Pros: Great staff, laundry facility, shuttle to/from train and seaport, walking distance to most things
Cons: No air conditioning, dirty rooms, dirty sheets (in old section)
Recommend?: Yes, but only if better options are already sold out
Tips: Request the new section when you book. If it’s full request a fan and blow drier when you check in, before they run out. Do your laundry early, it gets very busy later in the day.
The old section was awful and definitely not worth $200 per night. However, the location was great, and the staff was wonderful. There is a new section, if it’s available, book it! It’s more money but well worth it, from what we saw. Don’t expect to ask for it when you get there. Most of these hotels are sold out during cruise ship season. We actually wanted to stay in the Holiday Inn but even trying to book five months in advance, it was already sold out.
In the old section there is no air conditioning. Being from Miami, FL, we were basically freezing almost the entire time we were in Alaska, lol. Of course Seward was the ONLY time that it was kind of hot (July). You could open the windows, but it just didn’t feel secure as people were constantly walking by. Luckily I went to the front desk and was able to get the last small fan. The beds were hard and kept sliding off the box spring. The sheets were stained. The bathroom was stained with rust and dirt. The laundry facility was nice to have half way through our trip. And shuttle was a nice feature, though not always the most reliable.
