This is an extremely tiny room where there was no room to walk around by the bed. The expedia listing does not clearly mention that the kitchen, the dining area everything is shared with other residents. The room has no heating source. Our toilet was clogged when we arrived. This place is more like a hostel and not appropriare for family. The breakfast is made to order and the staff was nice, however the quality and option for breakfast is limited. I wonder how this property received all the 10 star reviews. I was heavily mislead by the reviews. Over $275 per night, this was absolutely not worth it. The building and facility is very very old and smelly at places. Only saving grace is the location in the heart of Seward.

A great family stay

This was one of our favorite stays on our family trip to Alaska. The location was great, it was set up perfectly for meeting other travelers. It was super close to almost everything in the downtown area. The loft areas offered in some rooms are great for kids. The breakfast every morning was delicious

The room is small but can accommodate a family of four or five. Room is clean and has many hooks and shelves and storage areas. Big common dining area has great views, big kitchen for cooking if you want to. Owner Sarah let me waiting for my family in the common area after checking out, which I really appreciate. Also, the made on demand breakfast is great too.

The breakfast options were great. Friendly staff. Homemade breads fabulous. When they say the loft is small and meant for kids, believe them. But it worked out for my family even though my kids are grown. The sleeping loft created a family memory. =)

Solid Hard Working Management-3 Girls

Breakfasts are includsed and are super. There is a quiet time from 10-7 but not all guests understand what that means. Walkable to some very nice restaurants including Seward Hotel which I think is the best. Great view from the common breakfast room. No TVs in rooms but then again the town begs for you to get out and about. Room 2 is the best.

Our room was tiny, but very cute and eclectic. The only problem we had is we were there during a time when light ran laid into the evening and quite a bit of light came in around the shades. We ended up getting up in the middle of night and finding masking tape in a drawer and taping a blanket to the window so we could sleep.
