Very good

Unfortunately there was an emergency plumbing issue but they were nice enough to find me a replacement place to stay right next door. Which was clean and convenient
Would like to especially brag about the housekeeper, she was so helpful to us. Her kindness was appreciated and very helpful. I hope the owner sees this comment. Room was clean and location was great.

The room was very clean and accessible to shop's and restaurants.
This place was so adorable and cozy. The location was perfect, we were able to walk to restaurants (Highly recomend The Flamingo for dinner) and the Rowdy Radish downstairs was great for coffee and breakfast. The building is obviously old, but it added a neat charm. The owners were very good with communication and very helpful. (Shoutout to CS!) Wonderful place, highly recommend. Will definitely stay again someday!
We took a 12 day family trip and visited multiple towns in Alaska. The Sauerdough Lodging was one of our favorite guest houses because the location was amazing and the hosts made it the check-in and check-out process so easy. Our host communicated early and anticipated our arrival, unlike the other guest houses we visited. I juggled plane travel, train travel, shuttles, and lodging for my family, and I appreciated their proactive communication to ensure everything went smoothly. I’m very pleased with our experience, and I would definitely stay here again in the future!
It felt like home. Great location and amenities. The cafe downstairs is a great little treat.

This is a unique place. Probably not a good idea for people with mobility issues with the stairs and claw foot tub. The location is convenient to tourist areas and restaurants.

It was a turn of the century building that fit our needs quite well. There was no bedroom and the doors were quirky, but the claw foot tub and comfy bed and futon were welcome. The history of the place was palpable.

Our flat was well-appointed, comfortable and clean. It was right downtown and convenient to shops, restaurants, and everything else we needed. We were travelling with 7 people total and we fit just fine. The two futons in the living room did the trick for us for an overnight stay.

I loved it because it was old charming. If you want new and antiseptic it's not for you. Right in the heart of old downtown. Easy walk to restaurants, clubs and even a grocery store.
Liked the location
Disliked the bed (uncomfortable)
and thin walls (noise from other tenants)

This place is adorable! When you walk in, the decor takes you back to 1930. The code entry was flawless. I was needlessly concerned the codes wouldn't work, because that has happened to me before, at a different location.

We stayed in the Days End room. The room is adorable with a little kitchenette. It is perfect for one person. The building is old, so everything creaks. That makes it tough not to wake up your companion if you are going to be moving around the place while they are sleeping. Overall, it was a charming and clean place.

Large apartment style room. Full-size kitchen with cooking and serving ware. Clean and Comfortable. Away from the cruise liner and pier traffic. Right in the middle of downtown Seward. Parking is a bit of a hassle being downtown. Highly recommend.
