Totem Hotel and Suites

This property was very clean and modern. Everything worked well, including the heat and free WiFi, and the rooms were large and comfortable. Beds and pillows were crisp and clean, and conducive to a very good sleep. Bathroom is spacious and extremely clean. Property is well located near the waterfront, although there is really not much to the town at all. Reception areas was very clean and bright, although staff was somewhat "formal", but not unfriendly. Breakfast was included and is probably a step above the "normal fare" you find in the main hotel chains. We would stay here again.

We had stayed at the Best Western before, when we decided to stay longer. They suggested the Totem. It is a bit more in price. But it was probably the nicest hotel I stayed in Alaska for the price. The breakfast was one of the better breakfasts, except the coffee was weak. Breakfast had a good selection of items. The hotel is located in the small walkable downtown near the harbor. The hotel is cleaner and new. I think hotels in Alaska have to be half a different standard than hotels in the lower 48 states,,parts of Canada and Europe. Alaska is a wild place that is harder on everything. It is a good hotel and if I came back I would stay here again.

Great accommodations , the staff is very friendly and knowledgable, the breakfast is far better than most hotels I have been in. Was there on business for a week and found the Totem hotel and suites to be very comfortable. The facilities were very clean and modern. My group talked with the manager who was able to help us quickly with our questions. Very easy to get to most places in Valdez just by walking from the hotel. I will stay there on my next visit.

We only stayed one night here getting in late after taking the ferry to Valdez. Room was clean and comfortable. The best part was they offer a free breakfast, which was pretty good. This was the only place we stayed in that had that on our road trip and it was a welcome relief from Alaska's high food prices. I also think it was the nicest hotel in Valdez. Would recommend.

Nice hotel, our tour stayed there 2 nights and we loved it. Walking distance to the docks and resturants. Had a welcone dinner which was good and buffet breakfast, but I don't think they are opened for lunch or dinner

The Totem hotel is a modern boxy multistory hotel about two blocks from the waterfront- so easy walking to multiple restaurants and activities. Keys were available to everyone on the tour, except us, when we arrived. That situation was eventually resolved. The large attractive lobby had the front desk. seating, gift shop and a breakfast area. The house has a small pool, unlike everywhere else we stay during our tour. Our eventual room was large with a double queen and medium sized bathroom. Everything was clean and operational. The decor was monochrome, with contemporary furnishings, no art, a refer, microwave, no safe, and acceptable in-room coffee ( three in a row). Very good printed guest information. The complementary internet worked well. The medium sized flatscreen tv had lots of channels and a useful guide. Good bed, linens and pillows. Good towels and toiletries. Good lighting and lots of outlets. The complementary breakfast does not start serving until 6:00 am, stacking up multiple tours creating substantial lines. The breakfast was average quality and variety, at best. An average 3 star house, in value and delivery- ok for one night.
