We have an amazing stay. We have a beautiful ocean view room facing the beautiful Resurrection Bay. The bed was so comfortable we don’t want to get up in the morning. The front desk staff was so helpful and accommodating.

Charming hotel experience
Seward is a charming town. We were there for a cruise and needed only one night. Hotel was nice. Nice location with some small shops and restaurants nearby. Lovely walking trail along the water.

The room was small and located right in the lobby. Every time we left the room, we were in the middle of people checking in or out. The breakfast, which you had to pay for, was subpar. The view from the room was terrible, and the room itself was old.
