It was only by chance someone was there to initially check me in. The room was FREEZING, in the 50s. No way to adjust heat. I was given access to 3 plug in space heaters, none of which would work! I didn't bring sufficient clothes to deal with that kind of cold so I went back to get a refund. Posted office hours are 9am to 9pm. No one was at the desk. I continuously rung the bell, banged on the wall, yelled, and called both numbers and no one answered. I had to call my bank and put a stop payment on my card to avoid being charged. I left the hotel at approximately noon, I didn't get a call back from them until 7:36pm. I didn't bother calling them back. I have NEVER had a hotel experience as egregiously bad as that. Worst customer service I have ever experienced at a hotel. NO stars would be more appropriate than 1.

There was no staff to check in with. The property looks like a construction zone, with holes in the wall and the heat did not work. The TV did not work either. Would not recommend.

The motel is ok for us for stay one night. It’s very close to the train station and the cruise port. The bathroom is very small, the floor is very dirty and all the room in general too. It’s look old and not well maintained. Don’t expect too much of that place. The only good thing is the location.

It was clean and affordable. It is an older motel but don’t let that discourage you. Clean rooms and the beds were okay. The staff however were great to offer assistance and resolve any problems. I would recommend this place. Close to the downtown if walking.

Basic motel that is close to train station and the tour boats. Could use an update, towel rack and other fixtures were broken. Bathroom is super small. Overall the motel served its purpose for the night. Conviennent to the upper part of Seward and easy walk to downtown

Basically, this is a place to sleep. The room photos on the website are very deceptive. We were put up in a room around the back of the motel which was very inconvenient and dirty. You couldn't walk on the floor barefoot without felling the grit, the microwave was covered in dust and past occupants' fingerprints, one of the bed covers had cigarette burns in it. It just felt like it got cleaned whenever someone got around to it. The bathroom was OK, and there was hot water. We have stayed in some rather sketchy places in our travels around the world but this one takes the cake! Fortunately, we spent most of our two days in Seward away from the motel. For the owners: If you are going to put your customers in the back of the motel at least make the place presentable and secure. Everything in the room looks like it came from a yard sale.

A perfect stay
The whole place was clean and did not smell bad. The front counter Person had dogs which gets 10 stars from me, but it was apparent she was bored… But she was really nice too, so it’s OK. Front counter was not open 24 hours which was fine because we didn’t need anything. The condition of the building was pretty good. There were some ceiling tiles missing, floor was uneven, And the carpet looked a little worse for wear (Both in the hallway). I love that the room came with a mini fridge and a microwave!!! Ten stars. It’s right near the port and on the highway so there was some noise if you left the window open, which we did, but I’m used to that kind of noise so it didn’t bother me at all. Plenty of parking, Smoking area, And right next to the parking lot where Kenai fjords tours picks you up. Ice machine, coffee maker with creamer pods, Tea, And hot chocolate, were free in the lobby.

nfortunately, the room conditions were not satisfactory. The rooms were dirty, and our room was located at the back of the building, requiring us to walk through the grass to access another door. Additionally, there was over a 2-inch gap between the wall and the door, which made us feel uncomfortable as we had to shove towels in the gap for privacy. This experience was absolutely ridiculous and not what we expected.
