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.
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.

My husband and a friend stayed there for a fishing trip and they thought it was wonderful. Drove by at several times, but never stayed there. Will put that in our list of places to stay for the next time.
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.
We had one of those days where if it could go wrong it did and Deanna at the Marina Motel saved the day. We called to confirm the reservation before we drove out there and after hearing about our day she not only confirmed the reservation, but when we got there she'd moved us into a bigger room. She went above and beyond to make the stay special for us and our kids.

Location was ideal. Ran "hot" water for longer than a half hour and water never even got warm.
Perfect little roadside motel. The rooms were clean and surprisingly larger than i thought. Very happy we booked.

The motel itself was nothing to rave about but it’s location is excellent & it was adequate for our needs (we were out exploring much of the time). Friendly staff.
We stayed a few night to explore the Kenai Peninsula before embarking on our cruise. The front desk staff was VERY friendly and helpful. The property is dated but was clean and meet our needs. Coffee, tea, and hot cocoa were available in the lobby as well as a microwave. The rooms have small refrigerators with freezers. We would definitely stay again!

Loved the convenience to the train station and the free shuttle service around town. The front desk staff, Shakita (hopefully that’s correct), was amazing! So accommodating. We would definitely stay there again.
