Priced right, always clean, right in the heart of downtown within walking distance to great food. This is my go to place when visiting Seward. Love having Mr Genes downstairs for breakfast, get there early, there are only a few tables.

3/5 Okay

Honestly, the hotel on its own was not bad at all. The frustration comes from this being a “pet-friendly hotel.” We asked on the phone ahead of time if it was pet friendly, and the lady said “yes we are!” So we showed up and checked in and went back to the car to get the dog to be told that they only have certain rooms for dogs and we had to change our reservation. And that

Booked a $150. a night room. When checked in by clerk who was on the phone the whole time was told room was in "historic" wing. No elevator for my disabled husband so had to go up stairs and room was the size of a broom closet. Bathroom had no tub, only VERY small shower stall and EXTREMELY narrow vanity. Room ventilation consisted of a portable 10 inch fan and scenic view was of building next door, alley and dumpster. Bedspread was a remnant of 1980 and furniture was scratched and ratty. Needless to say we will not be returning, EVER.
