Seward: Abode Well Cabins or Salmon Bake Cabins

[lucky cal]

We will spend two nights in the Seward area during our 1-week independent land tour prior to an Alaska cruise in late July 2015. We are looking for accommodations, ideally $200 per night or less and are thinking about Abode Well Cabins or Salmon Bake Cabins. We are a couple in our mid-50s who won't spend a lot of time in our room, but would like a pleasant, comfortable, clean place to relax in the evenings.

 

Anyone have experience with these properties? Which would you recommend and why? Any other recommendations?

 

While in Seward, we are planning on a full day Kenai Fjords cruise and also hope to visit the Sea Life Center and the Iditaride dog sledding operations (and perhaps Exit Glacier as well). These cabins are not right in town so will we be killing a lot of time getting around or is Seward fairly compact (by lower 48 standards)?

 

Thanks for your help!

I will bump this one back to the top for you. I have some of the sane questions as you, and I hope someone can answer.

Seward is very small .... about 1 1/2 miles from one end of town (harbor) to the other end ( 'downtown' where the Sealife Center is).

 

The cabins will be less than 10 minutes away.
