Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was available at the last minute, which was a relief during a busy weekend. The room was clean, and the staff member at check-in was personable and friendly. However, the décor felt outdated, and the breakfast selection left much to be desired. The parking right outside was convenient, but I wouldn't choose to stay here again given the overall experience.
I had mixed feelings about my stay. While the hotel was affordably priced and the staff was very accommodating, the room conditions weren't great. The breakfast was a nice surprise, and we appreciated the dining arrangements. However, there were some cleanliness issues that made the experience less than ideal overall.
I had a decent stay overall. The Glacier Hotel offers clean rooms and good service at a fair price, making it a solid choice if you're looking to explore Valdez on a budget. However, the experience could be marred by some outdated features, such as low beds and a TV that didn't work properly. It's a good spot if you're not expecting luxury.
I’ve been to Valdez several times over the years, and staying at the Glacier Hotel was a great choice for me this time around. The rooms were clean and spacious, and I appreciated the comfort they offered. The service stood out; the staff was very accommodating during our stay. The location is convenient, just a short distance from the ferry terminal. The breakfast was also a highlight, with freshly made omelettes and plenty of options. However, it's not a luxury hotel, so if that's what you're looking for, you might want to keep looking.
I had a pleasant stay at Glacier Hotel. The rooms were quite spacious and comfortable, giving a good amount of counter space, which I appreciated. Breakfast options were varied and satisfying. However, the decor was not to my taste, and I had a bit of a frustrating experience at checkout. Overall, it’s a solid choice for value for money if you're in Valdez.
