Excellent stay

On a return visit to Seward, AK I decided to stay at the Hotel Seward, as this is where I had stayed on my first trip to Seward in 1980. At that time, it was called the New Seward Hotel. I stayed in the historic section of the hotel and was very pleased to find that it had retained its quaint appearance and style. The hallway was filled with historic photos of old Seward and my room made me feel that I had stepped back into the early 1900s. The entire place was very well kept and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Sarah at the front desk. I lived in Seward from 1993 to 2012 and I will surely be staying at the Hotel Seward on my next trip back.

10/10 Exceptional

great convenient place to stay in Seward

I liked the charm of the hotel and the staff were great and it was very clean and the price was reasonable and the location was terrific with easy walking distance of the stores, restaurants, water front, and sealife center, The check in was rocky because the room wasn't ready for an hour and 45 min-3:45-5:30. It worked out ok because I was able to leave my bags and walk around to get oriented. The only other discomfort was that I was too warm in the room, especially for sleeping. I could not control the heat or open a window and I had disruptive sleep because I kept waking up sweating, Overall I would recommend the hotel though.

Fine for a quick business trip.

Was there on business. The wifi is fine. The restaurant was not open. But the parking was fine.
