Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Our stay was pleasant. You are only a couple of blocks waking distance to restaurants, food trucks, harbor and other activities. We felt safe walking.
But beware, if you get a front room the traffic is very noisy. The double container trucks roll by all day and into the night. If you open the window you can't hear the TV. So bring ear plugs.
I'm assuming the room was newly renovated and it was in immaculent condition. The breakfast is way better than the standard continental breakfast at other hotels.

Convenient location, but the hotel is a little threadbare and the amenities, such as a limited breakfast selection and the lack of a coffee maker in the room, are just average. One shelf of the refrigerator was broken, making the refrigerator of limited use.

The room was dated but clean. The hotel is in a good location with free parking on site. We didn’t like the breakfast, it had limited healthy options.
Nice place to stay for visiting Valdez. Quiet. Great breakfast.

This property was just ok. The outside of the building was in poor shape. The room was fine, nothing special. Everything was clean, though. Dean at the desk was nice enough. The breakfast was fine.
This hotel is my go-to place in Valdez! Clean, comfortable room. Great shower. Friendly staff. One of the best breakfasts I've had at a motel. They even tody up the room and bring fresh towels everyday. This is a great place!
I go to Valdez every year, and this year we decided to stay at this hotel. Everyone was friendly, we were treated very well, and we'll probably be booking this hotel every year.
Thank you for everything!
Stayed two nights with my family, good sized rooms (we had 2) clean and tidy though one room had no view to be delighted with,the other looked over a snow capped mountain and the street outside. Beds soft and comfortable. Breakfast was basic but good, coffee, hot chocolate and chilled water always available in the reception area. Very happy and exceeded expectations.
A conventional hotel in a convenient location, across from the Valdez Museum and a short walk to many food trucks. A hot breakfast is included but it’s not particularly healthy (need more fruit options than just bananas). The bed was comfortable and the towels were fluffy. No gym. Plenty of ice. The decor would benefit from an update. The only odd thing was that the hot and cold faucet was reversed at the bathroom sink, but we got used to turning it counterintuitively. Fine place to stay for two nights.
