The staff is really helpful giving suggestions and help. The hotel room is very clean. The hotel is old. However, it is still in good style. And the price is really reasonable. I would pick this one if I travel to Valdez again.

Very nice check in. Super friendly and helpful manager and receptionist. Loved the accessible coffee and ice. Room deordorizer smell overwhelming at first, but nice to know it had been disinfected well. Easy access to marina, restaurants, museum, fish hatchery, and downtown. Felt safe.

The location is central, and the basic needs are met. The building itself is pretty dated and has that musk, but check in and check out was great and we slept very well. The attached bar is a bonus for some good ol’ Alaskan fun. Breakfast was basic continental but had good options and does the job for fueling you for adventures ahead. Staying here definitely gives off that old school Alaskan feel.

Older property but clean and convenient for one night stay before catching ferry from Valdez. Price was higher than I expected for property and area but due to short tourist season I understand this is how it goes. Front desk staff was kind and friendly.

Not many options to choose from - Valdez is amazing and wherever you stay you will be happy as long as you get out there and explore! This hotel was decent - pretty clean, but older and a bit musty smelling. Breakfast was good, shower sounded like it was going to explode but was hot and did the job. Great location - definitely over priced for the type of hotel it is.
