Harbor View Inn

Aleutian Islands


Affiliated with the Grand Aleutian Hotel, this basic 30-room inn is sandwiched between a shipyard and a fish-processing plant. The smell of cigarette smoke competes with the pong of fish and the bar downstairs is noisy. Grin and bear it – it's the only budget option in town.
