We stayed one night at Hotel Seward and had a great experience. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The location is excellent—within walking distance of the waterfront, restaurants, and shops, which made it easy to explore Seward. We'd definitely stay here again on a future visit.

We stayed in a twin room in the historical section. It was very clean and the 2 bathrooms on the floor were always available. We were out of the room all day on boat and kayak trips so the size didn’t bother us. I’d definitely stay here again.
