This 37-room motel is in an excellent location for people going on day trips out of Seward’s small-boat harbor as well as landlubbers staying in town to go sightseeing and shopping. Guest rooms are relaxing and inviting, with sturdy wooden furniture, colorful bedding and window treatments, and a subtle Alaskan outdoors motif that really adds to the appeal of the place.
