Great beds. Helpful staff. Excellent eggs!
Given age of the property and class level, this property totally exceeded our expectations. We are looking forward to staying there again
The location was great. Easy walk to stores and a few restaurants. The hotel has a rustic feel to it. The room was clean, comfortable bed. Best part was they had a fan to use.
Very convenient location...minutes away from the Alaskan Marine Ferry dock. Clean room, comfortable bed. Breakfast was ok, wish they had had an oatmeal option. Please note, this hotel does not have an elevator. If you have mobility issues, you may want to ask for a first floor room.
Clean room and awesome breakfast. Great view from the hotel

Parking was good! The hotel is very close to everything one needs in the harbor area! The room was clean and the bed was comfortable! The bathroom had a vent that I used all the time, however I could not get rid of the mildew smell in the bathroom which was very annoying!
Front desk reservation specialist who checked us in was kind, through and very helpful! I didn’t catch her name but she deserves a raise! The breakfast was very good and the staff was very pleasant and hard working!

Ok breakfast. Property is dated but decent. No elevator so keep that in mind. More modern options in town, not sure I’d stay again.

It’s a rather dated place, but serviceable. We enjoyed the jetted tub in our room! The breakfast was nothing to write home about. I had a good meal at the restaurant but my husband did not. Loved the end unit with windows on both sides & view of small boats entering the harbor. Staff was helpful when we had questions.
Since they don't have air conditioning, it'd sure be nice if the rooms had ceiling fans. It's in a nice setting and a great location in town. Valdez is so beautiful and no one should miss going to the fish hatchery. The beds were extremely comfortable. The breakfast was a disappointment though. It wasn't hot and it wasn't there! We arrived at 9am and there was hardly anything left. No one brought any new food out - we waited until 9:30 and left. Other guests were complaining too. We had a great visit.

It’s a good location and the staff was very nice. The issue we had was no heat, the noise of others and we didn’t get the room we thought we had booked. The staff did try to make it up by putting little heaters in the room because the heat did not work and bringing extra blankets. We booked a harbor view room through Expedia, but according to the staff, it was a standard room with no view. Again, the biggest problem was no heat. The staff was very good. I did hear a lot of noise from other guest. I would stay here again though. According to the staff working on the boiler the rooms furthest away, do not have good heat. We were in the last room on the far end so…
Perfect location right by the harbor, restaurant and bar, quick walk to shopping and dining
