    The ability to cancel or change a reservation is important when planning a vacation. Everything worked out fine but this was a concern when I booked.

    Seward is a fabulous town, quite expensive, so this hotel was cheaper than lots.

    the room was very small. They had told me the other beds were up a ladder in a loft, but I hadn't realized the ladder was as steep and the loft was so small. Great for kids, it would be an adventure, but for a 70 yo woman it was a trial. The ladder was very secure, so I could climb it ok, but it was tiring. Especially for midnight toilet visits. Our room was next to the dining area, so we could sit outside our room and we brought in tacos from outside for dinner, but there wasn't anywhere to sit inside our room, barely room for the 2 of us to move.

    breakfast was average, the location was great

    Beautiful city and comfortable beds.

    As with many historic bed and breakfast, the room was small. Our bathroom was tiny. We struggled to find space for our luggage. (Maybe we just bring too much). My daughter's room was bigger. The 2 rooms worked for my adult family of 6 but it was very cozy. We would not have worked without the use of the common space.

    The staff were very friendly and helpful in offering information. The inn had a family feel. The common space was fun to share. Whatever we needed the staff found a way to provide. (A special refrigerator for our picnic supplies and a scale to weigh our suitcase for the way home). Breakfast was yummy and felt like I was visiting Mom's kitchen. The location made walking the beautiful town an easy thing.

    Seward is a safe city, but it was my first time there and I didn't know that when I saw the self check in process with just the key left in the door. At the beginning I felt unsecure with the hotel door open but once you realized that the area is safe you will feel better and enjoy a lot. Maybe that could be a good advice to give to customers before arrival to avoid that initial reaction.

    Really Friendly staff and an awesome included breakfast. Location quiet and walking distance to restaurants and shops. Room has a good shower and lovely ocean view.

    Nothing, other than the main bed downstairs was a little small for 2 people.

    This was a great choice for our family. The 2 kids could stay upstairs in the loft. Breakfast was amazing each day. Perfect location for exploring Seward.

    For some reason, all the recyclable used cardboard was piled up just outside our room.

    Very clean rooms in a building dating back to 1918. Each room has a loft with twin beds, but virtually unacceptable for older folks - we are in our 70’s, but our grandchildren loved them and clambered right up. Very nice individualized prepared breakfast is included. Very pleasant staff. A very unique place.

    We didn't always wake up in time for breakfast, but there were still options available. A tiny bit more flexibility regarding breakfast would have been appreciated.

    The location is closer to downtown, the sea life center, and restaurants, but off the beaten path by the marina. We loved the quirky nature of the converted Oddfellows hall with the loft beds for the kids.

    The room was excellent, with a very comfy bed and an excellent bathroom. Breakfast was very good!

    This hotel is good in terms of location. Hotel rooms were in size for couples or solo travelers. Sara helped us for local area restaurants , coffee places and tours. Hotel breakfast is in house so that was best. Breakfast menu is same at times for few portions varies based on guests in hotel.

    Floor squeezes so people next door can hear others walk. Sound isolation can be better. But this is more like a family place.

    The room was small and did not have a TV in the room itself. There was a TV in the common area. The room had a loft area where my sons slept. It was hot in the loft area even with an open window. There was no room cleaning service provided for the second day of our two day stay.

    The Swan Nest Inn is conveniently located in the heart of Seward. It provided easy walking to shops and some restaurants. The Inn itself is old and has a rustic feel to it. The room was clean. They provided a breakfast each morning.
