This is a great place to stay in Seward. Walkable to the downtown attractions and shops, with great views of Resurrection Bay. The breakfast is very good and everyone was pleasant to deal with.

A great family stay

This was one of our favorite stays on our family trip to Alaska. The location was great, it was set up perfectly for meeting other travelers. It was super close to almost everything in the downtown area. The loft areas offered in some rooms are great for kids. The breakfast every morning was delicious

Great unique b and b type of place. Self check in was great. Great views, nice staff. Just wish check in wasn’t so late (5pm) and check out so early (10am), but they did let me in early and said I could hang out after 10am so that worked out, in the end… Great vibe.

Great B&B! The breakfasts were really wonderful - freshly and individually prepared. The staff was great, too. Helpful but gave you plenty of space. Good location for historic downtown and walking distance to the wharf.

Lovely stay at A Swan's Nest Inn

Cute and affordable

Kids will love the loft beds. Rustic decor, good cooked-for-you breakfast, helpful advice. The local advice was the most helpful for us and we booked a boat trip through the property to save money. Nice location downtown amid the stores and restaurants.

Loved the delicious breakfast made for us each morning. Room and dining area were very clean. The only thing we didn’t like was that the rooms were very small, actually smaller than hotel rooms. Walkable distance to shopping areas. Overall was a nice stay.
