8.8/10 Excellent! (20 reviews)

Great location in Valdez with walking access to museums, restaurants breweries and the marina. We stayed two nights and never needed our car. Spotlessly clean and well-designed room with an excellent smart TV that allows us to log in to our own streaming accounts. Very nice coffee shop in the lobby. The only downside was the logistics of checking in. We got an electronic form that needed to be completed a day or so before we arrived, which was a pain we didn't need while on vacation. Then we were supposed to get an online key, but we ended up getting a text that a keycard was being placed in a lockbox. It all worked out, but it was a bit strange. There was a woman sitting in the lobby most of the time we were there, but there was no need to interact with her after the online checkin process.
