Hotel Edgewater was a great place to stay right across from Resurrection Bay. We had a room with a view of the bay. We were able to walk across the street one night to watch the Aurora over the bay and mountains. The manager and employees were super nice and helpful. I highly recommend Hotel Edgewater!!

Where do I begin? The heating in the rooms was minimal, amenities in the room were sparse. It looked like the staff had taken a nap on my bed prior to my checking in, witnessed by the dent in the very questionably clean “bedspread”. there was only one thin blanket on the bed. The breakfast was sparse and when I asked the staff if there was anywhere else to eat in town for breakfast they said “no”. I soon found out they were not telling the truth. Then there was the noise from other guests until the wee hours of the night. All in all, really great! Not!

The property lobby was nice but rooms were very dated. It was cold at night and there was a very thin beadspread - almost like a table cloth. Price reflects the location of hotel to downtown and other easy to get to areas of the area and not on the actual hotel.

Room is huge. Comfortable and lots of ways to stay warm or cool. Over the last five nights this is by far the best place has a fridge microwave hairdryer walk-in shower with a seat a ceiling fan thermostat Shiba air fan was goes on TV wasn't working right but great lounge to watch football with other guest. Was surprised that breakfast was $19 a person and the choices were eggs sausage Waffle bagel Grit and cereal. Which was fine but sort of a surprise when $46 was added to our room expense for breakfast

Stayed 2 nights at end of Aug/beginning of Sept 2024 (Labor Day weekend). Hotel is in great location and is nicer than I expected, with a pleasant lobby & balconies from 2nd & 3rd floors looking over the lobby. Be sure to ask for a room above the ground level. We were given a room right next to the lobby. We could hear all the comings & goings at the entrance. Our room was also very hot despite the heat being off. There was an air conditioner but it was coated in dust so we didn’t want to turn it on. We didn’t want to open the window because our room was right next to the sidewalk, with people passing by (not noisy but too close). The staff said they’d pass on the temperature & AC issues but didn’t offer any solution while we were there (such as vacuuming the AC?!). The hotel is in a very scenic & convenient spot at the far end of town near the Sealife Center, with easy walk to restaurants, shops, etc. There’s a buffet breakfast but it’s $18 and we preferred the nearby cafes. The hotel offers a pick-up service from the train station, which was very helpful. I recommend this place but try to avoid a room on the ground floor.
