I was looking for a bed and a shower on this trip. All other lodging options in Valdez this time of year (August) charge a premium. This place worked out great and since it was only a place to sleep, I didn't need anything fancy. As other guests have noted, there isn't much in the way of soundproofing so you can hear your neighbors quite well. It didn't cause any issues for me though earplugs are recommended if you have sensitivity to sounds. The place is showing its age but is maintained well and was clean. I liked the fact it had a guest laundry so I could was my clothes and reset for the rest of my trip. The breakfast is nothing fancy, but again, there was enough there to start the day and there really isn't a breakfast place in town anyway. Great location in town and walkable to anything you need to see in Valdez. I saw many folks there on motorcycle trips. Definitely a great option for riders! I easily recommend this place to anyone looking for a low-budget option.

We had 2 rooms of the same type booked- got the bed size we reserved but the rooms were very different compared to each other when we checked in. Both had comfortable beds but very limited electrical outlets. One had more space and a much bigger bathroom. The other room was tiny, just enough room on the sides of the bed to get into bed, tiny bathroom- but the main issue was the overwhelming smell of diesel or petroleum in this room. Strong smell- not something you were able to ignore or got used to after being there for a while so we didn't sleep well. My PJs and any clothes not zipped in a suitcase still smelled days later.

This hotel is a series of converted shipping containers welded together into rooms and halls. I don’t mind the repurposing per se, but the rooms were claustrophobic, hot, and smelled very strongly of petroleum. Our first room was clearly never serviced, with trash on the floor and sloppily made bed linens that had not been changed. To the front desk clerk’s credit, though, he was mortified and swiftly got us to a different room that was at least cleaner. At its best, the property is still made up of just a bunch of crowded, stuffy, oily-smelly shipping containers with 70’s wood paneling and thin carpet.

it was a great place for the road construction workers. You had to climb 2 sets of stairs if you wanted coffee or breakfast. nothing in room to set luggage on, no refrigerator, desk was so small you really couldn't work at it much. Tv was difficult to use. Pipes overhead ran thru the room and noise from air or heat ran through the room, so needed ear plugs to sleep.

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.

Never again.

The room carpet was in desperate need of cleaning. The desk chair was an old wooden and metal school room chair. There was a distinct urine smell. Probably the most disappointing was breakfast. It started at 5:30 AM. I went up at 5:57 AM and there was little to choose from. There was coffee, toast, butter, jelly, dry cereal (no milk) and some fruit. There were four other men up there all having toast and coffee for breakfast.
