"Since they don't have air conditioning, it'd sure be nice if the rooms had ceiling fans. It's in a nice setting and a great location in town. Valdez is so beautiful and no one should miss going to the fish hatchery. The beds were extremely comfortable. The breakfast was a disappointment though. It wasn't hot and it wasn't there! We arrived at 9am and there was hardly anything left. No one brought any new food out - we waited until 9:30 and left. Other guests were complaining too. We had a great visit."
