Don't be fooled into staying at an expensive Lodge or other 'fancier' destinations on the outskirts of Seward. The Holiday Inn Express is the best place to stay for views (you'll have a view of either the mountains or water), proximity to the best restaurants in town (walking distance), and service (yummy, free breakfast with pancakes, sausage gravy and biscuits,...

After debarking from a 7 day cruise, we had some time to kill before our train left to Anchorage. Our family was 6 - including my elderly parents who needed a warm place to sit and wait. The Holiday Inn Express was very close to the train station, and housed a wonderful waiting room. Many people were waiting for buses,... More

We stayed two nights at this HIE as part of a package with Major Marine tours. The location on the harbor is excellent, and we just loved the view from our room! You are within walking distance to every place on the harbor, and just a short drive to downtown. We had a few problems with our room, but liked... More

The hotel is painstakingly clean, the rooms are great, the bed just right, the pillows the best I had in a long time. Breakfast is unusually good, hot cheese omelettes, gravy, boiled eggs, bacon and everything you can think of. 24 hours hot coffee and tea in the lobby, most of the time even orange and apple juice. My only... More

The breakfast has quite a few varieties for breakfast, you have eggs bacon a variety of breads cinnamon rolls cereal juices. A very good selection. The room... More

If you've ever stayed in a good Holiday Inn Express then there isn't much more to say about this property, other than that it is a little nicer than most I've been in and is in a GREAT location. It is right in the harbor and you can walk out right from the hotel to the Seward Harbor, which is... More

Stayed at the HIE Seward as part of a road trip in Alaska in September. It's right on the habour at the entrance to town. About 3hrs senic drive south of Anchorage. Good hotel with welcoming check-in staff. Was in a large room on the opposite side to the habour -very busy weekend. Was instead overlooking the mountains. Great range... More
