The staff was not helpful, the bathrooms down the hall were fine and I have often stayed in places with this arrangement but the are not enough for all the rooms. There are no amenities at this hotel, no coffee maker in your room, no refrig, no nothing. They don't clean the rooms while you stay there. Would not recommend or return.

LEANNE

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I THOUGHT it looked quaint and cute on the site. But that was only if you were in the historic section. The section they put me in was dirty, old, VERY hot!! Couldn't open the window because I was on the first floor. Only 6 channels worked on the TV. I went to a local restaurant and was told all my complaints are quite common, I watched Cable at the Highliner restaurant with no issues. There was a lady living there it seemed with her dog that kept smoking right outside the door and it went through the whole hallway. YUCK! The restaurant still says it's open, but has been closed for 2 weeks. Classic Bait and Switch but unfortunately I was already paid in full.

Not great, will do in a pinch
Meh. Not worth the price. It’s pretty rundown and shabby. The room was dirty from previous occupants - bits of this and that scattered about, murky water in the ice bucket, errant pills and hair ties under the night stand, light bulbs burned out, among other small grievances that just add up to a unsatisfying stay. The door does not close on its own and there was a large gap between the bottom and floor that let in light and sound. One can hear a great deal of activity in the rooms next door and above. Judging by the other hotels in Seward this probably isn’t the worst but it does not live up to reasonable expectations of cleanliness. Upsides we’re that the mattress was comfortable and the water pressure and temperature were both reliable.

A Seward Mainstay!
A Seward mainstay! I’ve stayed several times and have some good memories over the years. While the rooms are a little dated, they’re clean and relatively comfortable, although the bed pillows are in short supply and could also use an update. Also, as with most hotels, it’s too easy to hear other guests in the hallways, etc. Fridge, microwave, and coffee maker in the room are much appreciated, as is the easy parking. You really can’t go too wrong with choosing Hotel Seward.

This hotel was so nice. The history on the inside was wonderful. Truly an Alaskan experience the minute you walked in the door. Yolanda was so friendly and shared some of the hotel history with us. We will recommend the Hotel Seward to all our friends and family who plan to visit Seward.

Super nice folks. Rooms are definitely dated and oddly setup. Bed was creaky and noisy but surprisingly comfortable. Odd that bedside lamps are four feet from side of bed. Room amenities are coffee, fridge and microwave which is nice. Convenient to restaurants and the wharf. Overall a good stay.

Beware. There are no elevators so you have all these stairs you have to drag all your luggage alt h ough they did help with that. Some of the rooms were only shared bathrooms so make sure you specify that you want a private bathroom.
