Seward hotellia

Plussat: Furnishings and decorations

Miinukset: Almost nothing

Plussat: Sara was great getting us settled in and she made a fantastic breakfast. Each room had its own bathroom. There were restaurants, shops and a water front walking trail all within blocks of the location.

Miinukset: We didn’t book an extra night.

Plussat: My wife and I stayed for 3 nights at the Northern Lights B&B Bear Glacier suite. Overall the place met our expectations. The great things about the place were that our "suite' was large with two rooms and good size bathroom; it was just two blocks from downtown; had good parking; staff was friendly and helpful; breakfast was made to order; good and PLENTY of food; they allowed guest to use the kitchen in the evening where we made two dinners; and their front room was comfortable with a table right next to the front window where we played cards and read. We also could use their washer and dryer for a very reasonable fee. I would note they run another unit called The Front Row (we think). It is a newly constructed condo we believe. The guest there come to The Northern Lights for breakfast. Guest from their said it was very nice and looked right out on resurrection bay.

Miinukset: There were several less positive items. The place's décor was fine but it is a little staid. Our queen bed was very firm - much firmer than I would ever expect in a B&B or hotel room. I had trouble sleeping on it the first evening but adapted afterwards. Finally the noise in our room in the morning was loud. They start breakfast in the morning around 6:45. Kitchen noise, talking and people walking on the first floor or stairs coming down were all loud. It is not likely someone would sleep past 7 am in our suite.

Plussat: It is a short walk to the ocean and very close to great restaurants. Sara cooked an amazing breakfast and was delightful to talk to. I highly recommend this bed and breakfast.

Plussat: Sarah is a wonderful host

Plussat: We enjoyed our three day stays at the place. Our host Sarah cooked a fantastic breakfast every morning!

Plussat: Good location away from downtown and quiet.

Miinukset: No microwave in the room.

Plussat: The access to a gym in town. Had to ask to learn about it.

Miinukset: For the price, most hotel provide free coffee, etc. Especially relevant due to the location of the hotel. The remote location makes added amenities more desirable.

Plussat: Stunning place to stay. Room was great, lovely to look out over forest to mountains, and be able to walk out the front to see more mountains and the river. Food was good, staff really helpful. Always ask the shuttle drivers for tips, they know the best places.

Plussat: Loved the location there was a restaurant that was beautiful and the food was very good

Miinukset: All good

Plussat: The atmosphere of the lodge and property was pleasant and complemented our stay in Seward.

Plussat: Comfortable bed with enough blankets. Large bathroom with good shower water pressure. Location near main st. Staff responded to email and calls quickly. Plenty of breakfast items. All fat access to kitchen. Probably different experience in upper rooms but no elevator...

Miinukset: Noisiest place I stayed in Alaska. The room above me could hear them walking around it would shake so much I thought plaster might fall down or I might see a foot come through the ceiling. Also vibrating the light fixture and vents. Could hear conversation and coughing as well. Blinds without black out curtain. No temperature control. Room was cold.

Plussat: I appreciated the time Melody the coastal properties manager took with us when we arrived. The room and bathroom was spacious and clean. We were a block away from the free shuttle and close to shops, Sea Life Center and restaurants. The library one block away had a stellar view and offered free movies about Alaska Iditarod trail and 1964 Alaska Earthquake. There was also a nice museum to walk through in the same building as the library. Free continental self serve breakfast was great. The following foods were available: eggs, pancake mix, oatmeal packs, cold cereal, sprouted bread, white bread, jam, butter, peanut butter, bagels, sour cream, pastries, muffins, cow milk and coconut milk, tea, and coffee. We were in the shell room. It was comfortable and quiet. We enjoyed our accommodations and would love to stay again.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Good range of foods at breakfast. Nice size room and lovely views

Miinukset: very minor, but toilet seat needs to be tightened and do not disturb sign was out, but room was made up.

Plussat: A shared kitchen, however we had it to ourselves for breakfast.

Plussat: Although there were no staff on site Every effort had been made to welcome us & make our stay pleasant, info, great breakfast facility, VERY clean.

Miinukset: Bed creaked when you turned over? Base. I thought it would have been more professional to have typed notes.

Plussat: It's cozy, clean, and everything is useful; just what I expected for the price I paid. it has a little kitchen area for everyone at the site to share, which I thought was nice.

Miinukset: We can hear EVERYTHING through the walls. Pretty sure we and our friends downstairs could hold a coherent conversation if we tried.

Plussat: Nice location, very clean and comfortable room. The well stocked kitchen was a nice bonus.

Plussat: Staff offsite, but attentive and nice. I was concerned about light coming through shuttered windows, keeping me awake. They brought over blankets & tacks to make sure room was darkened. The view from the room & deck was lovely. The kitchen was stocked for breakfast. Location was fantastic. Wish I had booked more time here.

Miinukset: Having to leave so soon.

Plussat: Felt like a bed and breakfast. Breakfast offerings were varied and delicious. Room was very comfortable

Plussat: Access to full kitchen. Off street parking, close to everything! Very comfortable.

Plussat: The room was very nice and clean and very well situated.

Miinukset: The room was small for 3 people, it would be ideal for a couple.

Plussat: The location, the amenities, and the size of the room were great.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: I love this little lodge. The bed was amazing, I had a great nights sleep. It offered oats for breakfast and check in was simple. Perfect for our overnight stay

Miinukset: Nothing. It was great!

Plussat: The fact that there were generous supplies of coffee, oatmeal and extra "niceties". Really enjoyed and appreciated our stay.

Miinukset: Need proper size filters for coffee pot and a scoop for the coffee grounds.

Plussat: Great location and great prices

Plussat: Room was very nicely furnished. The coffee station was much better than a typical hotel room would have.

Plussat: Location is excellent nr downtown Seward but also harbor. Good service, no-host check-in works well. Comfy beds, clean as a whistle. Basic but great. Mi nifridge and micro, coffee maker. Good hot water. Clean towels (located next to coin laundry too for those needing it!).

Miinukset: Liked it would do it again.

Plussat: Cozy sparkling clean cabin very close to Seward snd Exit Glacier. Cabin is big with a microwave and coffee maker

Plussat: The place is new but it has a classic appearance.

Plussat: Conveniently located a short drive from Seward, Exit Glacier Lodge is a lovely cozy accommodation. The staff is very helpful and was quick to help us with contacts of the nearest clinic when our 3 yr old fell sick during our 3 day stay. The Salmon bake pub that is attached to the lodge offers is a nice and lively option for dinner. Would recommend this place for those looking for a short stay in Seward before and after the day cruises

Miinukset: It would have been great if the property could offer basic breakfast, given that Salmon bake does not open for breakfast. It does offer tea/ coffee and also access to a little pantry where guests can prepare simple breakfast.

Plussat: It was a house converted into a hotel. Large room, quiet location.

Miinukset: Need a vehicle to get around. Not walkable.

Plussat: Quiet location. Great staff.

Plussat: location is convenient, a few miles from center of Seward; very clean, adequately comfortable

Miinukset: Bed against the wall and nailed to floor made access/exit difficult; also a problem when I I dropped my stylus and could not get to it!!

Plussat: We liked the location of Exit Glacier Lodge just on the outskirts of Seward and closer to Exit Glacier. It was clean, quiet and was less pricier than lodging close to town. We made good use of the kitchen area for making our own simple meals. There was hot coffee each morning, a microwave, dishes, utensils, napkins, etc. The host went out of her way to accommodate a couple small requests and our late arrival. Had a great meal next door at the Salmon Bake and enjoyed socializing with locals and staff after closing hours. Hope to return someday!

Miinukset: Maybe next season smooth out the parking area? Thanks!

Plussat: I literally didn't want to leave the Cloud 9 Cabin at Angel's Rest. It was so relaxing and just what my soul needed, even with the rain. The owners are very communicative in a helpful but unintrusive way. The accomodation is very comfortable. I loved that there was a fire pit, grill and burner to cook on. I purchased locally caught fish and vegetables to cook at the cabin. This cabin is a short and convenient drive from the center of Seward, but it feels remote. I could sit on the patio for hours and enjoy the views of sea otters and whales with the sound of waves along the shoreline. 10/10 would come back again!

Miinukset: Nothing, honestly. I loved my stay!

Plussat: Privacy, quiet, well lit for coming late ,all the personal touches

Miinukset: Room small with our luggage

Plussat: A R is a set of semi-remote cabins on the shore of Resurrection Bay just outside of Seward AK.. Quiet , serene, warm and comfortable suites with a fantastic view across Resurrection Bay.

Miinukset: The view, the location and hands- off approach to hospitality.

Plussat: The location on Lowell Point was a short drive from downtown Seward. The property was secluded and quiet.

Miinukset: The room I stayed in was in the back building so it didn't have a direct view of Resurrection Bay.

Plussat: Loved the cute cabin..warm bedding and view of the bay.

Plussat: It was clean and the bed was comfy

Miinukset: The room was on the small side

Plussat: Staff on hand to provide a lovely but simple breakfast.

Plussat: Charming room. We liked the extra beds in the loft in the room and the view.

Miinukset: No elevator. no door on bathroom.

Plussat: Location is the best in Homer and the host was great! She even left us breakfast!

Miinukset: Roku wasn’t connecting very often, but who notices!

Plussat: The location was great as within a short walking distance to several restaurants and some shops. The price for Sewards is good and the mattresses were excellent. Very good water pressure and immediately hot as well. The FREE Seward town shuttle brings you to just a couple of hundred yards away from it. Free WIFI.

Miinukset: Nobody explained to us how this establishment works, its like a B&B. We thought we are walking into stranger's living room of some sorts, not having been made aware of the fact that this is the common area for all guests. Breakfast only starts at 7 am (without exceptions...). Also the coffee. This is included in the price. Since we asked for a twin room, we got a bedroom with an upstairs, BUT: the ladder to upstairs is flat pasted on the wall.... which neither one of us wanted to do at 56 and 70 yrs. old! So we shared the downstairs King Bed. I personally cannot see children climb these stairs either (in my opinion), as the foot hold is only approx. 2,5" wide and you have your face pasted on the wall so to speak

Plussat: We loved the central location and beautiful views out the window! The common space was nice to have a place to read at night, and great conversation with other travelers at breakfast.

Miinukset: It was great!

Plussat: Quaint little B&B! Room was clean and staff was excellent!

Plussat: Loved the home cooked breakfast and convenient location

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Too small for the price. Breakfast was great. Service was very good. It was awesome we got the use of the fan the 2nd night because it was extremely warm during our stay.

Plussat: The room was clean, the staff friendly, and the breakfast tasty. My daughter loved the loft and cried when we had to leave. The room seemed small at first but there were a lot of spots to stash luggage once you look around. Great location. Would stay again.

Plussat: It was quaint and inviting. The staff was friendly and they made us a delicious breakfast. It is walking distance to the local restaurants and tourist shops.

Plussat: I love the history around the building itself and of course Seward. It was a perfect location for my husband and I to play a few games of pool at the local pub and then walk back too.

Plussat: Since housing is so expensive in the summer in Seward and we had 2 large families, it was great not to have to rent 4-5 hotel rooms. We were able to use 2 rooms. Nice to have a kitchen, though we didn't cook anything. It is also in a great location for stores and restaurants.

Miinukset: One of the twin beds in 1 room leaned down on one side and the king bed in the other room needed new box springs...it was noise to get in and out of bed.

Plussat: Great little apartment with great view

Miinukset: not much to complain

Plussat: Sauerdough lodging is in an excellent location within Seward. The parking was easy, the apartment was well appointed, and supplied everything needed for a stay in Seward. There was helpful and well-organized information about Seward and the surrounding area supplied on the coffee table. I would highly recommend this lodging option.

Plussat: The location was excellent. Room was clean.

Miinukset: Our party was two couples - we thought that we had reserved a room with 2 double beds. Our room had one double bed, one single bed, and one futon. Not what we expected for the price. No contact with property manager.

Plussat: Authentic big spacious apartments

Plussat: Perfect room. Perfect breakfast.

Plussat: I thought the decor was super cute. Very retro. I love the location. The apartment was well appointed

Miinukset: The TV did not work. Couldn’t get it to go anywhere where I could watch anything. Then I couldn’t get it to shut off. That was a little creepy. Spent the night with a towel over the TV

Plussat: Great location. King size bed was very nice and comfortable.

Miinukset: Twin bed was literally located in a closet. The sofa beds were miserably uncomfortable. The shower was functional but slow to drain.

Plussat: Decoration and location

Plussat: Very comfortable and staff very kind

Miinukset: The bathroom was shared,but finally it was very clean and ok

Plussat: The location was wonderful. Although we came in the off season, it was a wonderful get away. The gentleman at the front desk was wonderful.

Miinukset: The only thing I can think of is that we weren't there when the kitchen was open. Other than that, everything was wonderful.

Plussat: Nice over all. Great location.

Miinukset: There are better places to eat in town. The older twin bed rooms with shared bathroom have no view

Plussat: Great location, good value, very clean, helpful and professional staff. Definitely recommend staying there. Would stay again if going to Seward.

Miinukset: Would have like a hair dryer available in the shared bathroom.

Plussat: Not much, actually.

Miinukset: Did not advertise there was no air conditioning in the building. Mattress was very old and uncomfortable. Management was mouthy. Room was by a noisey alleyway.

Plussat: Ilmapiiri. Aulan sisustus. Siisti. Hyvät sängyt.

Plussat: Great price for the location.

Plussat: It's a nice hotel and I had a clean, comfortable and well heated room. The shared bathroom was clean and provided with shampoo and shower gel. The bed was comfortable, the Wifi was working well. There's a sink in the room which is very convenient.

Miinukset: I would have appreciated to have a kettle in the room.

Plussat: Central downtown location so easy walking to the water and restaurants.

Miinukset: We were in the historic side meaning no renovations for decades. We paid extra for a private bathroom. Definitely not luxurious accommodations but served its purpose for a night.

Plussat: I love the eclectic charm and cozy atmosphere. I love feeling so immersed in the history of the town.

Miinukset: There was only one key for our room, so that was a little inconvenient

Plussat: Old world charm, very clean and an excellent staff! A big thumbs up!

Plussat: Clean, great spot in town

Miinukset: It was very nice place

Plussat: We had a mountain view room which was beautiful giving us a view of the town. Breakfast was included in our booking and was great with a huge variety of hot and cold foods. Hotel was clean and well maintained. There was plenty of street parking and the location is perfect for walking around resurrection bay and the town. I would stay here again.

Miinukset: It is on the expensive side but good value for Seward.

Plussat: The cleanliness and laundry facilities.

Plussat: Location Easy check in and check out. Great breakfast.

Miinukset: Parking not enough and have to drive around to find one.

Plussat: Close to the water to enjoy the sights and beauty of nature.

Miinukset: Slow elevator, laundry in basement did not feel safe, could use a newer van to transport guests.

Plussat: Clean, close to many restaurants and the SeaLife Center. Room was clean. Breakfast was good.

Miinukset: Ladies, if you need counter space, this is not the hotel for you!

Plussat: The front desk staff was very helpful. Breakfast was great.

Plussat: The only thing positive was the location....

Miinukset: Super expensive for the type of hotel, had been in several regular best western and were better than this “plus” bad internet, bad bed, bad air conditioning (super noisy) bad kitchen odor extractor (even in my room smelled like burned food) my remote control didn’t worked, in other words BAD value for money!

Plussat: This hotel has clean rooms and the staff was great.

Miinukset: The parking is curbside parking only.

Plussat: Location, friendly staff

Miinukset: It was adequate. Absolutely nothing special. Way overpriced. They can only get these prices due to the location. Old, outdated, etc. However, no mold issues or anything like some places, which is why this is at least adequate.

Plussat: Hotel staff were amazing. Hotel employee were so friendly and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was wonderful. I would absolutely stay here again because of the staff and location.

Miinukset: Some rooms did not have air conditioning but hotel employee  made sure we were comfortable.

Plussat: location

Plussat: Great location, friendly staff.

Plussat: Easy to find and in a good location.

Miinukset: The bed comfort could have been better. I needed a fan but did not find it until too late.

Plussat: Elevator.

Miinukset: Its a US$--- a night hotel that rips you off with a US$--- rate. Old and cheap. Loud noise due to close proximity to highway. Smelly and old carpet. Its like a Motel 8 hotel.

Plussat: Nice deck outside our room. Good view of Mount Marathon from the deck.

Miinukset: We prefer a bathroom with the wash hand basin included.

Plussat: Friendly staff, clean room, close to the action, but only a very limited view of the harbor.

Miinukset: Perhaps king bed

Plussat: Very friendly staff. Good place to stay in Seward

Plussat: Clean

Miinukset: Harbor view should be called church view Overall decent stay

Plussat: Location and the staff was wonderful

Miinukset: NA

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: This hotel is disgusting, completely miss represented on all their sites. Ask any local and they will tell you stay anywhere else in Seward but there.

Plussat: Location to the town.

Miinukset: The door lock was not secure. Terrible odor (not smoke) in room. Bedding was old and off color. Mattresses were uncomfortable (not supportive). Curtains were hung inappropriately on mixed hooks.

Plussat: The location was perfect for our needs.

Miinukset: The bathroom was very small. The bathtub was about 3 feet long with no vanity. There was no dresser, but a wall-mounted shelf for belongings. No closet, just a wall mounted coat rack. This is a very basic motel., though clean and quiet.

Plussat: Great location

Miinukset: Was a little too warm in the room

Plussat: The staff was so kind and helpful!!

Plussat: Sijainti oli aivan aseman vieressä ja cruise-terminaaliin oli lyhyt kävelymatka. Kaupungissa kulkee ilmainen shuttle, joka pysähtyy mm. asemalla. Kiva kaupunki, ruokapaikkoja löytyy keskustasta useita ja päiväristeilyjä löytyy satamasta.

Plussat: I really liked how quiet my stay was and the owner was nice. I also liked seeing the cat in the office, that was pretty cute.

Miinukset: I was prepared to not have a microwave in my standard room but, turns out there was one in there. Other than that, I didn’t have issues

Plussat: Convenience

Miinukset: Rooms could be a little more updated.

Plussat: Good location. Room was large, basic and clean. TV, fridge, microwave, coffee maker in good working condition. Free internet. Comfortable bed.

Plussat: The owner was friendly and helpful. The location was excellent..

Miinukset: Our room we so tiny it was impossible to move around when the luggage was open. The bathroom was beyond tiny. A tall person could not sit on the toilet without knees hitting the wall and tub was so tiny one could not take a bath. The ceiling was so low that I could at 5'11" place my palm flat on the ceiling. The room was straight out of the 1950's. Our friends ad a newer room which was spacious and modern.

Plussat: friendly stuff, Coffee and Tea for free, also big amazing blueberry muffins were for free some days, Clean and big room

Plussat: The location was great. Right on the free bus route. Not too far to walk to docks. Bed was comfortable but just a queen. The room had some updates and was clean. Young lady at desk was very nice, but we also had the problem of the office closing earlier than we thought. She had given us her phone number, so if needed she can be reached.

Miinukset: The motel is made up of 2 sections. One is the older motel court. The rooms are small, but refreshed and clean. There is a second section of upstairs/downstairs that looks like the rooms are bigger and a bit nicer. In the motel court there is no A/C but there is a heater unit that has a fan only and the front windows can be opened. We had to wait quite a time, while boat tours were booked for another party. Hotel gets a fee for taking care of bookings, so prepaid customers just have to wait.

Miinukset: Had allergies when coming into the room, so not sure if it was still dusty
