Great location. Walking distance to everything we wanted. Only negative was no hair dryer in our room. Could tell where it was supposed to be. Other rooms had one so must have just been ours. My husband went to the lobby to ask for one but no one was available. We would stay here again

An older motel that provided ok accomodations. Even with temps in the 50's, the rooms were very warm. Small room with no place for luggage. Staff was wonderful.
The staff was great. The property smaller and is dated however, the problem is the plumbing is in-need of service. Our bathtub/shower was extremely slow to drain (yuck). You can tell drainage issues have plagued the units as wall access panels were of different colors (we rented 2 rooms). When that issue is corrected, the property will do for a night or two prior to leaving out on either a charter or cruise ship.
Room was pretty clean except for a few dead mosquitoes smashed on the wall..
the view is beautiful, the place is very close to all the restaurants
They also had 15% off for Kenai fjord tour
Close to good fishing across the street. 1 minute drive from where the tours take off for Kenai fjords NP. Room was run down. Huge cracks in the wall. Outdated appliances. The heater/Ac unit looks like it was made in 1955. Parking was good. If it was 60 dollars cheaper, I’d be alright with it but a little run down for the price.

Moya and Clarabelle were outstanding, they went out of their way to be helpful. The beds were all comfortable. The pillows were good. The towels were new. The big but was the shower that did not work, black mold on bathroom ceiling. Room smelled musty. We were able to clear out dank smell by leaving front door and slider open. Moya switched rooms for us. Second room smelled of mildew. Windows were possibly painted shut and the cranks were broken. We were able to force them open for some ventilation. I’ve stayed in worse, but 30 years ago the price for a dive hotel was under $50. This place has some severe deferred maintenance. $267 per night. Looking around, one really needs to spend $450 for an ok place in Seward
The hotel was very charming. Maybe not as fancy as a Hilton or Marriott but perfect for our stay in Seward. The staff was extremely accommodating and helpful.
Great view compared to a lot of other places. I like how cozy the room is, I wished we had a coffee machine in each room, but overall it’s the perfect location to everything including the cruise line, railroad and bus
The beds were very comfortable. The staff was very friendly. We looked how they had roku, so we could log in to Netflix for the kids while we were taking breaks between exploring and meals. We enjoyed our stay.
The service was excellent! They let you keep your luggage there until it is time to check in. And they let us keep our luggage there until we boardedbour ship. I would stay here again.

For a motel, not bad at all. The bed wasn’t too bad. It was pretty clean.
The Motel location is ideal to reach downtown or cruise terminal. All staffs including front desk and housekeeping are very nice and helpful. However, the motel's condition is terribly unclean in bathroom and disgusting bedding.
