The place was clean and easy to find. My main feedback is to update the Wi-Fi password in the check-in email, since the one provided was outdated and we had to call management to get the correct one. It would also be helpful to mention that there’s a guest book available at check-in. Otherwise, management was flexible and accommodating, even allowing us a slightly later checkout. Would recommend!

Historic Seward Lodging
This historic property met our needs well for our visit to Seward. We were disappointed that we were in the rear of the building and didn't have any decent views. Just a peak-a-boo view of the mountain from the living room. The age of the property meant a few things were quirky and the sloping bedroom floor caught us off-guard a few times. The kitchen was well stocked for our morning tea & coffee and we appreciated the fridge/freezer. The heat was good on those rainy days. I enjoyed the rocking chair in the LR for my morning quiet time. There was plenty of storage everywhere. We could hear other guests in the hallway but that wasn't a problem. We enjoyed our stay here and tried to imagine the building when it was young.

Historic Feel
A bit of time travel staying in this historic building, with the charm (some antique furniture) and also a few inconveniences (steam heat; no dishwasher) of an older property. Perfect location for enjoying all of Seward.

Not as advertised.
Checkin was easy, however the unit walls were dirty, couch was old and dirty. Bathroom sink didn’t drain, shower had mold on the door. There was a sewer gas or septic smell, that was hrs to look past. Pillows in bed were very very thin. We have stayed in other properties of this age and had no problems. We checked out immediately and notified property manager. We had to scramble to find a room which was a huge challenge on a holiday weekend during the end of vacation season. We had to move 4 times during our stay in Seward just to be able to have a room. The property owners should perhaps inspect their property and show it some love. The property manager was nice and apologetic but it took some time to get a refund which was only partial.

Excellent Location!!!
My two sisters and I stayed here for the final leg of our Alaska sister trip. It was perfect for us!
It’s walking distance to most everything in Seward. We had a car, so the easy parking accommodations were a bonus.
The building itself is old and very charming. We were in unit #3. I read in previous reviews that there was no curtain in that room. The host has taken care of that. I slept on the sleeper sofa in that room and had no problem sleeping during my late July visit.
The unit is a walk up, so beware if you have lots of luggage to carry. It's not fancy but it has all of the amenities you could possibly need - coffee maker, pots, pans, microwave, silverware, oven, stove, etc.
We highly recommend!!!

Charming place in a great location
Charming place in a great location with everything we needed. Note there are no curtains in the room with the fold out couch, but were were able to hang a comforter over the curtain rod to darken the room during our late June visit.
