Here are "Family
Friendly" B&B's:

Inn Right in the center of the
downtown area. A historic bakery right on the
premises.
And then some
hotels:
Juneau has all kinds of lodging options. You can find B&B's that serve sourdough pancakes, or you can choose a main stream hotel with modern ammenities. You can camp out in the wilderness by reserving a park cabin or camp at the US Forest Service campgrounds. The Mendenhall Campground near the Glacier was remodeled in 2004, so it even has showers with hot water. It depends on the kind of experience you are looking for. We also have some older rustic places to stay and some big hotels too, with nice restaurants. Near the airport you will find several hotels and places to stay that make catching a flight at the airport a breeze, if you stay downtown you will be part of the hustle and bustle no matter what time of year:
