed this time around either! Clean and well kept, great amenities like washer and dryer (bring your own soap). No complaints!
Helpful to have kitchen at your disposal and a lovely area where folks leave items they no longer need (books/boots during my stay were available). Room was large and bed very comfy

Safe, secure, clean
Thank you for everything. We felt safe and secure.
The property was very clean and neat. Choosing a shared common space made me nervous but I was pleased to find the property very clean and neat. It was quiet and the location was perfect for the sightseeing I did while in Juneau. It was a great value and I would happily stay there again.

Bad - Expectations Not Met
The one single upstairs communal bathroom serving six separate accommodations had a one single nearly spent bar of soap for everyone's use. That is substandard and gross. Plus most establishments don't have their guests perform a list of chores before checking out.
the house was very nice, clean and comfortable. It was very affordable compared to the other hotels and BDs in Juneau. this was a new experience for me, the shared house. I look forward to my next visit and will definitely recommend this to my friend and family.
Clean, nice, comfortable. This was exactly what we needed and exactly what was advertised. Thank you for a good night sleep.

Perfect for our needs
Able to walk to glacier. Not much nearby as far as shopping/food but we knew that ahead of time and if you have a car it's close to anything you might need or want. It's also right on the bus line! Everything was clean and as expected. Thank you!
