We normally like to stay in budget-friendly hotels, and Alaska during the summertime presented some challenges in this department. We decided to give the Breeze Inn a chance, and it was really fantastic. Our room was huge, immaculate, and well-appointed. We had a ADA-compliant room on the second floor of the main building, which is brand new, so that may have had something to do with it. We had two beds, a queen and a double, a great view of the mountains, and a huge plasma TV.

The front desk staff was very helpful and friendly. Check-in and check-out were a snap. In the afternoons, they put out freshly-baked, warm chocolate chip cookies. A nice touch!

Some of the rooms in the older parts of the inn, are much smaller, and haven't been updated. That said, they're more affordable (none were available for our stay), and I'd venture to say as clean as the room we had.

I was concerned that we'd be away from the action of downtown Seward, but as it turns out, there are really two centers of activity in the town. There's the older downtown, where some of the nicer hotels are, and there are shops, restaurants and coffee shops at the southern end of town. The Breeze Inn is in the northern hub of the town, near the fishing charters, Ray's Waterfront Restaurant (we had a great meal there), Chinook's Waterfront Restaurant, the Kenai Fjords National Park Visitor's Center, and many of the tour operators. If you're planning a boat trip, you'll leave from here. It's about a mile closer to the entry to Exit Glacier, though you still need to drive or take a taxi or tour van up there. It's also closer to the cruise ship terminal, though still probably a 15-20 minute walk from that pier. Another part of our party stayed in the downtown, and they ended up having to take taxis or their hotel shuttle up to our neck of the woods for dinner and cruises and such.

Overall, we were really pleased with the value, comfort, cleanliness and location of the Breeze Inn.

My ..family and I stayed at the Breeze Inn in Seward, AK the evenings of June 26 and 27, 2009. We stayed in the newer section in a room facing the Seward Highway. The traffic noise kept us up most of the night.
The room rate was exhorbitant even by Alaska standards. Their was no coffee or continental breakfast available nor any computer access for guests. This was the highest room rate we paid anywhere in Alaska during our two week visit.
Seward has many other nice hotel choices to stay in with better amenities and rates.

My husband and I are travel nurses and go to alot of different states and enjoy whatever they have to offer. We planned a charter fishing trip in Seward, Alaska and stayed at the Breeze Inn, located right on the harbor. We stayed in their older rooms. They have a new section that was a little more in price. The rooms were one of the cleanest that we have experienced. They were having a special and we paid only $59.00 a night. Holiday Inn was charging $130.00 a night. We have stayed at Quality Inns, Hotel 8, etc. and I am usually very dissappointed in the cleanliness of these places. The Breeze Inn was very quiet, had a great view, and we really appreciated the cleanliness and friendliness.

I came here with my wife and two kids. We stayed in the building with the harbor views--there's like three different buildings, and really enjoyed our stay. We had wireless internet, HBO, great views and a very accommodating staff. The restaurant did a decent job with breakfast and lunch, though we had dinner elsewhere. I felt that the value for the room was exemplary, and we all enjoyed our time there.

I would not recommend the Breeze Inn to budget travelers or those expecting much more than motel quality accommodations. For the budget traveler, stay at the campgrounds down the street with a great view of Resurrection Bay for only $10/night. My wife and I visited Seward in August '08 and stayed at the Breeze Inn for 1 night. We paid $135 for a room that smelled horrible (cigarettes) and bedding that looked unwashed with large stains. The "inn" is in a very good location but is overpriced even by Alaska standards.
