This hotel is old, and the furnishings in the rooms definitly could use an update. Rooms are not remodeled as it is claimed on the web site, and the cleaning staff really needs to pay attention to at least spot cleaning the carpets. Sheila the manager was a peach, very nice and accomodating to any requests i had. I will... More

We stayed here in Aug 2012 because we were coming for a wedding and there was no rooms anywhere due to a music festival. Checking in was ok, nothing notable. Saying the room is dated is an understatement. White mold spots on the carpet, mildew on the bathroom ceiling, mattresses are anything but good, bathroom flooring is peeling back. There... More

Ok.... for $99 a night, in a tiny town... i sort of expected this hotel is going to be kind of scary, and I was totally right. First, at arrival, the exterior was totally unwelcoming. There's a bar attached to the hotel with guys smoking outside. They gawked at us like they have never seen tourists....... The lobby is same.... More

We just returned from a stay in Valez AK at the Glacier Inn. The hotel was advertised as newly remodeled, having a resturant, hair dryers and coffee makers in rooms. The location of the hotel in relation to the city of Valdez was great but the hotel itself needs work. Very low end and the cost of the rooms were... More

My husband and I booked a double room after first checking the hotel's website (www.glaciersoundinnvaldez.com) . The photos on that site are very misleading. The hotel has no rooms that come close to the photos used there. It has no ambience at all. It was relatively cheap and the rooms were very basic and clean. However, between the misleading website,... More

In the middle of the summer, accommodations in Valdez are very limited so we were glad we got this place as the Best Western was much more expensive. The rooms were spartan but clean and it was nice having a refrigerator. The staff was very helpful. The "continental breakfast" is not worth your time. Go up the street only a... More

My husband, four kids, and my father-in-law stayed here for three nights. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the rooms were nicely made up (ours didn't smell musty, but the window was open when we got in there). My only complaints were, that even though the bar is separated from the rooms, the public rest room for the... More

We stayed here 2 nights. After one of the best car rides of my life from Wasilla to Valdez we entered the city and arrived at the hotel.Quite Frankly when I saw it and walked into the Lobby, I was beginning to wonder if I made a good choice since I made the reservations through Expedia(it needed paint). The Clerk... More
