    Showerhead -- coverage could be improved. Dumpster outside facility needed repair. Trash was piling up on top of lid. Concerned for the wildlife, especially bears (a fed bear is a dead bear.) Grounds looked like a construction site -- some ambiance would have been nice

    Modern rooms, easy check in and out. Close to town. Lots of parking. Good heating! Nice towels and toiletries.

    I do wish they kept a swifter or broom in the closet. As we were there for hiking and outdoor activities not to mention all the rain. There wasn’t much room at the entry to take off shoes leading to a dirty grimy floor. Also the coffee cabin on the property that I was excited to see was never open when we tried to go. 🥲

    My husband and I just traveled there for our honeymoon and we were extremely pleased with the experience. We got in town early and was accommodated asap to check in early. I loved having the full kitchen and the bathroom was spacious. We also definitely appreciated a real coffee pot! However in our opinion the best part about it was the black bear we saw hanging out in the tree outside our room. We’r from indiana so that was AMAZING for us! 😃Thank you for making our stay comfy and cozy.

    We liked everything about Spruce Lodge.

    This is a wonderful place to stay!!! The house was spotless & had all the convenience of home. The owner, John, was very helpful, he took us everywhere we needed or wanted to go, even held our luggage and brought it to the train station when we had to leave..we had a full day between checking out of the house and the train. It is surrounded by woods Yat close enough to walk to a good restaurant across the street. John informed us of a couple of black bears that had been visiting area... we encountered one that was being followed by her cub. We admired them from afar.

    The bed sheets had a very strong smell of perfume. Most likely the scent of the detergent. My wife was affected by this with bad headaches. A scent free detergent would be more respectful to future guests. The shower has a loud squeaking noise when used. Otherwise is was a good room.

    There could be better signage in order to find the place. The self-check in and checkout left me wishing for someone to have welcomed me. The grounds are all on gravel so a paved parking area would be appreciated.

    Very easy to access to my room. It was extremely clean and the space was perfect. The bed was really comfortable and included a small couch in the room. The diffuser was a lovely touch and smelled amazing. Was pleasantly surprised at the level of cleanliness and how spacious the room was.

    The window curtain was thin and see-through.

    Our room was very clean and spacious. We are more accustomed to a firmer mattress, but it was comfortable. The breakfast sandwiches for sale and coffee are very good. Although the office staff was not seen, someone was always available via telephone to help and answer questions. Getting into our room on arrival could not have been easier. We would definitely stay here again.

    It made me feel uneasy determining if the door was locked. From the inside it was difficult to tell if it was locked. And it was hard to feel comfortable just trusting that the door automatically locks.

    Bed and pillows were comfortable. Place was clean.

    There was not any hot pads in the kitchen and the floor was dirty but really enjoyed our time in Seward.

    I loved the location and the setup. Everything was new and necessary for the small space. It was quiet at night so sleeping was great. The TV was smart and fun.

    Great location and price. The place looks brand new (probably is) and has all the amenities.

    The sliding door (without latch!) to the bathroom door is a poor design. I hope you provide locks for these doors. When we slide the door open we often bumped our toes trying to enter the walk-in wardrobe. The door essentially blocked access to either the bathroom or the wardrobe. Please also provide paper towels (bounty) for kitchen.

    Great place, had almost everything we needed.

    The Perfect place to stay in Seward

    It was all more than we expected, so I would say nothing. However, if you are in town without a car, I imagine this place would not be as convenient, because it's not really walkable to downtown.

    This was a beautiful chalet. It was in the back of the property, and it felt like you were in a forest. It's a 5-7 minute drive to downtown Seward. Down the road from Exit Glacier, and Turning Heads Dog sledding. Across the street from Salmon Bake. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked with cookware and dishes. The master bathroom had a steam shower, and the downstairs bathroom had a jetted tub. Washer and dryer were a bonus. Big deck in the front with grill and in the yard around the chalet was a fire pit. Really couldn't have asked for more.

    Room numbering was difficult to see. Larger numbers might be helpful.also, I’m admittedly a mattress snob. I would have preferred a non cage spring mattress.

    The room was nicely done. Modern and fresh. Great location to everything we needed.

    Negatives would be the price and the kids that were riding around in a golf cart around the parking lot.

    Positives were the cleaniless and cuteness of the room provided. The water was constantly hot and the staff was very friendly. The coffee shop was good as well.
