The location was nice downtown. The older part of the hotel is where I stayed, which was not nice. I guess they don’t believe in elevators on that part of the hotel so we stayed on the first floor back towards an alley. You could hear all the noise what’s going on in the alley. I have to say the customer service was OK. It was good. There was no connection for a phone, but they had a phone there, but it wasn’t connected onto the wall. The room could’ve been a lot cleaner and around the building was kind of a mess. You too, where we stayed and noisy.

We had a great stay at the Hotel Seward. The staff could not have been nicer or more helpful and the restaurant on site was absolutely delicious. It was in a perfect area of town and we were able to walk all over. Would absolutely stay here again.

Room service wasn’t the best since room not ready until well street checking in. They have breakfast voucher for delay and everything would have been ok. But rooms were still not that great and room service was also missing. But we were there only for 2 nights so not a big deal for us.
