Comfortable stay, good location. Has all the amenities except for A/C and elevator (in case anyone can’t do stairs, would not advise). Dining, shopping and perfect views just steps outside. If you want to cast a line, plenty of great fishing.

This hotel has a great location on the Valdez harbor and is adjacent to the main areas of town. The rooms were comfortable and functional. The nicest aspect of the hotel was the casual and friendly vibe. The staff were friendly, helpful and sociable. The hotel had a rustic ambiance. There was a decent common area and nice breakfast. It didn't have a guest laundry or exercise room, but the location made up for that. Overall, this was a good stay.
