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.
The mattress had tons of what looked like black pepper and blood stains all over it, it was covered in bugs. My daughter got bit all over. I tried calling downstairs and no one answered, I went down there and no one was there for over 30 minutes. The lady even told us that if we got locked outside at night, she would buzz us in. That was a lie because she wasnt at the desk to let anyone in! We werent able to find anyone to tell them the room had bedbugs and we left an hour after checking in and never got a refund! Never stay here! You can tell how old and outdated everything is at this place. An ice maker from the 80's, lamps and bedding from the 90's, 10 year old mattresses and 15 year old TVs in the room and nothing worked. Absolutely terrible experience and I was charged for just being there an hour or less because the front desk goes to sleep after 10pm.
The room was clean and comfortable. The facility was easy to find and the harbor is within walking distance. The breakfast was amazing! Lots of choices and delicious.

It was fine, it's just a basic motel. Breakfast was quite good, the beds were quite hard and springy.

This is not a pet friendly hotel. They do not allow pets. We paid, went all the way there and were turned down because we had pets. The staff was AMAZING and referred us to another hotel with availability bit....definitely NOT pet friendly
I stayed the night with a friend and everything was perfect except for one little thing: when taking a shower, the water would, without warning, suddenly turn very hot, go back to normal, then turn ice cold. Other than this, the rooms were spotless, well maintained, and the service was excellent.
When I walked in the room, smelled clean (like bleach) and looked clean- I turned on the heater and then my room had a smell so awful I slept with the window open all the way -despite the rain- and the bathroom fan on all the time. There was trash under both beds.
Across the hall my co-worker had mold on the ceiling of his bathroom. They did come clean it with bleach that night, and the next day sent maintenance to cut out the mold and replace the sheetrock....not a great experience.
Breakfast was the best thing about the stay
Beds are uncomfortable, outdated rooms , no coffee for convenience in the rooms , carpet was dirty & needed upgrades

Some concerns
The hotel is somewhat run down. However, looking at the other hotels in Valdez, which also appear rundown, this hotel was average. The baseboard heater made it hard to adjust the room temperature. The largest issue we had was that the mattress is actually about 6” larger than the frame underneath. It caused the edge of the bed to fold over. This should be fixed by replacing the frames with the correct size.
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.
