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

All around great! I read reviews so when I saw the good reviews and high rating on Hotel Glacier, we decided to give it a try. I am so glad we did! The hotel didn't look like much on the outside but the lobby was nice and clean. Check-In was easy. Staff was pleasant and efficient. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was very good. $100/night less expensive than another nearby option. We will definitely stay at Hotel Glacier when we return to Valdez and would highly recommend.

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.
