This time we stayed in the suites which were way nicer than the cabins. Service was good and it was quiet. So if you stay there, I'd recommend the suites. More

Thanks for taking the time to write a review and give us another chance. I am glad you enjoyed the suites. As far as the noise goes we are now limiting the hours of the outdoor deck and installing shielding to help with the noise. If you have any issues in the future please contact me directly 907-831-0699. More

This is a typical roadside motel, not at all what we were expecting. We stayed in the "business suites" because they offered a washer/dryer, but if they were a cut above the other rooms, I would not have wanted to stay in the other rooms. The washer/dryer were too small for much laundry (at this point we had been on... More

The hotel is nothing to crow about per se, but there is a dearth of accommodation in Valdez and nothing to be had during the high season. That said, the hotel was relatively clean, the A/C worked, and it had an excellent shower. The location is also quite nice. The best part of the stay was the restaurant however. It... More

We stayed in one of the cabins on a couple of nights when the bar got really going with very loud base music and yelling people, I did not get much sleep as it went way into the wee hours of the morning (past 3am). I called the front desk the first night and they said there was nothing they... More

I have stayed at this hotel a number of times over the years. The suites are quite nice- it is true, but not the standard delux rooms. I can truly say- the worst in 10 years of world travelling experience. If this was not a business trip- the room alone would ruin a vacation. The room was filthy. It was... More

We made a mistake by staying here. We stayed in a cabin. When we complained asking management to contact us, they did not do so. Stay anywhere else if you can. We agree with other reviewers. Ask to see the room before completing your check-in. Nothing will happen once you've checked in. More

The check in counter for this hotel is at the cash register of their restaurant. The help seemed much more interested in helping regular restaurant patrons than out-of-town tourists. They were not helpful with suggestions about local tourist spots. On check-out, I was ready to answer the typical question of "how was your stay". Again, the clerk was rushing through... More

There aren't many places to stay in Valdez...a place that you should visit. Hotel rooms are scarce, but avoid this place if you can. If you go to Valdez, don't stay here if you can avoid it. The floors in the cabins are filthy. We had two cabins and both were disgusting. The corners of the bathroom had so much... More

We has booked a cabin and received a free upgrade to a suite as the cabins were fully booked. The suite had a nice sized kitchen with things to make a basic meal, it had a living area with sofa, table and TV and the bedroom had a good sized bed, TV and washing machine and drier in the corner....
