We had a wonderful time at the Safari Lodge. The room was very clean and we loved sitting out on the deck overlooking the marina! We also enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants and shopping. The staff at the lodge were very friendly - We would definitely come back!

Perfection!

This was our first time traveling to Alaska! The Safari Lodge was my favorite place to stay on the entire 9 day trip. The staff was so attentive, the rooms were welcoming and clean. The location was perfect. And the view, from our balcony, was amazing!

Beautiful view from the one bedroom. There is no office staff, so you’re on your own with luggage up the steep,long staircase. Theres no parking on site. You have to park a bit down the street and loading is done in the driveway of a busy marina. Full size kitchen, but beware there’s nothing in the kitchen. You need to bring your own stuff. The unit was gorgeous and watching boats were fun. It had a great covered deck but we wouldn’t return because of the lack of onsite parking, no elevator, no baggage as distance for the second floor.

The Crow's Nest (Executive Suite) is a spacious and very comfortable accommodation, probably the best in Seward. It is also, as my wife declared, seeing the view over the harbour marina from the back balcony, a setting straight out of a romantic novel.

We had a two night stay at the Safari Lodge and loved every minute. It was quiet, within walking distance to restaurants and the cruise pier. The room was charming and spotlessly clean. The owner greeted us when we arrived and our name was on a chalkboard plaque on the door. We had an amazing view from our covered back porch, of the marina and the cruiseships in port. I will absolutely stay here again next time. It was perfect.

This is a 2 stars lodge facing the harbor. Very small room, tiny shower, no A/C for ventilation in the room. I would prefer to have a bedding with conforter sheets covering the blanket. This is a convenient place to stay to join the early cruise in the morning. Very basic lodge for the high price.

We stayed in the apartment so this review is for that. Lovely location and an amazing view of the harbor. Right in the middle of everything, I enjoyed the views of the fishermen hanging up their catch at the end of the day, all from the balcony. One feedback is to do something about the natural light window in the bedroom that does not have a blind or curtain. When you lay down on the bed the mirror on front reflects the light of the window and it’s like a lit lamp all night in the Alaskan summer when it never gets dark. Otherwise all good.
