Located on the water's edge in the same vast parking lot as the main shopping mall, the 82-room Super 8 is one of the best deals in Ketchikan. Rates are lower than at other lodgings in town, and some rooms have great views of Tongass Narrows and the cruise ships and floatplanes that pass in front of the motel. Rooms lack some common amenities, like coffee makers and ironing boards, but for a basic economy accommodation, it fits the bill just fine.

Super 8 Amenities:

• 82 rooms. Pets accepted. Complimentary continental breakfast. Check-in 2 pm, check-out noon.
