Best Western Plus Edgewater Hotel

Thankfully the tourist season hadn't yet kicked off. First and foremost, I managed to get a corner room with a southerly view straight down Resurrection Bay. Also, I was able to parking space just outside our hotel room. So when I wasn't looking for sea life in Resurrection Bay, or escaping from the nearby Sea Life Center, I was able to watch the rental car and maintain an ever vigilant eye for any nar-do-well teens (I know that's somewhat redundant) . The hotel is a close walk to the aforementioned Sea Life Center and Seward's main business strip-- which was still mostly closed for the off-season. less

Great downtown location. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I’d recommend a room with a deck and view of the bay, you won’t regret it if you have time. All of the sights in Seward are easily accessible by foot or bike from this location. Rooms were pretty standard for the brand, and offered a decent included breakfast. less

We stayed at this hotel during our visit to Seward in August 2019. It was centrally located in the town and the staff and accommodations were excellent. Everything is within walking distance and there is a lot of history in Seward. Definitely recommend less

Hotel is located near the train station, rental companies to go out on the water and see the kenai fjords, sea life museum, great restaurants and bars, food was great. The halibut cubes where cooked at the bar was my favorite. The 7 layer chocolate cake tasted pretty good. less

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and kept thinking to myself- next time, go to a different hotel. Parking: none. There are a few parking spots around the hotel, but you need to get there early to keep one. Not only that- when I arrived I parked on one side of the hotel and in the morning the parking spots on that side were changed to paid spots. Luckily I got out of there on time. Noise: The hotel floors face the main hall, which is open all the way to the roof. Meaning- echo. Constant noise from people checking in/out and groups sitting in the lobby. Not to mention, very thin doors because you can hear anyone passing in the hall outside your room (in addition to the lobby). Also, not only is the A/C in the room noisy, so is the fridge. Luckily I didn't need it and I plugged it out, but again- very noisy. Hot: Not only was the A/C not working well, it was extremely noisy. When I asked if there's a fan I could get it took the staff around 20 minutes to tell me "The last one was just taken, try tomorrow". I would've opened the windows for the fresh air of Alaska, but I was in a room facing the main street- noise from outside (even with the windows closed). Breakfast: Good. Like all Best Western breakfasts. Laundry: There's a rather large coin-operated laundry room in the hotel. I cannot explain how hot it was in that room. I awkwardly waited outside of the room on a chair next to the vending machine. less
