Great location by the marina, with amazing views from the patio on the back side of the room. Room was decorated nicely and you can tell care is given to maintain the facility. Staff were also very helpful in ensuring an easy check-in and access to the room and parking.

We had a two night stay at the Safari Lodge and loved every minute. It was quiet, within walking distance to restaurants and the cruise pier. The room was charming and spotlessly clean. The owner greeted us when we arrived and our name was on a chalkboard plaque on the door. We had an amazing view from our covered back porch, of the marina and the cruiseships in port. I will absolutely stay here again next time. It was perfect.

Great place!
This cute place was just what I needed for my stay prior to a cruise. The room was clean, bed was comfortable, and it had everything you would expect. It is located near everything (I walked everywhere, except to the cruise ship). The staff were super friendly and helpful. I would absolutely stay here again.

We liked being able to view the harbor of the patio door and having a deck to walk out on and see boats coming in and out. It was nice to walk down the boardwalk to see the charter trips bring in their catches. Even being next to the launch was quiet. We only wished it was not so rainy out, but we still had a good time.

Real convenient, great view of the harbor, plenty of interesting walk to restaurants. Dark room, strange layout, bed frames beware, legs are very near the edge of bed stubbed toe more than once.

The Crow's Nest (Executive Suite) is a spacious and very comfortable accommodation, probably the best in Seward. It is also, as my wife declared, seeing the view over the harbour marina from the back balcony, a setting straight out of a romantic novel.

We stayed in the apartment so this review is for that. Lovely location and an amazing view of the harbor. Right in the middle of everything, I enjoyed the views of the fishermen hanging up their catch at the end of the day, all from the balcony. One feedback is to do something about the natural light window in the bedroom that does not have a blind or curtain. When you lay down on the bed the mirror on front reflects the light of the window and it’s like a lit lamp all night in the Alaskan summer when it never gets dark. Otherwise all good.

The staff was very helpful here. We would have liked darker blinds on our slider and window, we draped blankets over them to darken the room. Also some lightbulbs were burned out in our room and we didn’t discover the fan until the 2nd night and the 1st night was quite stuffy. The deck is shared and someone tapped on our slider at night which was a bit creepy. The room decor was fun and the bed was comfortable. The view was incredible! Thank you for a great stay.
