Military Park Seward Resort (Fort Wainwright)

Aloendra Maskevich

Great place to stay when out with the family! Far enough away to stay out of the bustle, close enough to get your steps in for a walk if you are so inclined. The front desk was very patient with the many questions I had (it was our first time here) and they were great at keeping us informed of events going on while in town. Will definitely be coming back and using the military resort for all of our Seward stays!

We had a wonderful weekend at the resort! We spent our time just enjoying the town and the resort off-season in October. No where else are you going to find a motel room at those prices in Alaska! The staff at the desk were excellent friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. However, it would have been nice to know about the winter special when I was just booking the two rooms instead of finding out about it when we got down there. It is a great deal! The room was very nice and clean. The one improvement they could make would be to have a luggage rack in the rooms. That would have been helpful so we had a place for our suitcase. It looks like they do have rooms that have doors between them, so if you are a family who wants to have rooms next to each other, they have that option, if available. Regarding the gift shop, the had some really cute sweatshirts, Christmas ornaments, and stickers. It would be great if they had more of a selection for food and drinks to buy when you want a snack. Microwave popcorn, hot chocolate packets, tea, pop tarts, etc. would be a nice addition, especially since they only have coffee in the rooms. It is nice that they have a separate fish cleaning building so you don’t have to clean your fish in your rooms. It was cool to find out that in the Summertime they offer a shuttle to the downtown area daily. The grounds of the area were kept up very nicely. Everything was clean and the landscaping looked great. I would recommend though that they add a light going down the stairs from the main desk area to the 300 motel rooms. If is very hard to see that set of 3 stairs at night. Parking is ample if you bring your vehicles. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend this place to everyone eligible.

Great location and people and fish house been coming here for eight or nine years? BUT The price keeps going up and the service keeps going down. There is so much potential here. No more charter boats; no more bar, 1/2 a restaurant, no more communal barbecue grill, no more deep sink with hot water for the people staying in the yurts, The blue boys for sewage not shared with the campers, excessive restrictions on parking/unloading fish at the fish house. There is a weight room/building down at the marina, not shared with guest. Trailer sites not level, snowmobiles and bicycles set out in the rain when they have two huge machine sheds and a five stall garage, should have a hook inside each bathroom, stall, and outside each shower. No more playground for the kids tore down not repaired, no electricity for yurts, no more freezers in the hotel rooms, lack of use for the great hall, what is the maintenance schedule for the log cabin hall? No more camp hosts we used to have two. I tried to volunteer and failed. Does Seward Military Resort want to do more for the Veterans or less so much potential? I love this place that is why I care enough to make these suggestions

We stayed one night in a townhouse at the Seward Military Resort after our Alaska cruise. The free shuttle (every 30 mins) from the cruise terminal was very convenient—it also connects to major stops in town. We used it to get to Safeway and the Sea Life Center without any hassle. The location is excellent, and the staff is extremely welcoming and helpful. They really made us feel at home. That said, the property is a little dated for the price point. At $330 per night, it feels on the high end. Small details could be improved—there was no paper towel in the kitchen, and the sink was pretty clogged. Overall, though, we really appreciated the hospitality and convenience. With a few updates, this could be an outstanding place to stay.

First time to Alaska and this was the perfect place to stay for personnel with a Military affiliation. Great views, great staff, and nice accommodations. We stayed in a townhouse and it accommodated four adults perfectly. Will definitely stay here the next time we come to Alaska. Use the free shuttle and you can get to downtown Seward with ease.
