The location of the Van Gilder is great. Short walk to restaurants, shops, and the Alaska Wildlife Center. It’s an easy mile walk to the boat docks and the Katmai National Park Visitor Center. The hotel could use some love from the owners. It’s definitely showing wear, but the history of the place is very interesting, and it’s displayed in the hallways. There is a nice little room in the front for coffee with tables to sit at along with a giant stuffed bear to greet you. If you like modern cookie cutter places to stay, this is not for you. If you enjoy a little history, character, and charm, you will like this place.
The only downside we had is that the temperature of the water in the shower in our room was unreliable.

Cozy and vintage. Easy to get to. Friendly staff.
Doors won’t shut easily and the shower is very small
