What can I say? It's a Holiday Inn Express. The rooms were okay; the staff were friendly and pleasant; and they had a decent continental breakfast for free. There's not much special with the rooms or amenities, it's what you'd expect for a Holiday Inn. What made this place stand out, however, was the amazing view. I was on the... More

The thing that I like about Holiday Inns in general is that they are dependably consistent. No matter the venue, and even in a remote location like Seward, the facilities and rooms are clean, the bedding comfortable, and the staff friendly and helpful. This Inn was no different and I really appreciate that. After bouncing around Alaska for the past... More

We always stay at this Holiday Inn Express when in Seward. It has a beautiful view and the location is great. The pool is pretty small but the kids still love it and it is on the harbor side so the view is great, it is usually not too crowded unless it is a summer weekend. The rooms are standard... More

This hotel is extremely well located for taking a cruise or taking one of the several whale watching trips. All are in a short walk from the hotel. The hotel is clean and updated and the rooms on the water side facing the boats and mountains are by far the best. Some have balconys that you can sit on and... More

Stayed here for the third time, this time with friends. We had a great time! We enjoyed the hot tub several times, and found the breakfast bar to have something for everyone. It is conveniently located; additionally, there are cabs that will take you anywhere in Seward (proper) for $5. The staff was friendly.

We chose the Holiday Inn Express in Seward, because we hadn't ever been to the town, and it's a small area with not a lot of choices. We figured a Holiday Inn was a safe bet, even though it was twice the price of the others. And it was okay - free breakfast in the morning, friendly staff, and predictable... More

Thank you for taking time to let us know about your guest stay experience. We are currently in the process of replacing the black out drapes. With the beautiful summer of Alaska for some the long daylight at times takes some getting use too. I am sorry that this had a negative impact upon your stay, but we are looking... More

Please be aware when checking in that you should ask for the 3rd floor. You can hear everyone above you and during our stay there were kids running up and dow the halls.

As part of whale-watching cruise package, we stayed here for one night. Rooms were clean, front desk was nice (no above and beyond but nice). View of the harbor is indescribable - to say its beautiful isn't doing it justice. Seward is quite expensive & isn't very big, so bring extra cash. Don't plan on staying too long.

This was a quick one night trip to Seward before the true tourist season starts next week. Booked standard room for $89 for a Saturday. Room had all the normal amenities: mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker. Our room was next to the housekeeping room so I could hear cupboards being opened & closed from about 6am on. Each floor had vending... More

We had an excellent stay in Seward! Our room was slightly larger than a normal hotel room, but the way the furniture was arranged made it feel HUGE. We had a beautiful mountain view, loved the nighttime cookie treats, delicious breakfast and had an amazing time swimming in the pool (we were the only ones both times). The employees were... More
