Wonderful

Quiet B&B that has amazing breakfast included. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Space was tight for a family of 4 in one room, especially with teenage boys that were not able to sit up in the loft. But for a place to rest your head and tired feet it did the job.
Our room at A Swan Nest was nice but very small. We were not in the room much anyway so that wasn’t a big deal.
Having breakfast options made to order was great! Staff was very friendly and helpful. The only thing I would have liked was to have tissues in the room.
Our stay at the Swan Nest Inn was outstanding! We loved our room. Traveling with 2 children - ages 12 and 14 - who loved the loft! It gave gem a bit of space any privacy! The shared spaces of the TV room and Dining room are perfect. We enjoyed playing board games provided after a long day playing hard outdoors! We even used the kitchen to have a simpler meal one evening. Breakfast is AMAZING! The homemade breads, fresh fruit and hot breakfast cooked to order is just awesome! Sarah’s breakfast potatoes are my fav! Location is perfect for easy walking and exploring of the SeaLife center, restaurants and shops. Super friendly staff. Highly recommend.
If posh is what you’re looking for, not sure this is it. But, Swans Inn is absolutely comfortable, practical, central and convenient. Sarah — your host/manager — is totally knowledgeable, helpful, and informative. Breakfast is adequate and timely. Feels like what BnB should, with DIY expectations and interesting guests.
This is a nice B&B place. There are shared kitchen and dining area. Our room is right next to the kitchen and the dining area, it was a little noisy staring 6:20am. All room are located on the 2nd floor, no elevator, would be a problem for older people. Our room has one queen bed and two twin beds. The two twin beds are in the attic, more suitable for kids, but not suitable for little kids for safety concerns in my opinion. Breakfast is good, you can order to cook. The breakfast lady is very nice. I never saw the manager behind the front desk. I would recommend this place.
Stayed in a room with a loft with 2 beds for the kids. Overlooking the harbor! Cute room and great breakfast. Great surprise for us after a wildfire cancelled our other hotel. Best stay of trip!
Great property in Downtown Seward. Walkable to restaurants, stores and Sealife Center. Free shuttle stops nearby to get around Seward (Harbor & Tours). Property is very well managed. The hosts are very friendly and very accommodating. Would definitely go back for another visit!
