We really enjoyed the Hotel Seward. A historic property that has been nicely renovated. The location was wonderful, within a short walk to the waterfront, restaurants, shops, and the Alaska Sealife Center. The hotel was VERY clear about this on their website. Some of the older parts of the hotel use a SHARED bathroom. They tell you which rooms do and do not have this. However, there were people coming in and acting like it was a big surprise and trying to get a room with a private bath. CHECK before you go if this is important to you. Also, they do not have a complimentary breakfast. Make note of that. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They provide a shuttle service to spots around Seward. This was important and helpful to us as we arrived by train and departed on the cruise ship. They accommodated all those needs. We would recommend the Hotel Seward.

Room #2 in the historic part of the hotel is good except for the window that gives on a very close wall, making it dark and impossible to see the sky.
