Pros:

Morgenmaden på hotellet var den dårligste nogensinde.
Det passede ikke til et godt hotel.

Cooky cutter room.
Pros:

Fox news on TV

Cons:

I booked a room as advertised "historic queen room with private bathroom" and received a room that was smaller than a motel 6 with queen bed, yet it was modern. I enjoy history so I was not satisfied when it was not historic architect.

The staff is terrible. They flat out lied about check in.
Pros:

Nice property

Cons:

Rooms nice, but we asked for and was approved for an early check-in with a confirmation email. Slowed it to the girl at check-in and she told us NO. Our room was not ready. At 1:00, not ready, at3:00 not ready, exactly 4:00 it was ready. Come to find out our room was bottom floor folkiest room they clean in the am . I asked the cleaning person, he said he cleaned it first, she just lied!! If u want ppl to treat u right stay somewhere else , we will

Great location, occasional wait for shared bathrooms
Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Great Charming Hotel right in downtown Seward
Pros:

A lovely historic hotel with charm and great service
Paulette took such wonderful care of us all 6 days
Our king room had a bay window looking out over Resurrection Bay
The room was well appointed with the refrigerator and microwave I requested
All of the employees were super helpful and sweet
Paulette even gave me some shopping tips and I bought a pair of fabulous boots to copy hers!
The location is wonderful
A block over is the Main Street filled with charming boutiques art galleries and restaurants!
We visited with her morning and evening
In between we were busy visiting our first Grandchild!
Hiking to the Edge Glacier
The SeaLife Center and the amazing food at The Cookery!

Thank you Paulette for making our visit so memorable
