Overview
by Phil Corless
Located in the heart of Skagway, Mile Zero B&B was built specifically as a guest accommodation. It has many hotel-like features, such as spacious rooms, large bathrooms, private patio entrances and sound-proof walls. Family-friendly rooms include two queen beds and room for a crib or rollaway. There’s an outdoor BBQ area available to guests, as well as chairs on a covered patio overlooking the flower garden. Kids will love the well-stocked toy chest in the lobby. There’s even a playground right down the street.
Skagway is a small, compact town, so everything is within walking distance of your hotel. Much of the town is a historical district with over 100 buildings dating back to the Klondike Gold Rush of the 1890s. From your B&B, it’s a leisurely stroll to any number of shops, restaurants and attractions. Five minutes away is the popular White Pass & Yukon Route Railway, a steam train that takes you on a round-trip journey into the mountains. Two blocks away is the must-see Days of ’98 vaudeville-style stage show. Your innkeepers will be happy to point you to tour companies for whale watching, gold panning and glacier excursions.

I really enjoyed the spacious rooms. The fact that the room was located out of the main traffic area of the cruise ship foot traffic. And that you could walk anywhere in town within 5 minutes. The glasswork you might have to get a ride and the zip line but most everything else is with in walking distance.My only complaint would be not being able to use the internet to talk with my wife for the four days i was there. Outside of that I rate the place and management as a 10 being great. I'd recommend this place to anyone needing a peaceful place to stay.

Be very careful as you may think this was the wonderful bed and breakfast of a year ago but it has markedly changed. Although they use the old website that still says bed and breakfast on the booking page, there is no breakfast. Their information page does say that breakfast is provided as an "in room self-service amenity" that includes a "variety of coffee/tea options and seasonal snacks". However, all we got was out-of-date "Clif" bars and some coffee pods with a few sugar packages from random places and no creamer/milk. When I asked for some creamer for the coffee the response was negative -- "No -- just what's in the room". The bed was comfortable but the room had a funky/moldy smell to it after the smell of bleach had disappeared. The room was not private as the back door did not have a lock to keep staff/owners out. The TV worked OK but the WiFi was either very limited or not available.
The poor hospitality and oddball breakfast "amenity" say I should give the Mile Zero a "Terrible" rating, but as the bed was OK and the TV worked, I give the place a "Poor" rating. Regardless, we will not return.
