June's B and B is OK, but it is in a very strange building that is quite ugly. The furnishings are old and tacky and the whole town is quite industrial and not pretty. Personally, I would skip Whittier. If you go there, June's is the best bargain in town, but it is not eye-candy. The room was clean and had everytnig we needed. Some of her rooms have a view but ours did not. The town is the real problem. Very very tacky!! Spend more time in Seward and skip Whittier

breaskfast isn't extensive - a muffin and some orange juice - but the view is fantastic and June is helpful to her guests. Room (honeymoon suite) was big and a bit leopard printed (see photo).
A word of warning - don't try to buy dinner later than 8pm in Whittier - it just won't happen.

If you're going to Whittier and you're not dealing with June Miller, you're missing the full experience and have no guarantee that everything will go right. First, let me say that I had not a little trepidation about a B&B in a 15 story building! June met us at the station and transported us to our "digs", a top floor, two bedroom condo overlooking the town and harbor. I think the B&B comes in because June delivers baskets of fruit and muffins and checks up on everyone (tucks you in) each evening. If you're looking for five star, step and fetch-it service, this is not the place. If you want a warm welcome, bend over backwards help having your definition of a good time, I haven't encountered better.

I had booked a charter for the following day to go king salmon fishing; the guy had troubles with his motor but assured me it would be ready the next day. We made it to outside the breakwater and returned. June, on seeing us back in the harbor called another captain and persuaded him to take us out (see my review of Jim Muhar's Prince William Sound Charters). He normally doesn't do day trips.

June made arrangements to secure our luggage, while we were out fishing, and we boarded the Alaskan Ferry Service's Kennicott for our ride to Juneau that night, a very pleased bunch.

The building itself is in dire need of repainting and repair. Upon entry, I considered leaving, particularly after seeing a note on the community bulletin board saying, "Whoever took the metal Welcome sign off my door, put it back." The lobby had furniure with holes in the fabric and chipped and dirty tiles. June was extremely helpful and concerned about our stay. The apartment itself was spacious and more than adequate. However, it was located on the 15th floor adjacent to the elevators. The noise from the elevators going up and down kept us awake--in fact my companion went to the parking lot to sleep in the van in order to get some sleep. I would not plan a return visit.
