Mixed, But I’d Come Back

I stayed here because it is just steps from the train depot. Check in was very friendly. Bed is Good. Room needs maintenance. Ni housekeeping during my four nights here. (That’s fine with me.) Best soup and hot dogs in town right across the street.

Friendly & Clean

We stayed a few night to explore the Kenai Peninsula before embarking on our cruise. The front desk staff was VERY friendly and helpful. The property is dated but was clean and meet our needs. Coffee, tea, and hot cocoa were available in the lobby as well as a microwave. The rooms have small refrigerators with freezers. We would definitely stay again!

Tough to assess. The property was close to where we needed to be. The folks working there were super nice and efficient. Room was a bit worn, but probably par for the course in Seward. Quick checkin and checkout. But this hotel was full of freakin' right-wing, Trump-lovin' white trash that felt obligated to party oitside their rooms until midnight. Not sure if i was in Alaska or Arkansas. But I cant hold the hotel responsible for their low IQ clientele.

Loved the convenience to the train station and the free shuttle service around town. The front desk staff, Shakita (hopefully that’s correct), was amazing! So accommodating. We would definitely stay there again.

Comfortable room, friendly service

The Manager came from across tonw in teh middle of the night to address an issue that was not of her doing, and was friendly and gracious in doing so. Comfortable, affordable, no-frills lodging.

It was clean and affordable. It is an older motel but don’t let that discourage you. Clean rooms and the beds were okay. The staff however were great to offer assistance and resolve any problems. I would recommend this place. Close to the downtown if walking.

Nice room will all the necessities. Within walking distance to the marina and waterfront. However, my room smelled like a bar. Extremely pungent fumes similar to a dive bar. Thankfully I was able to open a window and let it air out for the afternoon.

This is an older budget hotel. There were limited options available in town when I booked. My friend was put in a room that appeared to be for staff on the back of the building. It was a lower quality than my room and one of the beds was on blocks. It. That room was not very clean.

Air conditioning was a major issue. Room was hot where as we wanted it to cooler. Cooling was not possible because every room in this motel was centrally managed. Hence additional table fan was provided for cooling. But it was not good enough.

We reserved for two nights and prepaid one night. Had we not prepaid we would have left As it was we didn’t stay the second night. The manager was accommodating and understood. It was a dead giveaway when we got a list of potential damage charges. There were holes in the walls, stains on chairs and general wear and tear. Wouldn’t go back or recommend. Better than sleeping in a tent but not much.

First, the room had an a lot of cleaning smells like you were trying to cover up some other kind of smells. Second, the bathroom toilet was so close to the wall that your knees hit the wall when sitting down. My husband who is 6'4 could not set on the toilet comfortably or safely stand. My husband is trim too. Third, blood stains on the sheets. We checked out after one night. We had reservations for 3 nights.

nfortunately, the room conditions were not satisfactory. The rooms were dirty, and our room was located at the back of the building, requiring us to walk through the grass to access another door. Additionally, there was over a 2-inch gap between the wall and the door, which made us feel uncomfortable as we had to shove towels in the gap for privacy. This experience was absolutely ridiculous and not what we expected.

Never again

Update, update, update. Most everything was outdated. Bathroom door wouldn’t latch, the toilet wasn’t clean at the base. For over $200.00 per night, I expected more. Put some money back into the place.

Manager Crystal was very helpful when things went awry, and cheerfully stored our luggage. Tv didn’t work much. Bed lights had fuse problem. These matters were solved generally with staff intervention. No breakfast but Coffee. Room pretty cute. Too expensive for what we got, but lots of travelers in Seward.
