Hotel Seward

8/10 Good
"The hotel was nice, but old and the room was very clean and spacious but we were very surprised that there was no air conditioning in the building. We live in the south and air conditioning is a requirement lol. They were very accommodating When we asked for a fan to circulate the air in the room and we stayed very comfortable. Very good location, close to everything we wanted to see And do."
