We had one of the worst experiences so far at any stay we had so far. Lady at reception was so confused that she mixed up our reservations. As a result, after check-in and almost going to retire of the day, we got to know that our room has changed. Literally exhausted by all day driving and right at 11pm we are again shifting our room. Lady at reception was not ready to except her fault. At first, she tried to argue and charge us more for the room. When I refused she quite unwillingly changed our room. I mean it was a complete chaos and unwarranted hassle. I will never recommend any one to ever stay here.
But I would appreciate amenities and manager managing breakfast who was very kind. He understood our request and helped arrange breakfast in time so that we can catch ur ferry in time.

Very disappointing experience. The room was not clean, and the service was pathetic throughout our stay. They also charged us an additional fee, claiming they had upgraded us to a different room. However, it was the same room type that I had originally booked, and I never requested or agreed to any upgrade. Overall, the stay was poor, and I would not recommend this property.

The property was very outdated. The room was super small and the bathroom was not clean. There were very few towels. Also the walls were paper thin and we could hear the next door guests late at night.
I had asked the front desk clerk, Josh? If we could stay in a 2nd floor guest room because we didn’t like noise. I also let him know we have a little dog, who is never noisy. He told me he would make an EXCEPTION and let us stay in a 2nd floor room. He said guests with dogs stay in a first floor room. He had quite a superior attitude when he said it! Then he had guests staying in the room next to us that were noisy.
We shortened our stay by one night as a result of all of the above.
The only good things out of our stay was the 2nd shift front desk clerk(not Josh) was extremely helpful and the breakfast was good.
We will never be back and we live in Anchorage.

The room was small and the bed was against the wall. You had to get in the bed from only one side. It was Howes, a very comfortable bed and the linens were clean. The towel rack in the bathroom fell off when I grabbed the towel from the shower. It was obvious that was not the first time. The rooms were some sort of container attached together like a work camp. No room fridge or microwave. No air conditioning. The main door was the only door for access, and we were the last room at the end of the hallway. Anywhere else, the rooms should have cost less than $100. I would stay there again if I couldn't find anything better.

Well, with the Keystone you get what you pay for. It's a cheap hotel. The building is old and delapitated. The rooms are quite small. Still uses old fashioned physical key to lock/unlock the door. There was no thermostat in our room. We had to adjust the opening of the window to maintain temperature, else the room got really hot. The free breakfast is a plus but has limited selection. Like I said, you get what you pay for here.

Budget hotel that is good bang for the buck. Friendly, helpful staff. Good parking. I like that biscuits and gravy was a breakfast option. Yes, thin walls, and the toilet rim wasn’t cleaned at all, plus there was a dirty stained towel on top of the shower rod. Perhaps certain housekeepers need a refresher in cleaning. But overall, I’ll stay there again.

Walls thin, but there was no one running or yelling down halls. 5 seasons it was not, but a perfect place to spend the night after a day exploring Valdez.

We really enjoyed our stay at Keystone Hotel in Valdez. Honestly, I don’t understand why this property has such a low rating.
People booking this hotel should keep its price range in mind. For the price, it’s very hard to find anything comparable in Valdez, especially a place that also offers free parking and a complimentary breakfast that is more than enough to start your day.
Yes, the hotel is not brand new, and you can tell that the building has been around for a while. However, what matters most to me is cleanliness. A hotel can be modern and luxurious, but if it isn’t cleaned properly, it becomes uncomfortable to stay there. Keystone may not be the newest hotel in town, but it is clean, and that makes a huge difference.
The mattress was comfortable, the bed linens were clean, the bathroom was spotless, and the shower was pleasant to use. We never had any issues with hot water. The staff were also friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. In terms of value for money, I honestly think this hotel has very few competitors in Valdez. If you’re expecting a luxury resort, this may not be the place for you. But if you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, affordable place to get a good night’s sleep, enjoy a decent breakfast, and spend your days exploring Alaska, Keystone Hotel is an excellent choice.

A place to lay your head. Appears to be for workers transiting through, or families awaiting the Alaska Ferry to another destination. Do not expect the usual hotel amenities. We arose too early to partake of breakfast, so I cannot offer views of what to expect. We needed to open windows due to heat, so we got road noise until fairly late. It is a metal building and similar to a bunkhouse, but with more private quarters.

initially hesitant due to the hotel's lower average rating, I was pleasantly surprised by our experience. The suite exceeded our expectations, offering plenty of space with three beds and two bathrooms(twice as the regular room). Although the property and equipment are somewhat dated, everything worked perfectly. Additionally, the complimentary breakfast was of a higher quality than many comparable inns. Given the convenient in-town location and highly competitive pricing, this stay offered excellent value. I am happy to leave a positive review.

We arrived late at the hotel as we drove from Fairbanks to Valdez. The staff were very courteous and considerate to leave a message & the key so we can able to get into our room as the reception is open only up to 8 pm for check in. Overall, the building is at the old town of Valdez, close to the ferry, price was reasonable, staff were friendly, a good place to crash in for a night after a long drive. The sausage was yummy at breakfast 😊

Filthy. Absolutely disgusting. Floors in the hallway look like they’ve never been vacuumed. Ever. Shower and sink faucets falling apart. Shower stall itself falling apart. The walls and all painted surfaces are incredibly dirty and stained. Bed linens were thin and stained. I assume they were laundered and just stained, but didn’t take any chances and slept above the covers. Yech. The first room we were assigned wasn’t cleaned properly and smelled like insecticide. The second room was cleaner. The hotel is in a good location and has potential to be really cute and unique. It can’t ever be super-luxurious because of what it is made from, but I think that could definitely be turned into an asset- it’s interesting and niche. People would feel a little closer to history. But you HAVE GOT to properly clean and maintain it. Please do better.

Stay elsewhere if your budget allows

This is an old, run down place and quarters are very tight and cramped. There is a handicapped ramp but NO ELEVATOR. I'm 72 and have arthritis and they stuck me on the 2nd floor which meant I hauled a 50 lb. Suitcase up a set of stairs with no offer of help. Breakfast was pretty good but carpet was old and stained and looked like no one had tried to vacuum it in weeks.

Not the greatest.

Way more run down than the pictures show. The carpet in our rooms were heavily stained and we had paint peeling off the wall above the window. The room had a slightly strange smell upon arrival but it did end up going away and wasn’t noticeable after a few hours. The furniture was heavily used and extremely worn. The nicest part of the rooms were the bathrooms. Every vending machine I saw was out of order and the breakfast area wasn’t that clean so we only ate the first morning. Both nights there was a lot of noise above us, like someone moving furniture at 10pm. We had asked in advance to have rooms right next to each other, which was confirmed before our stay and we were told we were locked in side by side. Upon arrival, the gentleman who checked us in seemed a little confused and could only get us in the same hallway several rooms apart. Wouldn’t be such a big deal, but we were traveling with children and had asked so it could be more convenient for us all to have rooms right next to each other. At the end of the day with slim pickings in Valdez, it was a roof over our heads but I do wish we would’ve paid even more to stay somewhere else since looking back, the cost seems a little high anyway for the quality and the pictures did not match the actual condition of the hotel.

Keystone is stinky

We arrived at the hotel and got our keys to our room, went upstairs to it and inside were trash cans full of garbage, sheets gone, blankets strewn across the furniture (maybe the sheets were in one of those piles). I went back downstairs and told the front desk, they said they have only one more room available. We lost our views, gained a room that upon entering immediately smelled like butane gas. Had to open the window and keep it open for a long time to air out. Even then, it continued to have a musky smell to it. 1 out of 5, would not recommend unless you have no choice.

If you like the smell of diesel fuel first thing in the morning, then this is the place. Carpet dirty, under the bed was flat nasty! No way to control the heat in the room. Continental breakfast was one step above getting a meal from a dumpster behind a restaurant. The reason I give a “poor” rating and not lower is, the shower was hot and powerful! Great way to warm up after a day of fishing in Valdez. It’s a converted pipeline man camp, which if I knew ahead of time, I have booked a room elsewhere.

Room smelled like gasoline because \"the heater was just turned on\" but the room only got colder.

If you just need a bed for the night, it'll do, otherwise consider camping, you'll hear your neighbors less.

This property is a dump. The furniture was falling apart, a foam mattress topper was put on top of an old mattress, there were holes in the wall, floor in the bathroom peeling up. Common areas not clean. The bed sore had likely not been washed in weeks. Cringe worthy. Stayed only as there were no other available rooms in Valdez

Unique

This is truly a an example of consummate repurposing. This hotel is built with Atco buildings, I would guess that came from the North Slope of Alaska, but they have been well fitted together, and repurposed as a moderate Hotel.
It was clean, the staff was helpful.
The rooms are small, the furniture is dated and well used but the amenities such as soap, shampoo Etc we're not cheap ones, The bathroom was a very comfortable size, and all things were clean. The shower was great We were comfortable.

I should have asked for a refund. We paid more than a nicer hotel. The hole bottom section of the hotel stank of diesel fuel fumes. My husband works for a fuel company so I know the smell. I have had a headache all day from sleeping in the fumes. How the fire department hasnt shut this hotel down is beyond me.

Despite some bad reviews, we personally found this hotel to be very good! It was clean, the staff was great and we loved being next door to a wonderful pizza place. They offered a free continental breakfast, and there was sausage and eggs there, and bread/peanut butter jelly to make lunch! They offer a community frig where you can put your beverages, etc. My friend told me the hotel was built to house the workers of the Exxon Valdez oil spill then later turned into a hotel. Both tourists and workers stay there now. Would stay there again.

Good value if you’re “on the go” most of the time

Small rooms. Not much space to move about. Beds were comfortable. No issues with hot water. Water pressure was good. Self service laundry available. 1 shared frig to store an item or two. Microwave avail in breakfast room. This place was converted from office space into a motel. The heating is central. Can’t control temp from your own room so your window is your thermostat. Open/close. Valdez is small so everything is pretty much walking distance if you want it to be.

Room was clean but a little on the smallish side. More like a dorm room. No real view because the window faced to the inside of the complex. No a/c, but they did have a fan that could be placed in the window to cool the room. Hotel was easy to get to and had plenty of parking. Lots of things within walking distance.

Good price and nice to find three beds in one room but otherwise not someplace I would recommend to friends.

Decent if you just need a bed

This was the second time we stayed here in a month. This time we stayed in a double room which had a double bed and two twin beds. It is a small room, but met our needs for the one night we were there. If you are just looking for a place to sleep after spending your time around town, this is a decent option. Breakfast was the same as last month: eggs, sausage, toast cereal and coffe/tea.

I was looking for a bed and a shower on this trip. All other lodging options in Valdez this time of year (August) charge a premium. This place worked out great and since it was only a place to sleep, I didn't need anything fancy. As other guests have noted, there isn't much in the way of soundproofing so you can hear your neighbors quite well. It didn't cause any issues for me though earplugs are recommended if you have sensitivity to sounds. The place is showing its age but is maintained well and was clean. I liked the fact it had a guest laundry so I could was my clothes and reset for the rest of my trip. The breakfast is nothing fancy, but again, there was enough there to start the day and there really isn't a breakfast place in town anyway. Great location in town and walkable to anything you need to see in Valdez. I saw many folks there on motorcycle trips. Definitely a great option for riders! I easily recommend this place to anyone looking for a low-budget option.

We had 2 rooms of the same type booked- got the bed size we reserved but the rooms were very different compared to each other when we checked in. Both had comfortable beds but very limited electrical outlets. One had more space and a much bigger bathroom. The other room was tiny, just enough room on the sides of the bed to get into bed, tiny bathroom- but the main issue was the overwhelming smell of diesel or petroleum in this room. Strong smell- not something you were able to ignore or got used to after being there for a while so we didn't sleep well. My PJs and any clothes not zipped in a suitcase still smelled days later.

This hotel is a series of converted shipping containers welded together into rooms and halls. I don’t mind the repurposing per se, but the rooms were claustrophobic, hot, and smelled very strongly of petroleum.
Our first room was clearly never serviced, with trash on the floor and sloppily made bed linens that had not been changed. To the front desk clerk’s credit, though, he was mortified and swiftly got us to a different room that was at least cleaner.
At its best, the property is still made up of just a bunch of crowded, stuffy, oily-smelly shipping containers with 70’s wood paneling and thin carpet.

it was a great place for the road construction workers. You had to climb 2 sets of stairs if you wanted coffee or breakfast. nothing in room to set luggage on, no refrigerator, desk was so small you really couldn't work at it much. Tv was difficult to use. Pipes overhead ran thru the room and noise from air or heat ran through the room, so needed ear plugs to sleep.

The price for Alaska was extremely reasonable. The staff were very nice and super accommodating. The hot water was endless and the water pressure was fantastic. The breakfast was good, as was the coffee. The place is outdated and could use some enhancements, but the room and bathroom were very clean and were great for what we needed which was sleep after a long day of fun! The location is also great, since it is right in town in Valdez, you can walk to all the breweries, restaurants, and museums.

No hot water first morning. No eggs, almost no bread at 8:45 first morning. Shower soaked bathmat somehow despite the fact that I carefully closed the curtain so it would not do that. But the shower had great pressure (when we had hot water the second morning). I slept well and the place was reasonably quiet.
