The price for Alaska was extremely reasonable. The staff were very nice and super accommodating. The hot water was endless and the water pressure was fantastic. The breakfast was good, as was the coffee. The place is outdated and could use some enhancements, but the room and bathroom were very clean and were great for what we needed which was sleep after a long day of fun! The location is also great, since it is right in town in Valdez, you can walk to all the breweries, restaurants, and museums.

No hot water first morning. No eggs, almost no bread at 8:45 first morning. Shower soaked bathmat somehow despite the fact that I carefully closed the curtain so it would not do that. But the shower had great pressure (when we had hot water the second morning). I slept well and the place was reasonably quiet.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was quiet. Room was completely crowded with bed and some cheap furniture so you couldn’t move or sit anywhere. Everything was old and musty and needed painting or redoing or recovering. Breakfast was minimal and not very good. We spent as little time possible in the room because it was so claustrophobic and uncomfortable.

This property was ok. Our room wasn’t ready when it was supposed to be, common areas like the breakfast area was dirty. Hotel looks run down. There was a faint fuel smell in the room. Beds were comfortable. We like that there was dining options within walking distance.

It was good enough for a quick stay waiting for the ferry but I wouldn’t stay for a getaway.

The Keystone is an older property, and the rooms are small. The room was very clean, the beds were comfortable and the sheets were clean. This is not a fancy motel but it’s clean, the staff were accommodating, and the breakfast service was nice.

If you're looking for a cheap place to stay in Valdez, this place is the one. It's not fancy nor is it trying to be. It's just trying to be a place with a small breakfast, and decent rooms. The walls are thin, the rooms are small, but you can't beat the price, the place is clean, and the staff is very helpful and friendly. There are a ton of places within walking distance--two breweries are two blocks away, the harbor is three blocks away, the museum is two blocks away...

We travelled with 2 other couples & every room had stained bedsheets. Carpets were stained & dirty. Floors all wonky. Windows locks were wood sticks. We are aware this is a small remote hotel/motel. What we did not realize was that it was an old container hotel put together for oil clean-up workers back when Valdez suffered that horrible oil spill. Place needs work & more attention to cleanliness.
