Gutes Hotel, historische Zimmer nicht zu empfehlen
Pros:

Nettes Hotel, 30 Minuten vom Hafen entfernt

Cons:

Bei der Buchung habe ich übersehen, dass es sich um ein historisches Zimmer mit Gemeinschaftsbad auf dem Flue (d.h Außentoilette) handelt. Die Zimmerausstattung war prähistorisch und daher der Preis nicht angemessen.

Pros:

The staff is outstanding. Sue at the front desk is not just friendly...she's extremely helpful!

Cons:

We booked a two day stay but had our flight from SC canceled. I asked for a refund for one day a few days prior to our visit and was refused.

Pros:

Central location, walking distance to bars/restaurants and docks. It's a beautiful property with a historic wing and a restaurant.

Cons:

When I checked in the room, I had no water at all. Then it started coming out all yellow with no pressure. It's extremely noisy and I could hear all my neighbors and people walking down the hall. Limited parking available. They lock the front door for the night, and my key didn't work to open it, so I was extremely lucky that a guest opened the door for me from the outside. Otherwise I'd be standing alone outside at midnight. I know that it is a historic property, but I didn't feel like it was worth the money I paid.

Wonderful!!! Highly Recommend!
Pros:

Hotel Seward is in a wonderful location. The beds are comfortable and the room we stayed in was very spacious with views of the bay. The hotel is well maintained and clean and the customer service is stellar. Everyone we encountered from Paulette who helped with our reservation and gave wonderful recommendations to Sandy who checked us in, to Sue (who might actually live here) went above and beyond making sure we had everything we needed including everything from extra pillows to recommendations for activities, places to eat, shuttles and so much more. The atmosphere was warm and hospitable and my husband, Mom and 2 boys would stay again in a heartbeat.

Pros:

Comfortable and modern hotel with rustic aesthetic. A bit further away from where the boat tours go but still very walkable (20 minutes) and near the free Seward shuttle if that’s too far for you. Next door to some of Seward’s best restaurants.

Cons:

Walls are quite thin and you can hear when neighbours are talking or have the shower on. But given Seward is so small and there isn’t much nightlife, noise is at very normal hours and doesn’t disturb sleep.

Great location and room!
Pros:

Location, room size and design

Cons:

The arrangement with the sink outside the bathroom area. It means that if two people get up at different times, the first disturbs the sleep of the other. Would prefer if the closet had a door.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Seward.
Pros:

What a treat for my wife's birthday! Paulette, Sue and Kendal were all such a delight... helping us find places to eat and visit around Seward in the off-season. My wife is a designer and she absolutely loved the updated king room ascetic. A great hotel to rest and relax... and our only regret is that we didn't stay more days.

Die Heizung war nicht regelbar, das Fenster kaputt und lies sich nicht öffnen. Trotz Winter viel zu warm...
