Talking to various people and reading reviews, if you ever find yourself in Valdez, this is definitely THE best place to stay by far. It is expensive but don’t expect whistles and bells! It is just a normal hotel. The guy on reception was quite cold and unwelcoming and not very helpful when we checked in, don’t know wether he was having a bad day, later he actually did help us with something, maybe he had had a coffee by then! There was an older lady on reception in the evening and she was lovely, Alaskan friendly, very helpful and lovely to chat to. Our room was extremely large with the most wonderful, comfortable king size bed and pillows, bathroom was equally large and had a decent shower, all nice, modern furnishings, the only thing that was utter rubbish was the wardrobe, I actually could not find it at first which shows you just how small it was, I have never seen such a tiny wardrobe in such a huge room, and only 4 plastic hangers inside! No ironing board or iron although you can ask at reception (obviously could not fit these into the tiny wardrobe). Breakfast room in the morning felt a bit cold and the variety of food for the price of the hotel was not brilliant although they had everything you could want. Good for an overnight stay, unfortunately we had 2 nights in Valdez which was one night too much in an extortionately expensive town with terrible restaurants.
