2 adults with 2 teens. We had a loft for the boys that worked well. Good breakfast. No A/C. Eclectic older place. Worked out well. Bags do have to go up stairs. Walkable to the heart of Sewart.

The breakfast options were great. Friendly staff. Homemade breads fabulous. When they say the loft is small and meant for kids, believe them. But it worked out for my family even though my kids are grown. The sleeping loft created a family memory. =)

Solid Hard Working Management-3 Girls

Breakfasts are includsed and are super. There is a quiet time from 10-7 but not all guests understand what that means. Walkable to some very nice restaurants including Seward Hotel which I think is the best. Great view from the common breakfast room. No TVs in rooms but then again the town begs for you to get out and about. Room 2 is the best.

Our room was tiny, but very cute and eclectic. The only problem we had is we were there during a time when light ran laid into the evening and quite a bit of light came in around the shades. We ended up getting up in the middle of night and finding masking tape in a drawer and taping a blanket to the window so we could sleep.

There is a very nice breakfast and the room is nice. The one issue is that the loft, where the second bed is, has a very low ceiling (I knew about the ladder, but I didn't realize that you wouldn't be able to stand up. Great for kids, not so much for adults. Very friendly staff.

I really liked the staff and it felt very homey, but the room was very tiny with nowhere to sit. The common area was next to our room, which felt a bit awkward hearing people’s conversations through the door.

The hotel was a quaint and charming property located close to many attractions and nice restaurants in Seward. The place was very clean and well equipped. There is a shared kitchen which you can use to heat up or make simple meals. The beds are very comfortable. We had to check out very early before breakfast time, and the host was kind enough to pack breakfast for us before we left. Would recommend the place !

Loved our stay! I knew there was a ladder but (not the fault of owners) I didn’t realize how tired I would be going up and down after walking all day lol. Also in room 7 it gets so hot upstairs. Other than that it was a comfortable stay!

Worth the steps!

You do have to wrestle your suitcase up quite a few outside steps but there is plenty of room. It is worth the view from the dining area where a delightful breakfast was served. It is a cute, quaint place full of character. The hostesses was delightful. She was friendly and fun to visit.
