The rooms were very large and have a small refrigerator and microwave. However, the hotel offers a continental breakfast which includes pre-made omelettes, biscuits and gravy, and pancakes. It's served on the backside of the lobby with double height ceilings, large glass windows and overlooks the harbor. It's a wonderful way to start the day. the staff at the front desk was average but the rest of the staff was extremely nice. Location is super convenient for Harbor Tour boats and exit glacier shuttles. The area is charming with some restaurants next door. But it's about a 1 mile walk to the other end of town. The free Seward shuttle runs about every 20 minutes or a 20 minute stroll down the road will you get there.

It was an average hotel but well overpriced. Paid $280 for the room, most expensive by far in a five weeks holiday, including stays at Hilton, Sheraton and Pan Pacific hotels. On the plus side the room had a harbour view. There is not a large choie of hotels in Seward.

We arrived on the Alaska Railroad and had our bags checked through right to the hotel for us where they held them until we checked in later in the afternoon. This freed us up to visit the Sealife Center and Exit Glacier without worrying about our luggage. Very easy walk from the train station just across the road. We had a harbor view balcony room that was very nice to sit on and soak up the views of the harbor and mountains. The seagulls were quite noisy early in the morning, but that was just part of the experience. The room was clean and well maintained. No problem with internet service during our stay. The lobby has comfortable seating, a fireplace, flat screen television, and desk with a computer for guests to use. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast choices were ok but rather limited for anyone staying away from carbs (only choice was small pre-made omelets). I would not hesitate to stay here again.

It was a little more $$$ than the average HI Express but normal for Seward. The rooms are very comfortable, clean and have great showers. All that plus the included breakfast make this a great choice for those who want to avoid motels or are not looking for anything fancy. The location is perfect too.
