Vintage and clean, but tiny.
Hotel is a vintage building. Room was small but very clean. Bathroom was vintage but water pressure and temp were fine. It took awhile to get into the building and reach our room because we couldn’t get someone to answer the phone and give us the entry code to the building and our room. Picture on website was not an accurate representation of our room. Would not recommend if you have difficulty climbing steps.

My only concern was the communication given didn’t specify a check in time. Expedia said check in was 3. We got there at 3 and the room wasn’t quite ready. Inside it said check in was 4. We didn’t know.

The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable- linens provided were clean and plentiful. We didn’t use the kitchen but it had the necessities. There is a bit of a musty odor- air fresheners tried to mask it but they were too strong for someone with sensitivities to scent. Otherwise good location and cafe close by was very good!

This place is adorable! When you walk in, the decor takes you back to 1930. The code entry was flawless. I was needlessly concerned the codes wouldn't work, because that has happened to me before, at a different location.

We stayed in the Days End room. The room is adorable with a little kitchenette. It is perfect for one person. The building is old, so everything creaks. That makes it tough not to wake up your companion if you are going to be moving around the place while they are sleeping. Overall, it was a charming and clean place.

The number 1 suite is great! It has whatever you need for an enjoyable stay. Fresh coffee, and all kinds of soap is what I care about and got! The place is vintage and I can appreciate such a place. If you like modern day first class I would say go elsewhere.

Decent accommodations but the place is pretty run down. The sheets kept falling off the bed and the two futons for our kids were pretty uncomfortable. I reached out to report a minor issue and never got a response back. Also - while our room was clean, it looked like the main entry way and stairs hadn’t been swept in a while. For the amount we paid, I think sone serious investments should be made in the upkeep of the place. I expected more for what we paid.

It was a turn of the century building that fit our needs quite well. There was no bedroom and the doors were quirky, but the claw foot tub and comfy bed and futon were welcome. The history of the place was palpable.

Our flat was well-appointed, comfortable and clean. It was right downtown and convenient to shops, restaurants, and everything else we needed. We were travelling with 7 people total and we fit just fine. The two futons in the living room did the trick for us for an overnight stay.

The history of this property made our stay an awesome experience even with bed/sleeping arrangement issues. Don't expect more than one to sleep on futon comfortably. The $5 coffee shop credit was a great perk. Awesome coffee and smoothies.

Great charming atmosphere. Old and very clean. Lots of light. The little bedroom for our three year old was perfect. The host provided coffee and a discount in the coffee shop which was greatly appreciated. Easy to walk around town, to restaurants and the harbor. There is a grocery on the corner. Our favorite stay this trip. I would return anytime.

The place was beautiful and decorated lovely. The communication was difficult since it was all text. I was not aware of the 19 stairs, is that on the website? If not, I'd suggest that. Loved the location. would stay again.

It’s a group of rooms above stores, beware a steep staircase with no elevator for those with heavy luggage or other difficulties. Surprisingly quiet, cute and quaint with character, expect older kitchen and bathroom facilities—but was fine, was actually great to have a kitchen. Wonderfully placed in the middle of old town, half block from free shuttle stop (fabulous!). One downside was delayed response from text requesting help on TV and cable (which meant two nights with no entertainment, and the town shuts down pretty early!). Biggest hassle was since we didn’t have a car, there was no place to store luggage before checkin and after checkout (one nice benefit of a hotel). We ended up opening windows because it was too warm and no thermostat to be found. Otherwise, great place to explore Seward.

Staying her was so fun! The building was like going back in time to the 1920's. We had a great stay and Matt was very responsive to our needs. The only thing I would change is that the futon bed in the living room was so uncomfortable that it was basically impossible to sit or sleep on. Other than that, I would definitely stay here again!
