The room was clean. Bill and Lorna were fabulous hosts. Lorna pointed out the hiking trails, telling us about the views from each trail. She also recommended other places to visit like the Solomon Gulch Fish Hatchery. She also mentioned 2-3 restaurants that were open when we arrived. We chose an Italian restaurant. The food was delicious. The guest dryer didn’t work. Lorna took our wet clothes and dried them in her dryer. I would certainly stay here again.

Very comfy room to stay in with my wife and son. Slept very well. Nice open dining area and kitchen to eat at. Wish I could have tried the massage chair but I was so tuckered out from fishing 🙂

The property was very nice, and the check-in process went well. We were definitely a little taken a back with the fact that the family that runs the property was presently staying there. Where this isn't a deal breaker, and they were very respectful of privacy and very friendly, it was still a little bit of a surprise. Overall, it was a great stay, and we would book again.

Cons: I arrived at normal check in hours and no one was there to let me in. I had to call and wait for someone to show up. My shower water was ice cold. I had to call to get that fixed too. It would be nice to have a fan in the bedroom. Pros: Very polite and helpful staff, fixed my problems quickly, location, Light breakfast snacks are set out every morning. Massage chair.

Property is not a high-end destination, but it was comfortable. You get the use of a kitchen. Laundry was good. The staff was excellent but again this is not a high-end property.

6/10 Okay

This B&B is a converted house where individual bedrooms are rented out. Because of this layout, the breakfast area sits in a central hub directly connected to the rooms. While convenient, this design creates significant noise issues; sounds from the breakfast area carry straight into the bedrooms, and room conversations can easily be heard by neighbors. Additionally, the room felt quite cramped with two beds inside, and the shower is too tight for larger individuals. Worst of all, the bed was far too soft for a comfortable night's sleep. Breakfast options were also very limited, lacking adequate protein choices. Overall, we will likely look for other accommodations in the area next time. The host is very kind and friendly.

The folks that own the place are really nice and made the stay very enjoyable. The house is very clean and the rooms have plenty of space. It was often so quiet in my room, I thought I was the only one there.

Warm and cozy stay in Valdez

This is a very warm and cozy stay. The room and bathroom were very well set up. There was a common area to eat at. We ended up heating up food from the local Safeway for lunches and dinners and there was an assortment of breakfast options available. Valdez is a small town so it is easy to take a break from local sightseeing and come back to rest and recharge. We drove in from Wrangell–StElias NP and left via the ferry to Whittier.

Good sized room with private bath. Huge common area with living room, dining area and kitchen. A bonus was the free laundry with complementary detergent and softener. Although all four rooms were in use I felt as if I had the place to myself. That’s a good thing! This property had to be the most immaculate B and B, hotel, motel or inn that I’ve ever stayed at. Well stocked with all the amenities that you’d expect. I found the price to be very reasonable, less then hotels that didn’t offer everything that The House on the Rock did.

The hostess was very kind. She took time explaining everything about the facility and things to do around town. They had a massage chair which was neat! Each morning they set out a spread of breakfast items for our enjoyment. This place is family owned. The family was appreciative of our business. I would recommend staying here.
