Really surprised by the guest rating on this because we had an excellent stay. Prime location in Seward walkable to many shops and restaurants. The hotel and rooms were modern and clean. We stayed in a “windowless” room which I thought would make me feel claustrophobic, but there was a window, it just went to the hallway. It felt like a normal room without a view. We could easily step outside our room and have access to a window that overlooked the gorgeous bay. Coming in with those expectations, I was pleasantly surprised and would definitely stay here again.

Seward is amazingly beautiful. We found the Edgewater to be quaint, clean and comfortable for our needs. The bathroom is small, but didn’t bother us at all. The room had plenty of space and a good view of the bay. There are some fun restaurants right within walking distance.

Nickel and dime specialist. 18.95 for a continental breakfast. No coffee in the lobby. TV in Lobby is on ESPN with no volume or remote to change channel. I asked for remote and they said they don’t have one might as well hang a picture of something there instead. As we were checking out other guests complaining of add ons on there bill. Just be upfront on charges everyone is on vacation here and hate being nickel and dimed. Then at 8am housecleaning is knocking on my door asking me when am I checking out. Poor hotel choice find another place.

A Nice Place to Stay While Fishing in Seward.
Check in process was seamless and they gave me a nice waterfront room. Also front desk directed me to a great steak house that served steak and seafood. Will definitely go back when I am in Seward. Thank you

The property was right in the middle of downtown Seward and very close to the marine life conservation center easily within walking distance. The hotel was clean although I think they misused the space. They have a lot it for the bathroom. It was OK. My biggest gripe which I already knew before booking was that there are no windows to look out of, but I knew that going in why is there no windows in a hotel? Just wondering …. I would definitely recommend this location and would stay there again.

Just don’t. I’ve never written a bad review but I feel like I have to warn others. We had an interior room (no window). It was very loud and we could hear everything from the atrium lobby, rooms on the side and below us. That’s okay though because as soon as we turned on the air conditioner we couldn’t hear anything over the loud screechy noise it made. We had to turn that off because nobody was going to sleep with that awful sound. The room had a ceiling fan which wasn’t well fastened to the ceiling (my grandson was terrified that it was going to fall) that wasn’t balanced so it had a clicking noise but that was also okay because it wouldn’t stay on. About every 5 minutes the fan shut off and the light would come on….with no one touching anything. It was super stuffy in the room so nobody got a good night sleep. My grandson thought the bed was so uncomfortable that he opted to sleep on the floor. To top it off, at about 1AM we decided to just watch a movie since no one was sleeping and the TV didn’t work. The front desk guy said that they have been having challenges with the cable since early June and about half the tv’s in the hotel don’t work. No way would I recommend this place. The front desk guys were nice but there’s nothing they could do to make this okay.

Property had a room access problem due to microsoft upgrade. Additionally, most hotels have a free breakfast. This one cost 18.00 fir very little. I considered this poor public relations and limited in quality. They would di better not to have it at all.

Let me start by saying most properties in Seward look older but some look updated in certain areas. This hotel was fine but the only updated area was the lobby. The rooms are older, bedding is mid and the beds themselves aren’t super comfortable. Parking is also an issue. No one warned us that parking in front of the hotel is limited to 2 hours at a time, unless it’s after a certain time and then you’re good until 8am the next day. They do have a lot at their “sister property” across the street which we didn’t know about until the second day. Breakfast is some sort of a buffet that is about $19 which we didn’t do but there was no free coffee or any complementary offerings. The rooms do have a small coffee maker which we opted not to use. Overall the place was clean and just okay. I think I’d choose another hotel if we decided to stay in Seward again.
