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.

Great stay

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.

The staff was friendly. Bed was pretty comfortable and linens seemed clean and fresh. However, i think my room had black mold on the ceiling and needed a deep clean. A rack and hangers for hanging clothes would have been nice. I appreciated the retro microwave and mini fridge.

Friendly & Clean

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!

Worst place to stay in Seaward with family

The location of this property is awesome, everything else is simply terrible. For the amount of money they charged, I expect beds with wheels. Its a small, dingy, unclean place. No Air con and the heat was in blast and there is no one to man it. I called the hotel number and somwone finLly answered only to sorry for this situation and they will.fix it the next day which didnt happen. Will expect a full refund.

The staff here could not have been any better! We took a train from Anchorage to Seward and arrived before our check-in time. The woman at the front desk work with the cleaning crew and we got in with very little wait time. The room was very clean. The cleaning crew did an amazing job. In the evening my daughter went to the front office fir some hot chocolate, but they were out. The front desk staff member said she'd run to the store, get some hot chocolate, knock on our door when she returned and would get us hot chocolate. Talk about going above and beyond, wow, thank you! When I tried to tip, she refused and said she loves her job and no need to tip. Again, wow, who turns down a tip in hotel business when going way above and beyond and says I love my job, no tip needed. This place has some of the BEST staff I've ever seen in the US. I'd know, I've been to 45 states and several countries. Thank you! Great service here, WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

It was only by chance someone was there to initially check me in. The room was FREEZING, in the 50s. No way to adjust heat. I was given access to 3 plug in space heaters, none of which would work! I didn't bring sufficient clothes to deal with that kind of cold so I went back to get a refund. Posted office hours are 9am to 9pm. No one was at the desk. I continuously rung the bell, banged on the wall, yelled, and called both numbers and no one answered. I had to call my bank and put a stop payment on my card to avoid being charged. I left the hotel at approximately noon, I didn't get a call back from them until 7:36pm. I didn't bother calling them back. I have NEVER had a hotel experience as egregiously bad as that. Worst customer service I have ever experienced at a hotel. NO stars would be more appropriate than 1.

There was no staff to check in with. The property looks like a construction zone, with holes in the wall and the heat did not work. The TV did not work either. Would not recommend.

The motel is ok for us for stay one night. It’s very close to the train station and the cruise port. The bathroom is very small, the floor is very dirty and all the room in general too. It’s look old and not well maintained. Don’t expect too much of that place. The only good thing is the location.
