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 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.

The downside is the place needs updating. There wasn't a phone. The shower lining was missing. It was quite expensive for what it is. The good points are the staff was very friendly and I'd say we were lucky to even find a place considering it's fishing season.

Vandana

No water in bathroom when we arrived so they gave us another room. I left my AirPods in the hotel and have not been able to locate any hotel staff to try and locate them. There is no direct phone number to the hotel. You have to call the Seward Hospitality Group, which owns a bunch of hotels including this one, but they never get back to you , and then don’t pick up when you call them back ( I called them multiple times). The place seems sketch and shady.
