“Best Western Valdez Harbor Inn is a peculiar mix of historic charm and modern necessity, catering to those drawn to Alaska's raw beauty and storied past. I appreciate the on-site dining, particularly for its embrace of local cuisine; plus, the complimentary airport shuttle is a thoughtful touch. However, some past guests have reported inconsistencies in cleanliness, which I hope the hotel management has addressed in the interim.”
