Very nice hotel. The staff was so nice . Good location. The negative was how noisy the rooms could be due to the guests slamming doors. It is an old hotel.

Excellent stay

On a return visit to Seward, AK I decided to stay at the Hotel Seward, as this is where I had stayed on my first trip to Seward in 1980. At that time, it was called the New Seward Hotel. I stayed in the historic section of the hotel and was very pleased to find that it had retained its quaint appearance and style. The hallway was filled with historic photos of old Seward and my room made me feel that I had stepped back into the early 1900s. The entire place was very well kept and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Sarah at the front desk. I lived in Seward from 1993 to 2012 and I will surely be staying at the Hotel Seward on my next trip back.

great convenient place to stay in Seward

I liked the charm of the hotel and the staff were great and it was very clean and the price was reasonable and the location was terrific with easy walking distance of the stores, restaurants, water front, and sealife center, The check in was rocky because the room wasn't ready for an hour and 45 min-3:45-5:30. It worked out ok because I was able to leave my bags and walk around to get oriented. The only other discomfort was that I was too warm in the room, especially for sleeping. I could not control the heat or open a window and I had disruptive sleep because I kept waking up sweating, Overall I would recommend the hotel though.

The hotel was quaint and cozy. Good bed, everything was clean. We had a room with a shared bathroom in the hallway - the bathroom was also very clean. The walls are a bit thin (we were in the old part of the hotel) but it was mostly quiet during the night. Very friendly, helpful staff.
