Salmon Falls Resort and The Timbers Restaurant

Didn't stay here but arrived daily for chartered fishing trips. The breakfast was well displayed and plentiful. The views are breathtaking. The servers, which are all seasonal, love their jobs and are very pleasant, fun, and provide great service. The salmon down by the falls and in the water are fun to watch. There is also a bear that comes out to eat once or twice a day.

Salmon Falls caused us to lose most of our vacation time on two different days. The hotel is out quite a ways (about 20-25 minute drive from town). We only had 24 hours to enjoy Ketchikan and got nearly no time to do anything due to the lack of communication and coordination on staffs part, as well as not doing what they said they would do. On the first day, they agreed to pick us up at a set time at the ferry terminal and give us a ride downtown, then pick us up again later that evening. They arrived over an hour late and then told us that if they dropped us off downtown, they couldnt pick us back up, although they had agreed ahead of time to do just that. They took us to the hotel where we were given a room that had no AC even though the reservation had said the room would have AC. The room was warm and if the window was open it was too loud to sleep because of the people partying at the bar/restaurant nearby. They agreed to take us downtown early the next morning to give us time to see the town for the day. The driver decided to leave early without us even though we were ready before the assigned time. No one else was available to take us for another 90 minutes. So we sat for all that time because the driver chose to leave before he had agreed. When someone did take us, the driver was very put out with having an extra 2 passengers. The staff who coordinated transportation didnt seem to care that they made us wait over 60 minutes one day and over 90 minutes the next for our ride. There was no apology or gesture made to make things right. We ended up only having about 2 hours to enjoy Ketchikan instead of the 6-7 we could have because of their incompetence. I pointed this out to staff when we checked out and they could have cared less. Poor customer service, poor communication, poor choice of hotel.

This was a girlfriend getaway. Yes, at a fishing resort. The setting is beautiful and there is so much to see and experience while youre there. We did an oyster farm tour, a Zodiac boat excursion, toured a hydroponic farm and hiked in the rainforest. What an adventure! Food & drinks: We ate most of our meals at Timbers restaurant. The food was some of the best we had in Ketchikan.

We had the most fun at Salmon Falls. The staff were all very friendly. Fishing was amazing. We brought home 50 pounds of halibut and salmon filets after two days of fishing between my husband and I and we are very much beginners. Captain Derrek was so amazing making sure we learned the art of fishing and helped us every step of the way. On our fishing trip, we saw whales, dolphins, sea otter, eagles, sea lion, harbour seals, etc. the lodge was in the best location with waterfalls and great sunset. Food was amazing. We will be back for sure and will bring friends and family. Noteworthy details: Great food and great fishing resort. Everything is taken care for fishing!
