Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We stayed here for one night as we traveled through Alaska. We were put into the historical wing which is codeword for hasn't been renovated or cleaned in decades. The room was full of dust, did not have hot water, sheets and pillows cannot say how clean they were, and the bathroom/shower is shared in the hallway. The shared bathroom/shower we were aware ahead of time. The photos are certainly misleading, and the price was not worth the accommodations. Other hotels are cheaper with better quality. Staff could not explain where additional parking was, just said it was up the road, but at night there is no clear signage. They said to just street park instead, but need to move the car by 8am. The surrounding areas of hotel seward are nice in the town.

The hotel was very nice and in a great location. It was only a two min walk to all the restaurants and the Sealife Center. The room was very nice and clean and Paulette at the front desk was very nice and gave us some great restaurant recommendations. Would highly recommend this hotel and we will definitely stay here again the next time we visit

The room was cute and clean (as pictured). The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is optimal for visiting the Sealife Center, shopping, and dining options. It is a short walk to the waterfront. It is not located near the Seward boat harbor, but during peak season there is a trolley that stops near the hotel.

Paulette who manages this hotel goes out of her way to provide the best customer service! She gave us great advice and even lent us bear spray to stay safe while hiking. All staff was great too. Hotel is in a good location and just a block away from a bunch of restaurants, the Sea Life Center, and the waterfront.
