Solid Hard Working Management-3 Girls

Breakfasts are includsed and are super. There is a quiet time from 10-7 but not all guests understand what that means. Walkable to some very nice restaurants including Seward Hotel which I think is the best. Great view from the common breakfast room. No TVs in rooms but then again the town begs for you to get out and about. Room 2 is the best.

Our room was tiny, but very cute and eclectic. The only problem we had is we were there during a time when light ran laid into the evening and quite a bit of light came in around the shades. We ended up getting up in the middle of night and finding masking tape in a drawer and taping a blanket to the window so we could sleep.

This is a great place to stay in Seward. Walkable to the downtown attractions and shops, with great views of Resurrection Bay. The breakfast is very good and everyone was pleasant to deal with.

There is a very nice breakfast and the room is nice. The one issue is that the loft, where the second bed is, has a very low ceiling (I knew about the ladder, but I didn't realize that you wouldn't be able to stand up. Great for kids, not so much for adults. Very friendly staff.

I really liked the staff and it felt very homey, but the room was very tiny with nowhere to sit. The common area was next to our room, which felt a bit awkward hearing people’s conversations through the door.

The hotel was a quaint and charming property located close to many attractions and nice restaurants in Seward. The place was very clean and well equipped. There is a shared kitchen which you can use to heat up or make simple meals. The beds are very comfortable. We had to check out very early before breakfast time, and the host was kind enough to pack breakfast for us before we left. Would recommend the place !

Loved our stay! I knew there was a ladder but (not the fault of owners) I didn’t realize how tired I would be going up and down after walking all day lol. Also in room 7 it gets so hot upstairs. Other than that it was a comfortable stay!

Worth the steps!

You do have to wrestle your suitcase up quite a few outside steps but there is plenty of room. It is worth the view from the dining area where a delightful breakfast was served. It is a cute, quaint place full of character. The hostesses was delightful. She was friendly and fun to visit.

Wonderful little Inn. We were able to drop bags and check in early with a simple phone call. Room and other areas were just as pictured, cozy, comfortable and squeaky clean. By AK timeline, this is in an older building, and the room is directly adjacent to the dining area. But guests were respectful of quiet hours and the bedding was very comfortable. We could see the harvest moon, northern lights, and spectacular sunrise over the bay right from our window. Then there was the tasty fresh, hot breakfast. Great location, a perfect stay in Seward
