Great location in historic downtown Seward. Lots of places to eat, you can walk along the waterfront, Alaska Sea Life attraction nearby. You can also walk 1.5 miles or take the free city shuttle to the newer end of town, closest to the cruise ship pier.

Clean room. Bistro bar had good drinks, food, and a good bartender. The shuttle driver was very friendly and helpful. But it was a little expensive for not having a toilet/shower in the room. I didn't realize it only had a sink in the room and shared shower/toilet for the floor when I booked it.

The hotel was nice, but old and the room was very clean and spacious but we were very surprised that there was no air conditioning in the building. We live in the south and air conditioning is a requirement lol. They were very accommodating When we asked for a fan to circulate the air in the room and we stayed very comfortable. Very good location, close to everything we wanted to see And do.

Such a GREAT location in the city end of Seward. Walking distance between the shore, restaurant choices, bike/walking path, and a covered stop for the free shuttle (has 14 stops) to get around the Seward area which consists of City and Harbor areas.

The room was clean and tidy, the location was convenient, and the shuttle service was prompt. We were able to store our luggage at the lodge and were driven directly to the train station after checking out; we didn't retrieve our bags until we arrived in Anchorage, which was extremely convenient.

Nice, clean hotel. The rooms are not air conditioned so ask for a fan and you should be fine. Keep the windows open yo get fresh air.
