Its a 2 story not new best western in Valdez - if you are expecting the Ritz or a five star resort, this isn't it.... actually I'm not sure anywhere in Valdez fits that bill. That being said, the staff couldn't be friendlier, we had clean rooms which were perfectly adequate, the breakfast goes beyond normal cereal and muffins (don't... More

Over all it was an okay stay. The location was great, restaurants and gift shops where just down the street within walking distance and we got a beautiful view of the harbor after we requested it. The hallways smelt slightly like an older building and the lighting was a little dark. The rooms themselves where very cleaned and decorated well.... More

I booked my hotel room two weeks in advance. I specifically requested an ADA room with a roll-in shower, since I'm normally in a wheelchair. Due to the ice melt and slush in the parking lot I felt it easiest to try my crutches... I made it with only one slip. Checked in for my room, was pointed towards the... More

Yes !this was a mistake on our part we did not have an ADA room available upon your arrival because of maintenance issues. But in our defense I did ready the room the very next morning and I believe I offered a lot more than just a drink in the bar the next morning. After all was said and done... More

This is by far the best place in Valdez. I had to stay a couple of weeks for work. Everyone is friendly, rooms are very quiet and clean. The breakfast is wonderful. I had stayed at some other places, and all you were given was dry muffins and cereal. The breakfast had many choices, including REAL eggs and sausage, yogurt... More

Unfortunately I had only one evening here, but had a very satisfying stay. A warm welcome, good facilities and a damn fine dinner made for a good stay. Will definately book back in here when in the area.

Unbeatable location close to the water. We had the chance to get the only room on the third level (kind of a "mezzanine "). Spacious, calm, nicely decorated. The hotel's restaurant is a bistro with a "bar section" and a restaurant. Customers are a pleasant mix of sweaty backpackers and more serious drinkers. Lots of fried food but you can... More

Christie and the rest of the front desk staff at the Best Western Valdez made this property a dream staging location for a large group like mine.
