In our trip, this is the only place I could find in the town when I finalized the plan! I could not find anything thorugh all the major travel sites. I ended find this one by self. The staffs were very nice to help me booked it through phone/email. Actually I changed my plan a couple of times, and they... More

This hotel is simple but clean. We were allowed to view a room ahead of booking it. The room we were shown had a double and a twin in it and was quite small. We asked for a queen and we were told we could have a king for the same price as the room we were shown. The room... More

Everyone stays at the Best Western, so it was booked when we visited Valdez. The Keystone is a basic place, clean, no frills. We had some sound issues. But my biggest complaint was one night there was smoke coming through the air system. I don't know from where, but not any room close to us. That was annoying. The staff... More

The room was clean, staff friendly and helpful, we didn't have any sound issues. It's the cheapest place in town. Very convenient location. And you will spend the rest of your money on food in Valdez so opt out of the bigger hotels, you're not paying for much more than what you'll get here. You'll go further and still have... More

Good hotel, near the harbor. Nothing special about service or amenities, but the rates are the most cost-effective in town. Room are clean but it is impossibile not to listen some "physiological noises" of the neighbours, very thin walls. The continental breakfast is included.

We had the same experience of the manager/owner lady as a previous reviewer - very rude introduction at arrival. The rooms are very small, sparse, tired & stained carpet and bed coverings. We chose to stay for the price but wished we'd stayed somewhere else. The best thing about Keystone is the Mexican restaurant next door.

Clean, nice, very friendly service. Good, inexpensive self-serve laundry, excellent in-room lighting, reasonably priced. Easy and ample parking. Nice continental breakfast area. Convenient and within walking distance of a lot of the town. Desk always staffed, and by helpful people.

Pros: Good price, felt safe for the most part, front desk folks were nice/professional, the shower pressure was excellent, overall clean despite older furniture/linens, free wi-fi was nice too. Cons: The paper-thin walls -- why do they even have walls separating the rooms? I literally heard an entire couple rant about Barrack Obama, their TV, and more. It was as... More

With the exception of the manager/owner lady who is there in the mornings, the staff is very nice and helpful. The manager lady is abrupt and kind of rude. My husband and I walked in to check in and the first thing out of her mouth was a terse "You'll have to wait". Not a welcome or a "Hi, how... More

Accommodations in Alaska are usually not great unless you shell out some dough. The Keystone is clean except for cobwebs and spiderwebs. Spider hanging from web in bathroom was kind of gross. Bathroom lighting is terrible and walls paper-thin. Bed linens and beds are quite cheap, but so is the price, comparatively. I noticed other reviewers have also mentioned the... More
