Frommer's Review

This old favorite inn changed hands in 2008, and any changes the new owners may make had not happened yet when I checked. The rooms have long been among the most attractive in town, with lots of light, Mission-style furniture and Tlingit art, with the rates reasonable by Seward's high standards. The location, midway between the Small Boat Harbor and downtown, puts both within long walking distance. Families and large groups especially should consider a stay, as the inn has a four-bedroom family suite with the features and size of a house -- it's 2,500 square feet -- renting for $199 double plus $10 for each additional person. Two two-bedroom apartments on the beach along Ballaine Avenue are perfect for families as well and rent for $189 a night for four. There are other suites, too.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
