8/10

The hotel was clean, comfortable, perfectly located, had excellent shower water pressure, and plenty of clean towels. And the staff was friendly, pleasant, and well informed. I would give an excellent rating except for breakfast. The first day we ate yogurt and fruit for free, and saw no signs about breakfast NOT being included. The second day we selected eggs and sausage, and were told AFTER we were seated with our food that we needed a breakfast voucher which was available at the front desk. The voucher cost $19.95!! Totally NOT worth that price! When I investigated further, I found a 2x4 inch text box in the center of a 4 foot sign that stated a Full breakfast was available for $19.95. Seemed a bit shady.

Hotel Edgewater was a great place to stay right across from Resurrection Bay. We had a room with a view of the bay. We were able to walk across the street one night to watch the Aurora over the bay and mountains. The manager and employees were super nice and helpful. I highly recommend Hotel Edgewater!!
