This is a very old hotel but has a lot of character that gives it more authenticity. Location is great to the downtown part of Seward near the Sealife center and that area. Staff was accommodating and overall we enjoyed our stay. Definitely a little more authentic character than most hotels.
This is an older hotel with a truly historic section that has rooms without individual bathrooms in the room. We stayed in the newer section but this is still a relatively standard hotel room set up. Building has no AC which is surprising and little uncomfortable as warmer than normal during our visit but typically not a problem with Seward weather. Room was fairly dated and some things worn but nothing major although windows weren't very manageable which would have been helpful given the weather. I would say the staff gave us a great little fan that helped on the warmest day and the sister hotel, Edgewater, across the street seemed a little more modern.

It was a small room backed up on an ally. We did feel a little unsafe in this room being as we were both females. Everything worked out.
I called and spoke with Claire about seeing if she could get us a room for three days so we wouldn't have to move. This call was around a month or so before our arrival. The website would not let me book one room so we ended up in three different rooms having to move everyday. I learned my lesson.

Great location near restaurants and waterfront park, very walkable. Staff was kind and helpful in getting acclimated to the property and onto the WiFi. Having a sink in the room was very useful.
We were in the older part of the hotel that only has 2 bathrooms per floor, so had to wait on other people in some of the evenings/mornings.

I discovered that a restaurant highly recommended by a friend was located on the same street just two properties down from the hotel. How convenient! We could wait in our room or the lobby until our table was ready. I also enjoyed the hotel restaurant - good food, bar, and great service. Front desk staff were extremely helpful.

They got me plenty of shampoos and cream rinses.
I just about had an ashma attack trying to get to the desk. I am 76 years old. The girls at the desk saw me but didn't offer help until I got to the desk without my suitcase. Then they told me they saw I was in trouble. They secured my cosmetic bags there. At that point a family member came in and rescued me. Looking for an ear ring I found a shower clog and hair clip under the bed, and tons of dust.

Beautiful king bed suite! Gorgeous view! Very safe area. Close walk to many restaurants and shops. Apollo Greek Restaurant and Resurrection Coffee House are Amazing!
No coffee bar in the lobby and the restaurant was closed during our stay. The room did have a small coffee maker. We drove to the coffee house.

We were in the historic wing. Our room had a TV, mini fridge, small coffee maker, and its own sink. The hotel itself was nicely decorated and the historic wing had framed historical pictures and articles. The shared bathroom was clean and well-stocked. We were well within walking distance of the waterfront.
We were there on a few particularly warm days and couldn’t figure out whether we had air conditioning.

Location was perfect for seeing the town. Great restaurants and coffee shops near by, and restaurant in hotel has excellent dinners and service. Transportation from ship or train is provided. They hold your luggage for the day of arrival and exit.
A little older but they fully kept the charm of the time

It was a well preserved older hotel. Nicely furnished room with an old-time feel. Lots of historic photos around the property. The location was near Seward beaches. Shuttle was provided from the bus stop or train station, and also to the cruise terminal. Historic area is one block away.
