The room was cute and clean (as pictured). The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is optimal for visiting the Sealife Center, shopping, and dining options. It is a short walk to the waterfront. It is not located near the Seward boat harbor, but during peak season there is a trolley that stops near the hotel.

Paulette who manages this hotel goes out of her way to provide the best customer service! She gave us great advice and even lent us bear spray to stay safe while hiking. All staff was great too. Hotel is in a good location and just a block away from a bunch of restaurants, the Sea Life Center, and the waterfront.
