Hotel Edgewater

This is a nice hotel that has nice views of the ocean. A little more expensive than I expected for a hotel. But all of Alaska costs about the same it seemed. I enjoyed my stay and it was located so we could walk easily in the town at the different shops. Recommend it.

Think this place has a distinct location advantage. However, when one pays upwards of $1200 for 3 nights for room, that’s supposed to face the lake, the expectations are higher! Heavily overpriced place for an ultra small room. The restroom was probably 3x3 feet small. The beds were uncomfortable, TV wasn’t working, there was no air conditioner/temp control and the lake view was a joke for this specific room. A Juliet balcony with half the view sort of blocked by the edge of the wall of the adjacent room. Should have been “room, half lake view”! Worst - there was a terrible mechanical noise which kept going on and off through the night. It was never fixed. Not worth money at all! Pls don’t book this.

Made reservations for 2 rooms with 2 beds for 2 weekday nights for extended family less than a month before we arrived so knew our choices in Seward were limited and expensive. Overall our first floor rooms were nice, clean, quiet, and convenient. We would have preferred to have the sink in the bathroom vs just outside bathroom in the room for privacy and to avoid bothering roommate's sleep. None of us ate the buffet breakfast (about $20) as we didn't usually eat that much but no option for less like a continental. There is a nice brunch / coffee shop across the street right on the bay. It was easy to walk to Sealife Center. Parking is on the street so availability depends on time of day due to other businesses across the street.

The aesthetics of the property is great, but I wish they had put that same effort into the comfort of the rooms. The mattress was not great at all. The bedding was not cozy or plush in anyway and there were two small pillows in our room. The location was good and convenient.

Nice clean and modern which separates them from other properties around. Modern hotel is such a rare gem in Alaska . Within the same price range , we were happy with our stay . Hotel also offers laundry room , breakfast buffet ($19.99+taxes ) which was convenient especially when it rains all day all night . They also have a small market corner where you can pick up some snacks and food . Safeway is only 5 mins drive away. It’s right next to a nice coastal walk ( I assume it s nice but we didnt get to experience it because of the weather ) . Selfie conservation center is right next door but they only open a few days a week and not till noon ( which didn’t work out with our schedule) . The town is very small so , on a good day , you can walk to anything from a hotel.
