The room was small and located right in the lobby. Every time we left the room, we were in the middle of people checking in or out. The breakfast, which you had to pay for, was subpar. The view from the room was terrible, and the room itself was old.

The Hotel Edgewater was a very nice hotel that was a perfect location for our 2 night stay in Seward. We had a nice corner room with ocean view. The room was small but convenient and close to everything. Staff was very friendly and courteous.

The hotel is nice and the location is outstanding. It is easy to walk to the Alaska Sealife Center and to all of the downtown shops and restaurants, plus the shuttle picks up in front of the Sealife Center if you want to go anywhere else. The parking was free but there is no lot at the hotel - street parking near the hotel is available plus two small lots down the block. Parking was not an issue during my stay.
