No tv service, no lounge or restaurant as stated on the internet. No coffee maker. Remove the plug in air fresheners, it is awful for people with allergies and just not healthy at all.
Friendliest, most accommodating hotel in Valdez. I choose to stay here every time I am in Valdez for business because you can tell they truly appreciate their customers!
This is an older hotel that has been rennovated and is in very good shape. I would definitely stay here again as it is more reasonably priced than most other options. A free hot breakfast is a plus and staff very helpful. Nothing stands out as to anything we didnt like but I would have liked to turn down the temperature at night. We were able to open windows to let cool air in before bedtime and that helped.
Made a reservation at this hotel because they advertised having a bar. When checking in I asked when it open that evening was informed it would not be opening. I think for renovations. Later that evening I called the front desk because I could not get any tv channels and was informed the hotel was having problems with reception. Both issues should have been mentioned at check in with the option to cancel my reservation instead of having to discover the problems. Felt like the hotel was not being honest which is unethical.
The hotel has an amazing view of the mountains. I loved being able to open the window, have the fresh air and mountain view while laying in bed. The beds were very comfortable and the down comforters were very nice. Overall appearance of hotel is dated, but it was comfortable and close to walking distance to shops/food.
