Very clean and adequate room with refrigerator. Good location with a short walk to the Seward Harbor area and a 20 minute drive to the Kenai Fjords Exit Glacier trailhead. Very welcoming, friendly and helpful reception (Diana). It was a minimalist facility, so there is no exercise room or guest laundry, but it was not a problem. It has a quaint 24 hour coffee room adjacent to the check-in lobby. My group enjoyed our stay here.

Steep three steps to get to my ‘ground’ room had a broken handrail (& a broken towel bar). The outside broken handrail base was held upright with rocks at the base. You can see the wood is rotten & they are trying to hide it. I almost fell twice going down the steep stairs. FIX IT!

Only reason be took a hotel, we just came out of a backpacking trip from Denali. So we were craving a hot shower. We got hot water for 15 sec and then it turned cold, then it got warm again for 15 seconds and so forth. The bathroom was so narrow you had to sit sideways on the toilet. The bathroom was very tired, the bedroom was better, at least it was spacy. It seemed clean, but usually a tired looking room also makes it look dirty.

The gal at the check in was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean with comfortable beds. They had a little coffee "nook" by the front desk since there was no coffee maker in rooms.

Tough to assess. The property was close to where we needed to be. The folks working there were super nice and efficient. Room was a bit worn, but probably par for the course in Seward. Quick checkin and checkout. But this hotel was full of freakin' right-wing, Trump-lovin' white trash that felt obligated to party oitside their rooms until midnight. Not sure if i was in Alaska or Arkansas. But I cant hold the hotel responsible for their low IQ clientele.

We could not possibly have stayed in the room we had booked due to the faulty lighting. One light didn't work and the other was a headache inducing striplight that constantly flashed. Unfortunately, there was no maintenance person or manager on site to deal with it and all other rooms were full. Eventually, we received a refund and managed to fund another place to stay.

Mixed, But I’d Come Back

I stayed here because it is just steps from the train depot. Check in was very friendly. Bed is Good. Room needs maintenance. Ni housekeeping during my four nights here. (That’s fine with me.) Best soup and hot dogs in town right across the street.

Staff was extremely accommodating, kind & wonderful. Marina Motel is a one story building - so no stair which is great for us older people. They have a small coffee station available stocked with Keurig coffee, hot cocoa, & tea. Diana took extra time to help us which we really appreciated.

Short Stay In Seward,AK

Great location within walking distance of the fishing docks. Pretty clean, but motel is very dated with their security. Had a physical room key that could be easily copied. Very small bathroom and bathtub. The door pictured in the bathroom had a big gap and a guest hallway was on the other side. I’m sure everything we did in the bathroom was heard by anybody in that hallway. They did have self service towels and toiletries which were good quality and very convenient! Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Nice vintage mini fridge in the room was appreciated. Room was very hot, not sure why, but we just opened the windows and it was fine. We stayed in the busy season for 2 nights, $645.
