My husband and I stayed here during a conference. We stayed in a suite. The room was spacious, with laundry right in the room, a full kitchen, a big screen tv with DVD player, and a fully appointed kitchen. The restaurant in the main building was always quick and tasty with all the basic breakfast, lunch, and dinner items available... More

The family and I stayed in one of their newer suites for several days and were very pleased. With living room, bedroom, kitchenette, in room washer & dryer and super fast internet (for AK). All of these amenities made for a very nice stay for us during our time in Valdez. The staff was also very nice and accommodating. We... More

I highly recommend this facility to any frequent traveler. I spend 3 out of 4 weeks a month "on the road" and Totem Inn/Restaurant has become my "rest" spot for the month. My two priorities are a great bed, and excellent internet. Totem provides these AND great food, (or a kichenette if I choose to cook {NOT}) AND Excellent customer... More

I don't recommend this place mostly because the customer service was lacking and the facility needed known repairs which went unaddressed. Upon our arrival, we found that the mattess pad on the hide-a-bed (couch) was filthy, with old blood stains, dried urine stains and pet hair. I might be able to overlook this, assuming that it was an oversight with... More

We had a lovely suite with full kitchen - loved the big fridge and clean and tidy cupboards. Corridors were stiflingly hot though. Really appreciated the washer and dryer but why put it in the bedroom? Good job my husband can sleep through anything (whilst I did the laundry!) Would have been very comfortable here for more nights but had... More

Elaine, Thank-you for your great review of our Hotel and Suites. In regards to your dining experience, I have spoken with both the Chef and the floor manager. We have now drafted a clear and concise policy on checking IDs. I'm glad your husband enjoyed his steak. Chef Jerid will speak with his staff regarding your review of the salmon.... More

Rooms here wreak of smoke and dirt. Management is not responsive to any of your concerns once they have your credit card info! It doesnot matter if you request a non smoking room - they will put you in a smoking room and you can spend the night breathing the filthy air! We loved Valdez but totem inn spoiled the... More

I am so sorry this happen to you. I am sensitive to smoke as well and understand your concern. We missed the mark by not noting your request for a nonsmoking room. The hotel was booked to 100% and the only room left was our one smoking room.... And, the town was also completely sold out. Moving you to a... More

The suites are very nice and an excellent value. Very clean and have all of the conveniences I require in a Hotel. The food in the restaurant was excellent and the staff courteous and helpful. I travel extensively and this was a great choice.

The Totem Inn is a wonderful place to stay while vacationing in Valdez. We have stayed in both the regular hotel rooms and the suites. Both are clean and comfortable. If you are staying for several nights I would recommend the suites. They are very spacious and have the feeling of "home away from home." The location of the Totem... More

The Totem is a great hotel in the heart of Valdez, I've stayed in the regular hotel rooms, the cabins, and the suites, and all were nice, clean, and comfortable. Yes, it can be noisy in the summer, but Valdez is a summer tourist town, it's noisy all over the place in the summer, and I've experienced this from other... More

This is a lovely, family owned, hotel with an excellent restaurant. Though some of the reviews here seem negative, my room was very clean and well put together. Being a native of Alaska I didn't find the prices to be any more expensive then other hotels during the tourist season. I would highly recommend Totem to any visitors to Valdez.
