Ordinary budget hotel at Alaska Valdez accommodation prices. Pretty warn down. Heaters are old style panels close to the floor with a control knob. We had to switch rooms because my wife couldn’t climb stairs easily. One room had firmer beds but we sank into the beds in the other room. Staff was very accommodating. Breakfast was okay. Heavy on carbs other than scrambled eggs. It is about a 7-minute walk to the harbor. Very close to restaurants, etc. by car. Opposite the Valdez museum and close to the visitors center. All in all, an okay place.

Excellent Service

The hotel is older and the beds aren't very comfortable, the water pressure was assaulting, and the shower head was hard to move to get away from the pressure. But the customer service was excellent and the staff was very friendly! They let us check in early, which was very appreciated after we had spent the previous night in a dry cabin, and it was a decent place to stay for the price. If you're used to luxury, this is not the hotel for you. But if your looking for something more accommodating than a dry cabin, this is just fine. I would stay here again.

Very basic and dated hotel. Sufficient for sleeping before fishing or cruise activities. 2 doors down from good restaurant. No USB outlets in room…would be a great idea to switch out lamps with ones that have USB ports.
