Nice Staff, Basic Accommodations Stayed here because it was the only hotel under 200 dollars in the area. Alaska really overcharges on their hotels in the summer. The front staff were very helpful and friendly. Our beds were comfortable and there were black out curtains. The bathrooms were wiped down, but needed a good deep clean, as did the room overall. The bottom of our sheet was wet and we hoped that it was still wet from being washed and not something else. Also, they say they have wifi, but it is only guaranteed in the lobby. We could not get it to connect. Not fancy, but did the job.

Will stay somewhere else next time This is not my favorite hotel. The heat was off when we checked in, so the room was very cold. Our room had a weird pipe in the bathroom, and we could hear water running through it off and on when we weren’t even using any water. The walls are thin; we could hear the people in the next room. We didn’t sleep well here because of all the noise from the room next to us, plus the weird water noise. No breakfast provided, only coffee and tea. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Avoid at ALL costs This review is from folks that live in the Mat-Su Valley. We have driven by the Grand View Inn hundreds, if not thousands, of times and never had a reason to stay, until recently. We stayed here for over a week while the insurance company figured out how long we would be displaced after a frozen pipe flooded our home. It was 9 nights too long for a 9-night stay. There are multiple signs stating “COVID safe practices”, which NO ONE follows. There is a request to wear masks right at the front desk, yet nearly no one wears one. The staff who do have a mask wear it around their chins (mostly housekeeping); only one front desk member wore a mask part of the time. Our “Grand” view was of the Parks Highway and Dodge dealership across the way, the only saving grace in that the blackout curtains worked well. When it was windy, as it frequently is in the Valley, the heating unit control flap on the exterior would bang around constantly. We heard the traffic all night as well, even over the noisy heating unit. One morning, the toilet plugged, and the front staff member told me that I would have to wait a few hours for housekeeping to show up in order to get one. It was not until I said that I had someplace to go within the next hour and my wife still had to get ready that the staff member went downstairs and obtained one. When it came to getting fresh towels, we called the front desk to have some brought up to our room but were informed that you must bring down your towels, throw them into a bin near the front desk and collect new ones from the staff. Same goes for the sheets; I cannot comment on the comforter or thicker blanket as we didn’t try to change that. When it comes to cleaning, your room only gets cleaned upon checkout. There were stains on the bottom mattress sheets that looked old. Do not expect that the staff took the proper precautions of wearing masks and gloves while cleaning, so bring wipes and do some cleaning yourself upon check in (better yet, check in somewhere else). When I requested a vacuum so I could at least clean up the sand from the floor, I was told that they could not provide one and the room would be cleaned when we checked out. How does that help us? Oh, it doesn’t. How can they possibly operate a clean hotel with that attitude? Gross. When we learned that they would not even provide cleaning supplies for us to do their job, we checked out immediately. Fortunately, we found another place to stay that night. There is a laundry room in each building. The “Inn” side has three washers and driers, and I presume the “Suites” side is similar. It is $2 per machine that run about 35 minutes wash and 40 minutes dry. If the door is closed, you will need to get the access code from the front desk. Even though there are set hours for operation, the room was typically closed every time I went down. The main cleaning area door is right next to the laundry room. On the door, there is a sign to keep the padlock closed so it doesn’t get stolen. Apparently, it must have happened a few times to warrant the sign. The noise hours are not enforced at all, and you will likely be get a meth head (or two) that likes to start cranking the tunes to ear shattering volumes around midnight until nearly 0500 somewhere nearby. When you call the front desk, they claim that they will “try” to find the source but expect to continue to hear the noise for a few hours while they search. I cannot give a complete review on the “Grill” downstairs other than the only staff member I noted wearing a mask for COVID precautions was the room service delivery member. Between the lack of concern for adequate COVID precautions and the nonexistent cleaning schedule, the name should be changed to the “Grand Spew’n”. We highly recommend you find another location to stay while in the Mat-Su Valley unless you are truly desperate. It is unfortunate that we had to give a local business such a poor review, but we do not want others to have a similar terrible experience to ours. We hope this business cleans up its act, both literally and figuratively.

Nothing special The view out of the room is nice but not sure it’s worth the price. Room was OK buddy I’m bad we’re OK towels a little on the thin side. Had better value for my money when I stayed last April through Airbnb

It’s 11:30 pm and the music below is still going Called the front desk at 8 pm and mentioned the music from next door is too loud. Called again at 10:30 pm and the desk says there’s an event going on downstairs she didn’t know about and she hoped it will quiet down by 11 or maybe midnight. Guess the concept of sleep isn’t known here.
