We stayed at the Reluctant Fisherman for three nights during our stay in Cordova. As the previous poster mentioned, lodging options are limited and this seemed like the best option. I booked a harbor view room and requested a minifridge to be placed in the room (I was told it would be an additional ten dollars for the stay). We... more

First, let me say that lodging is limited in Cordova. From what we saw, this was the best place in Cordova, which isn't saying a whole lot. All in all, we are glad we stayed there. The location was fantastic, and the staff was very friendly. Our first impression was that it is definitely a property in transition- there was... more

Well it looks like I am one of the few that did not like this hotel. This is my least favorite place we stayed during our time in Alaska. I read that the current owners bought the place 3 or so years ago and have started to do some renovations but the hallway down to our room was dingy and... more

I stayed at the Reluctant Fisherman in late June of 2007 and paid up for a Harbor View room, which I very much enjoyed and highly recommend to those considering staying at this establishment. The hotel was in a transitional state at the time of my stay. The corridors were in progress, as was my room, which had just been... more

WOW what a place. This hotel is on it's way to being something really special. They are updating it as quick as they can. You wouldn't believe the remodel changes that are taking place here. It is really a great find. Their dining facilities on the other hand could use a CHEF. The food is bordering on average. The location... more

Although the decor was a little rough around the edges in the corridors, the breakfast a little spartan, and there only being space for 4 people to eat breakfast indoors at a time, the RF was actually a lovely place to stay. The views were beautful and the staff helpful, offering to pick up from the harbour. The room was... more

Greg, the owner of the Reluctant Fisherman, was an enormous help to us when our van broke down on the way back from our raft-trip take out on the Copper River. The regular tow-truck operator was out of town, so he and his son brought two vehicles 40 miles out the road late at night to tow our full loaded... more

Hotel lodging in tiny Cordova is rather challenging--but we were generally pleased with the Reluctant Fisherman despite a few quirks. Current management is gradually renovating rooms so its important to ask status in advance. One of our party's rooms was completely remodeled and excellent. Our own suite, which they made available to us upon special request, was hit and miss... more
