never more, stay away, it's very dirty and cold. I asked for a refund for the second night, but they did not, I just gave them $ 200, and found another place to sleep.

Not recommended
Free Wi-Fi. Middle of downtown
It’s a very old building that may collapse (doesn’t look maintained), room with 2 beds are tiny, bathroom has no toilet roll holder, no shampoo provided.

Never staying at this hotel again!
Location was good. For a historic landmark this hotel was filthy; carpets not vacuumed, trash spilling over in breakfast room from the day before. Room dirty, mold on wall, wallpaper peeling, no heat in room.
Hotel was dirty, could have been clean and not so dingy. The place was falling apart. For a historical landmark, no pride was shown in the care of the building or rooms. It didn’t have to be the ritz, but take of the hotel and rooms!

Bad
Nothing. This property was terrible and should not be on the market.
Everything was bad. The room was supposed to have a bathroom and turned out to be a shared bath. Toilet out of order and had to go to another floor to use shared bath. We wanted our money back and they said we have to deal with bookings.Com. This forced us to stay one night under terrible conditions Worst hotel I have ever stayed at. I can’t say enough how bad of a place it is.

If this had been $50 a night I could have tolerated the state it was in, however it is not cheap and is shockingly bad f
location of the property is brilliant, however the hotel is quite frankly, shocking.
the first room I spent the first night in hadn’t been cleaned, there was dirt on the carpet from the flaking paint, dust everywhere (triggering my asthma) as well as mould on the wall. It was a health hazard. I didn’t feel comfortable in the room and the bed made me itchy. I requested to switch rooms which they did the next day.

Older heritage perty right in the downtown area -- adjust expectations and you won't be disappointed
The hotel is in an excellent location in downtown Seward. It doesn't have any special amenities, but the rooms are decent and staff friendly. Prices in Seward are expensive, but that's to be expected in a tiny town that is a port city for large cruise ships. The hotel is a heritage property, so don't expect it to look like a brand new Hyatt.
I wish the hotel offered some sort of breakfast. Even water would have been nice. However, the location in the heart of the downtown area gives one a multitude of dining and shopping options.

Worth price but needs work.
Staff was super friendly at check in, allowed us to check in early. Location was perfect for walking distance to the sealife center, nearby restaurants & park.
Our sink in our room had a large crack which was not told to me until after we checked in, the toilet seat was dirty, the toilet paper on the roll was wet, the carpets in the room had not been vacuumed, the room smelled as if too much cleaning products or spray had been used, the heat was almost nonexistent & my kids, husband & myself were all really cold throughout the night. No way to regulate the heat in the room since it is an old hotel.
