Best Western Edgewater Hotel

Seward


Some of the most comfortable rooms in town are found in this chain hotel that faces the bay. There's a slightly odd configuration for the bathrooms (with the sink in the room), but the bay views are spectacular. The handsome wood furniture and jumping orca photos provide a fleeting glimpse of Alaska.
