The motel is ok for us for stay one night. It’s very close to the train station and the cruise port. The bathroom is very small, the floor is very dirty and all the room in general too. It’s look old and not well maintained. Don’t expect too much of that place. The only good thing is the location.

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.

Basic motel that is close to train station and the tour boats. Could use an update, towel rack and other fixtures were broken. Bathroom is super small. Overall the motel served its purpose for the night. Conviennent to the upper part of Seward and easy walk to downtown

Basically, this is a place to sleep. The room photos on the website are very deceptive. We were put up in a room around the back of the motel which was very inconvenient and dirty. You couldn't walk on the floor barefoot without felling the grit, the microwave was covered in dust and past occupants' fingerprints, one of the bed covers had cigarette burns in it. It just felt like it got cleaned whenever someone got around to it. The bathroom was OK, and there was hot water. We have stayed in some rather sketchy places in our travels around the world but this one takes the cake! Fortunately, we spent most of our two days in Seward away from the motel. For the owners: If you are going to put your customers in the back of the motel at least make the place presentable and secure. Everything in the room looks like it came from a yard sale.

A perfect stay

The whole place was clean and did not smell bad. The front counter Person had dogs which gets 10 stars from me, but it was apparent she was bored… But she was really nice too, so it’s OK. Front counter was not open 24 hours which was fine because we didn’t need anything. The condition of the building was pretty good. There were some ceiling tiles missing, floor was uneven, And the carpet looked a little worse for wear (Both in the hallway). I love that the room came with a mini fridge and a microwave!!! Ten stars. It’s right near the port and on the highway so there was some noise if you left the window open, which we did, but I’m used to that kind of noise so it didn’t bother me at all. Plenty of parking, Smoking area, And right next to the parking lot where Kenai fjords tours picks you up. Ice machine, coffee maker with creamer pods, Tea, And hot chocolate, were free in the lobby.

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.

What a Dump!

What a dump! Booked through hotels.com for 2 rooms and the rooms were in separate buildings. Place was very old and dirty. 1 room you had to walk past the dumpster to get to and not safe at all.

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.

Very expensive and old property

$250 a room for 2 rooms , so $500 spent to just sleep and have coffee 24 hours a day and NO breakfast was outrageously expensive. The hotel is old, toilet seat was scuffed, no clock, no charging stations around the lamps, check in clerk was not friendly or inviting.

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.
