I wouldn't call this a hotel, it is definitely a motel with pretty standard breakfast buffet fare. While the facility is showing its age and doesn't have much by way of amenities, I will say the bed was very comfortable and I probably slept better there than anywhere else I stayed over my three weeks in Alaska. The location is also good, I could walk anywhere I wanted to visit

Valdez, if you please.

We (me, Trophy Husband) are on a two month road trip from Nevada to Alaska and back. And we are hoteling it. So, I'm constantly reading reviews and looking to save some money if possible. This is why I picked the Glacier Hotel. They were more moderately priced than some of the other hotels in town. The Pros: The young man (I believe his name is Jamar) who checked us in was outstanding! Personable, helpful (we had an issue with no TV remote and he went above and beyond to find us one) and professional. The rooms are decent size and have the standard amenities; TV, microwave, mini fridge, hair dryer, windows with screens (this matters). Breakfast is better than average with something for everyone. Water pressure is incredible and shower water gets nice and hot. No frills and is centrally located/easily walkable to most places in town. Cons: No elevator. Only two stories but if you're an overpacker then your Trophy Husband may be grumpy after everything has been hauled upstairs. No AC. Use those windows to your advantage. This is an older property and shows its age. Travel Pro tip: We splurged on a Venty fan (portable, compact, rechargeable oscillating fan, on Amazon) and it has saved this trip - very few places have (a need for) AC. I can't recommend this compact fan enough, especially here! Use an eye mask, ear plugs and/or sound machine (app) to drown out some of the noise from late arriving travelers who have no clue it's as late as it is in the busy summer season.

Ordinary budget hotel at Alaska Valdez accommodation prices. Pretty warn down. Heaters are old style panels close to the floor with a control knob. We had to switch rooms because my wife couldn’t climb stairs easily. One room had firmer beds but we sank into the beds in the other room. Staff was very accommodating. Breakfast was okay. Heavy on carbs other than scrambled eggs. It is about a 7-minute walk to the harbor. Very close to restaurants, etc. by car. Opposite the Valdez museum and close to the visitors center. All in all, an okay place.

Excellent Service

The hotel is older and the beds aren't very comfortable, the water pressure was assaulting, and the shower head was hard to move to get away from the pressure. But the customer service was excellent and the staff was very friendly! They let us check in early, which was very appreciated after we had spent the previous night in a dry cabin, and it was a decent place to stay for the price. If you're used to luxury, this is not the hotel for you. But if your looking for something more accommodating than a dry cabin, this is just fine. I would stay here again.

Very basic and dated hotel. Sufficient for sleeping before fishing or cruise activities. 2 doors down from good restaurant. No USB outlets in room…would be a great idea to switch out lamps with ones that have USB ports.
