need Seward B and B help
 
I will be visiting Seward and would like to stay at a Bed and Breakfast. I would access to a hot tub if available, but just a nice place with a view if possible. Does anyone have any suggestions???

The Treehouse? Avoid however- Ocean Front B&B.

Sorry BUT when I stayed at the Ocean Front- 1. the loft beds were NOT even made nor changed from the previous guest- hair on pillow even. I was told I did not "pay" for those beds- HOWEVER I had my email in which confirmed not only had that been a requirement for me but a affirmative answer from them, (EVEN if I was not to use them- it is unacceptable that the beds were not made up) the hot water ran out after 5 minutes and DID NOT reheat for over 2 hours, the main bed was filthy- comforter stunk of "feet". NO railings up to loft or up on to deck, stale open package of muffins, personal items in the medicine cabinate- hair brush, tooth brush, tooth paste. I emailed my concerns- factually, requesting nothing- no reply. So never- will I ever recommend them and I will always post a negative about them. I have stayed all over Alaska greatly preferring B&B's and this has been my only negative experience.

We stayed at Stoney Creek Inn. Its just outside of town around mile 6 on Seward Hwy. It was very nice.
They have a separate building for the guests. You have a bathroom in your room, and breakfast (muffins, cereal, yogurt and juice)is provided in your room. We were there in their off season, so they may provide other breakfast items in the summer.
They have a hot tub and a sauna. It was my favorite place we stayed in Alaska. Oh, and they made our bed and refreshed towels everyday. We didn't have that at most of the other B&Bs.

Enjoyed Alaska Saltwater Lodge. Outside of town (South), on the beach, reasonable, large clean rooms with fridge/microwave, nice contintental breakfast (cereal/fruit/breads and muffins). Kayak rentals and launch on site. One minor negative is the road is a bit rough getting there.

We stayed at the Alaska Point of View BnB in Seward for 3 nights (9/10-9/13). The studio had a jacuzzi for 2 in the room as well as a nice gas fireplace, seating area, etc. It is in town so within walking distance of town and restaurants. We had a small view of the water and mountains surrounding the area. It is about 4 blocks from the Bay so it was a "small" view - probably more now since the leaves should be gone from the trees. There is a hot tub on the premises, but we didn't use it or see it. Don't know if it was operational. The owner/operator is Debra and was very accomodating. Private entrance and a deck. We would recommend it as well as a microwave and fridge in the room. Many things were closing while we were there, so don't know what will be left open.

alaskahomergirl- if you keep advertising, people are going to start posting threads complaining about your company.

This is a place to share information, not to hawk your business!

I'll put in another vote for Stoney Creek. Very clean, nicely furnished, but it is a few miles outside of Seward. If you want to soak in the hot tub surrounded by nature, it's ideal, but if you prefer to be in the middle of everything, then it'd be better to look in town.

if you want to stay right in Seward, Soo's b and b is nice and offers a great full breakfast.......

We stayed at Kim's Forest B&B this past July and it was very nice. I believe one of the rooms has a Jaccuzi. It is just north of Seward. There is a lake and stream nearby and if it is clear there are nice views of the mountains with glaciers.
