We have an amazing stay. We have a beautiful ocean view room facing the beautiful Resurrection Bay. The bed was so comfortable we don’t want to get up in the morning. The front desk staff was so helpful and accommodating.

Great location in town. Breakfast is listed with hotel amenities, however, it's not included in the rate. The breakfast buffet in the lobby is an additional cost of $20/pp.

Overall, the staff were fantastic! The manager was excellent!
If I have one negative is that the price for the breakfast was overpriced for what we got.

The Hotel Edgewater was a very nice hotel that was a perfect location for our 2 night stay in Seward. We had a nice corner room with ocean view. The room was small but convenient and close to everything. Staff was very friendly and courteous.
