Hotel Glacier is dated, but well-maintained. Our room was very clean. The hotel bar is small, but very comfortable, and Theodora could not have been more helpful.
We were very happy with our stay at the Glacier Hotel in Valdez. The breakfast was a quick and easy start to our day. Taodora at the front desk was very helpful with our requests.
Great location and clean room. Reasonable price for what you get. Breakfast has eggs and sausage and biscuits and potatoes and cereal and bagels. Good selection but quality of hot food not the best. Still great value here in valdez and plan to stay again next time.
The staff is really helpful giving suggestions and help.
The hotel room is very clean. The hotel is old. However, it is still in good style. And the price is really reasonable. I would pick this one if I travel to Valdez again.
The room was older but very clean and furnished with all the necessities. The breakfast was good. Staff were very helpful. They even changed our flat tire and helped us find a repair shop.

Very nice check in. Super friendly and helpful manager and receptionist. Loved the accessible coffee and ice. Room deordorizer smell overwhelming at first, but nice to know it had been disinfected well. Easy access to marina, restaurants, museum, fish hatchery, and downtown. Felt safe.
Older property but clean and convenient for one night stay before catching ferry from Valdez. Price was higher than I expected for property and area but due to short tourist season I understand this is how it goes. Front desk staff was kind and friendly.
Staff were friendly and the place was clean. The bed is a bit soft for my taste, but some people like softer beds.

Not many options to choose from - Valdez is amazing and wherever you stay you will be happy as long as you get out there and explore! This hotel was decent - pretty clean, but older and a bit musty smelling. Breakfast was good, shower sounded like it was going to explode but was hot and did the job. Great location - definitely over priced for the type of hotel it is.

Older property ,with older furniture but the place was clean safe and quiet
Very good for the price. Staff was incredibly helpful. Updated interior, dont let the older exterior fool you. Wonderful breakfast buffet. Great for families. Right across the street from the Valdez museum and walking distance to everyrhing in town and the water front.
