The location was perfect for walking downtown, to the water and the marina. It's an older property but it was very clean and newer carpet.

Clean and had all the things you really need and none of the things you don’t. People come to Seward to be outside, not hotel chic. Property was maintained and rooms are basic. I would stay again. Great location. Can walk to town.

Staff was friendly and very accommodating. The rooms are basic but comfortable. The location was perfect for us - on the shuttle route, walkable to town and to harbor. Also very close to My Marathon trailhead.

Property is conveniently located in the town. But photos posted on Expedia website did not match the actual ambience. Still overall it was a good property.

MET OUR EXPECTATIONS - HAPPILY STAY AGAIN
Comfortable spacious room in good condition. Property is approx 700 metres from the Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise Terminal. Woody's Thai Kitchen only 100 metres away. A busy Friday evening where we had to wait 20 minutes for a table.

Very pleasant hotel. Although it is walkable to town is was a bit farther than I cared for. I have to say, the bed was not the most comfortable but the room was clean and service was good.
