Check in was very easy with passcode being sent as text prior to arrival. Only complaints I have is the bed, extremely soft and normally can’t be on a soft bed,only 3 pillows and needed a little more neck support.Also it’ll be nice if they had a broom to sweep up gravel that you bring in from parking lot.
Other than that, room was clean & they had proper kitchen utensils to do all necessary things.

We stayed at this property for 4 nights. The room we got was clean and updated. It would have been nice to have some tissue paper and paper towels. My main complaint was the housekeeping. We only received 2 coffee bags the entire 5 days we stayed there. I requested more coffee through messaging but was ignored. I requested some small towels one day since housekeeping didn't leave us with any. It was not delivered for several hours and I had to walk to the office to pickup some. I also requested a new pillow case because my child had a bloody nose. The person doing the messaging asked what was wrong with the pillow case we had. I was too lazy to reply since it was our last night. The room did get pretty hot, we had to keep the window open. Although we were generally satisfied with the property, the service has room for improvement.

Staff (woman owner or manager) was very unfriendly in person, yet friendly and helpful on the phone when gathering information prior to making our reservations. Assured us she could provide transportation pickup from the bus drop off to her lodge. This was NOT true! When we called for a pick up, she said she was too busy and could not pick us up. We then had to scramble to find another way to get to the lodge! So unprofessional!

During our 1 night stay, she just seemed very unfriendly. She also made transport to the cruise line difficult, so we ended up seeking our own transportation. Felt like she was friendly only to get customers. After that, it went all DOWNHILL.

Beware!! I'm all for supporting small businesses, but I suggest looking elsewhere. On the plus side, we did find an AMAZING uber driver who was friendly and so reliable!

Enjoy your stay in Seward! Aside from this stay, we really had an enjoyable time in Seward!

Note: Uber drivers in Seward are hard to find! We got lucky!! And, the location of this lodge is quite a distance from the main town of Seward, so transportation is important to have.

Simple review:

Pros -
Modern
Comfortable
Nice amenities, full stove, fridge, microwave, sink.

Cons -
Almost no sound insulation from your neighbors
Ive never slept on a dirty bed until this hotel stay
Water pressure dips down frequently during showering
No body wash? at all?

In summary grateful for this nice touch of modern in seward. I didn’t have totally 5 star expectations but the one thing that bothered me the most was that the sheet was already extremely dirty, with stuff ALL over it. Literal human hairs, unidentified black particles etc. Took a picture after I wiped most of it off of the sheet and it still looks bad.. how does this pass any housekeeping standards. Anyways, nice place for the night. 3/5

The room was clean, the property was well located and easy to find. But it missed basic amenities. We booked a double queen room for 3 nights. It didn’t have any cabinet/closet/storage area. Neither did it have paper plates towels or basic kitchen necessities. It didn’t even have shower gel or handwash in the bathroom. For the price we paid, the experience was subpar. :(

This is such an odd hotel. It’s basically two new buildings in a gravel parking lot, nothing else around it. It’s a car drive to Seward, so be prepared that once you’re in your room, there’s nothing else around (except for a maintenance truck yard). The rooms themselves were clean and come with a full kitchen. Very functional but it was not “lodgey” at all. It suppose it’d be great if you’re staying a month. I hope they “spruce” the place up a bit (a lot?) so that it’s welcoming. As it is, my two female companions and I were like “yeesh!” When we pulled into the gravel lot. So tldr: rooms: very nice. Exterior: gravel pitty.

The check in and out procedures were excellent and clear. We actually never interacted with any staff during our stay. Everything was clean and well maintained. The location is outside downtown Seward but still only 5 minutes away. Our only issue with the lodgings was we had first floor rooms. Each unit has 1 set of windows and they are located right by the stairs to go up. We were there in June and it was warm enough to have the windows open. However, every time someone on the second floor came and went we could hear them. And the screens aren't entirely privacy screens so you can see into the units. Since there is so much sun in June, this can be an issue at night. You can choose comfort and have the windows open when sleeping, but you sacrifice privacy and darkness. Or you can have your privacy and have the windows closed with the shades drawn, but then it can get warm in the room.

This is a brand new property. The rooms are fantastic and quite modern. Really appreciated the espresso cart outside in the morning. Just to be aware this is a property that’s in construction and that is in progress while you were residing there. This lodging was a self check-in and checkout process. Very little need of any to talk to somebody in person. Sometimes the staff were hard to find, though wouldn’t hesitate to come back here. The rooms are terrific.

Water pressure fluctuated to near dribble morning & evening. Becaue the problem was after 6 pm , no one was available in person nor did anyone answer repeated phone calls, messages nor an email.

We booked a deluxe double room for one night in Seward, and it was very spacious and clean. I was really impressed by the size of the room. We had 4 large suitcases, and we were able to set them all out on the floor and it was not cramped at all. The bathrooms and kitchen area are new and modern, which made the stay very comfortable. The area and room was quiet at night, and we were able to get a good restful night's sleep. The temperature was comfortable in the room with an electric fireplace for added ambiance. It was nice to have a fridge to keep our drinks cold and a microwave for warming up breakfast sandwiches that we got from the Safeway in town. Check-in was simple. No need to stop at the desk as we were sent a code for the room for access. The room rate was reasonable, and I would definitely stay here again.

Good location but I wouldn't stay here again

Our reservation stated that check-in started at 3pm but when we arrived at 3pm we were told check-in wasn't until 4pm. Our room smelled like someone had recently cooked in it and there was leftover food from someone else in both the refrigerator and freezer. We didn't bother to contact the management about it because we'd already had a hassle contacting someone about our check-in and there is no one on site. The rest of the room looked clean. The room was an odd design with a large closet that could only be accessed when the bathroom door was closed. There was no handle on the inside of the bathroom door but the door could be slid by using the very tips of our fingers. There weren't nightstands by the bed and there was no way to turn off any light from the bed. The hotel wasn't bad and it's in a good location, but we wouldn't stay here again.
