The location is excellent—within walking distance of the waterfront, restaurants, and shops, which made it easy to explore Seward. We'd definitely stay here again on a future visit.

We took the Alaskan Railroad from Anchorage to Seward. The hotel provided a free shuttle from the train depot to the hotel and as an added surprise they handled all our luggage from the depot and delivered it straight to our room. When leaving for our cruise they delivered our luggage straight to the cruise line. In summary from the time we dropped off our luggage at the depot in anchorage to the time we stepped into our stateroom on the ship we didn’t have to handle our luggage at all. The staff at the hotel were also very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.
