Close to everything in Seward town. Nice clean, but older property. We were on the 1sr floor which got some noise from outside. But it’s a great economical and convenient place to stay.

Unbeatable location, downtown, walkable to everything. The shower was excellent, with almost immediate hot water. However, the “ queen bed” seemed to really be a double bed, and the mattress was way too soft and it needs to be replaced. Helpful, friendly staff.

Great, historic property. Very clean and welcoming and the room was nice. I would give it a 5 but the bed was very hard and we didn’t sleep well - and that’s why we were there - so overall great experience but wow, the bed not so much .
