Priceline Hotel: Seward Alaska

[earlthepearlferrell]

I'm looking for a hotel in Seward (two rooms) for next July 2nd. I really want to avoid the Marina Motel if possible. Any bidding strategy suggestions?

We booked the Holiday Inn express directly rather than bid on priceline for Seward and got a really good price. Then again, we are going in September! Good luck!

A reminder, if you didn't remember, that as per our support page we are an affilate of the Holiday Inn Express and using our links helps keep this place a free resource for everyone.

I would think your odds of getting a deal on priceline in Seward for a summer night approaches zero. Of course, you never know, but realistically it's the longest of longshots.

That said, don't delay in booking something. That's a busy time there because of their big July 4 events (well known in Alaska). There's a highly regarded and inexpensive b&b in town -- and the owner is REAL helpful -- but you have to share a bath. It's the Ballaine House. For more privacy, I'd recommend the Alaska Saltwater Lodge. Their original lodge is right on the Bay if you want a more back-to-nature experience. They also have nice units in town at their Dairy Hill location. The owner also runs an excellent, but expensive, small boat tour into the National Park.
