cozy spot with a full kitchen, I slept really well. Its a historic building so it has some character, for myself that is the preference over staying at a chain motel.

Apartment was okay. The Hotel.com site should have “no children” clause upfront or more clarification as to what ages may be acceptable. When I called to inquire about children, and if I could be accommodated I did not receive a reply. So I had to secure additional accommodations. The entrance door code did not work and we had to wait for someone to fix the problem-weak battery. The people were nice. Probably not stay again. Furniture dated but full kitchen was a plus. Didn’t stay but went in to check it out.
This is a beautifully well maintained property that offers you a look back into Alaskas rich history. Absolutely recommend!

Communication about which apartment was ours was a bit confusing but they quickly communicated even after their regular business hours. Very clean accommodation in a historic piece of Seward. Great location downtown; could walk everywhere!

We had a great stay in Seward. Our apartment was in the heart of downtown-walking distance to shops, restaurants, Sea Life Center & Waterfront Park. We had a private bathroom, futon, kitchen amenities. We had a studio apartment but it was fine for just the 2 of us.

Liked the property (we rented #8). It was clean, excellent location, and more spacious than expected. Kitchen was stocked with just enough for two. We often ate meals in the apartment. Would stay here again.

It was fun to stay in such a historical space. Nothing fancy but we had everything we needed. Theres lots of places to eat and drink and shop right out the front door. We loved walking along the water in the evenings after our adventures. Perfect for two and a third if they dont mind the pullout couch. I'd stay again.

It was a cool historical building and the studio room was clean, but the bed was way to soft and noisy.
