House on the Rock B&B

  : We arrived in Valdez on Sunday the day of Gold Rush Days celebration down town and the roads to the B&B were partially blocked (We ended up going to the celebration and having dinner there). but when we did arrive no one was there to let us in. We called Lorna, our host, and were given the code for home entry and and directions to our room. The B&B is located in a nice residential area in Valdez. The whole bottom floor is the B&B and the upper floor is where the family lives. There were four rooms with private bathrooms around a central area with dining table and kitchen, an adjacent living room with couches, massage chair and laundry room for guests. It was a very nice arrangement and we had the opportunity to meet many other interesting visitors, some from other countries. The breakfast was self serve with many foods like yogurt, juice, milk, muffins, bagels, cereal, eggs, etc.. We could also store our own food in the refrigerator. It was very clean and nicely furnished. We had a queen bed and another single bed in the room. The room was not large but with the community spaces is was very comfortable and felt very homey. Later, Lorna had lots of information about Valdez history and places to visit. It was particularly interesting how they handled the extreme amount of winter snow they receive, how they clear it from their roofs and from around their homes. Valdez is a smallish town and the B&B was within walking distance to many restaurants, the waterfront, museums, and the ferry to Whittier. We highly recommend this B&B Inn.

Disappointing

  : the location was good
  : The property description was misleading. The booking looked like a one room apartment with a kitchen and a living room. It is a room in a house with a shared kitchen and living room. It did have a private bathroom.

  : Relaxed atmosphere where you get your own breakfast in the mornings.
  : The kitchen bin! We were there for 2 nights and the kitchen bin smelt of fridge leftovers but never emptied. And after a very positive arrival we did not see our host for the entire time we were there. We would use again but would need to change our mindset about why we choose a B and B rather than a hotel.

  : Loved having a laundry facility. Breakfast was make your own but very adequate. Liked having tea or coffee available all day and a kitchen to work with.
  : I didnt like the sheets. Felt slippery , sleazy.
