The staff are wonderful and fresh baked breads and eggs to order were a plus. Allowing guests to leave luggage in tv room and hanging out there for tea was a nice touch. Friendly people

Loved the delicious breakfast made for us each morning. Room and dining area were very clean. The only thing we didn’t like was that the rooms were very small, actually smaller than hotel rooms. Walkable distance to shopping areas. Overall was a nice stay.

Change of pace
Very nice change from the regular hotel room and priced well below that same room. The owners are very friendly and attentive to your request. It is not fancy and does not have all the bells and whistles, but I would stay here over any hotel. Breakfast was great, cooked fresh to your order, eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, etc. my 26 year old daughter loved sleeping in the loft, once again, not fancy but comfortable and a delight. When I go back, and if there is availability, I will book again.

We were not very impressed with the exterior of the property when we first arrived. But the room was very clean and cosy. Nice simple breakfast with a few additions made to order suited us perfectly. But the staff was excellent. Both Janice and Ashton really made us feel at home with their personal touch. Will definitely go there again.

Great option for being close to downtown and the water. Couldn’t be more handy to walk about Seward. The rooms we had were great for two adults and two kids. The kids loved the loft where there were two beds. The loft is not ideal for elderly people, but the main bed was great. Excellent breakfast was provided as part of the cost, and a great common room where you could hang out if you wanted. Great staff. Would highly recommend.

Nice stay
This is an old hotel. No elevator, entrance is on the side of the building. It rained during our stay, it was hard carrying all our luggages to our room. The room was tight, but my kids loved the loft! It would be very hard to climb it, if you have mobility issues. If you are claustrophobic, the loft is not for you! Our room has a window overlooking the bay! Theres no TV in the room, but surprisingly my kids didn’t miss it. There were so the things to do, sights to see in Seward to compensate for it and TV room is next to the reception area. Breakfast was sufficient, we loved Banana bread. Staff was helpful. Hotel is located a mile from the port, few blocks from the Aquarium , shops, and the Waterfront Park. Seward Library and Museum is just across the street. Check in and out was a breeze! I would stay here again if we’re back in Seward.

Charming, but just ok
The room was very tight and bath even tighter. Bed was comfy and shower great. Worse part was the entire room shook when people closed their doors. Breakfast was nice, made to order. Upstairs, rustic, but charming. Sort of hostel like. No ice for cold drinks

The Swan's Nest Inn was exactly as described - but even more charming in person! The lofts are so cute and such a great option for families. My husband and I loved the quaint gathering areas and enjoyed playing a game found in the "TV room" on a rainy evening. The hot breakfast was amazing and the staff, so friendly and kind! Our only regret is only staying one night... We wish we could've stayed longer! Would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a stay in Seward.

Unusual treasure
Nice Bed and Breakfast. We had a small room with a loft that my daughter slept in. The other visitors were friendly in the common spaces. Breakfast was very good. Sarah arranged a trip on Major Marine and we saw at least 5 whales, harbor seals, puffins and 2 glaciers. I was concerned about the steps, because of bad knees, but they were nicely spaced. We also did the Sea Life Center, visited the shops and restaurants.

Great customer service. After booking, the manager sent me a booklet about area activities and booked these activites for us. Sarah answered all my questions prior to my arrival. We were able to leave our luggage before and after our stay. The breakfast was good and made to order. Everyone was friendly and helpful. It was close and walkable to downtown area. Overall, a positive experience.

Unique and cozy place in a historic building. Have to be able to go up outdoor stairs. Stairs are wide with rails to the second floor. Breakfast was delicious. Homemade to order by our host, Ashton, included freshly baked items. The common room had a wood burning stove and beautiful view of the mountains and ocean.

Cute and affordable
Kids will love the loft beds. Rustic decor, good cooked-for-you breakfast, helpful advice. The local advice was the most helpful for us and we booked a boat trip through the property to save money. Nice location downtown amid the stores and restaurants.

Comfy, cozy, and compact!
From our check-in with Sarah, smiling and friendly, to our fabulous breakfast by Ashton, we loved our stay at Swan nest! We were fortunately able to check in early and loved our cozy room with fabulous view and access to a lovely, comfy, eating, sitting room, also, with gorgeous mountain views. If you don’t mind a few stairs, it’s a great place to stay! Thanks for making it even more fabulous, ladies!🌺
