    Quite dated, the shower curtain needs replacing. No handle on the bath shower. Very steep stairs to room so difficult to carry large cases. Very squeaky floor boards.

    On the Main Street of Seward, so convenient to everything.

    The head of the bed was where the head of the bed was in room next door. Sounded like there were mice scratching in the wall all night. Finally had to sleep with head at the foot of the bed .

    Cute little room

    The check in process for us was a nightmare. MAKE SURE YOU ARE PROVIDED WITH THR OUTSIDE DOOR CODE, YOUR APARTMENT DOOR CODE AND YOIR APARTMENT NUMBER PRIOR TO CHECK IN. While I watched many people check in seamlessly with the above information in hand, I stood outside in the cold rain at 6pm well after the scheduled check in time calling all 3 numbers posted on the Sauerdough Lodging door for an hour before giving up and lugging all my bags and my cold wet self to a local restaurant to wait. 2 hours later at 8pm I received the necessary information and was able to get into my apartment (which was great once I was there). Learn from me : get the necessary info ahead of time and avoid a time consuming headache!

    The location of this property is fabulous! It’s located right on the Main Street of Seward close to the Shops, restaurants and the Sea Life Center! It is a heritage building with a unique feel and apartment layout! Owners have done a great job in updating the property while keeping a lot of charm! Bed was VERY comfortable with excellent quality linens. Water pressure was good in the shower and WiFi was quick (by AK standards)

    the futon couch was so hard. couldn’t sit there. king sheets are too small, had to replace the bottom sheet every night but I think they were just too small, maybe shrank in the laundry.

    loved where it was, just above a bakery diner was . and right downtown. close enough to walk to several places. very helpful workers.

    The location was ideal but we were not comfortable sleeping there.

    I was uncomfortable with the fact that there was only one lock to the door when we slept. The main entrance to the building was unlocked for the majority of the time we were there. The floor was not swept under the bed nor couch. And the tub had drainage issues. I would suggest that all the windows have blackout curtains or at least blinds that cover the windows properly.

    We enjoyed the location and the accessibility to the surrounding attractions and dining.

    it could definitely use a deadbolt added to the inside as the only lock was placed 3/4 way up the door and was pretty weak with a pin code. My kids could have pushed it open when locked if they wanted to.

    The decor looked original to when the building was built and we were told it was an old brothel.

    I just think it's overpriced compare to hotels and lodging we stated at in Alaska. If you plan on cooking yourself it's totally worth it.

    We enjoyed our stay. I think they had the most comfortable soft bed we've ever slept on. It was very clean.

    TV was a little hard to figure out but who needs it anyway?

    We rented the Denali suite. Finding the right door to the place was a little difficult (it’s the white door on the right not the red door in the center of the building) but once inside we were delighted. If you wanted a perfect place to hide out from the rest of the world, be close to downtown and the water, have a full kitchen, lovely sitting room, huge comfortable bed and full bathroom, this would be it. We loved the place.

    since it is old fashion, the shower is in a small bathtub.

    the hotel contain several separate apartments. We stayed at Apt 5. It is a one bedroom studio apartment. This is a very unique hotel with a late 19th early 20th century style. The room provide a kitchen, a bathroom, and also coffee machine.
