Bears Den Alaska Lodging earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment for its exceptional cleanliness, prime walkable location near the harbor and train station, and attentive hosts whose personal touches — notably welcome cookies — consistently delight guests. The most recurring criticisms centre on the absence of a stove or hotplate (a genuine inconvenience for self-caterers), limited bathroom storage, and a price point that a handful of guests felt was steep for the unit size. Overall, it is regarded as a standout alternative to standard hotels in Seward, provided guests go in aware of the cooking limitations.
- Price considered high relative to unit size
- No cooking facilities (no hotplate/stove) — guests unable to prepare proper meals
- Small bathroom with limited storage for toiletries
- Insufficient hanging/storage space for clothes and luggage racks
- No on-site laundry facilities; sofa bed in one unit reported as hard and lumpy
“Warm chocolate chip cookies were delivered upon arrival, which we wholeheartedly appreciated.”
“Our host Shari went over and above with her hospitality.”
“A little pricey for how small it is… For a family of 6, it worked but felt like a cramped hotel room.”
“It was surprising to know that we can't cook in the room so had to eat out even though we had grocery with us.”
“It is cozy and well kept by attentive landlords… I would recommend Bear's Den to family and friends traveling to Seward, Alaska.”
