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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Rooms are dated but super clean, in good condition, and an amazing hot shower. Staff very helpful and acted quickly when requested a couple of extra pillows. Located on Seward street so occasional trucks go by but not really loud or affect our slumber. Slept great! Walkable to the marina, close to railroad and Cruise port. Would stay again!

It was clean and affordable. It is an older motel but don’t let that discourage you. Clean rooms and the beds were okay. The staff however were great to offer assistance and resolve any problems. I would recommend this place. Close to the downtown if walking.

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.

On my original review I inadvertently wrote there were no towels in the room, my bad because just after hitting send I found them in the sink cabinet. Sorry It’s a great place to relax and catch some much needed sleep from prior fishing activities.

8/10 Very good

The photos of the outside make it look drab but inside it's nice, clean, modern. Staff friendly and helpful. It's on one side of the highway. Be careful not to overshoot it. It is on the right as you come in, down below the highway level. If you drive over to the other side, you are one minute away from the docks and the area where tourists show up at the offices to join their boat tours. Parking on the other side is crowded, though, so give yourself time to find a spot.

Decent Stay in a Convenient Location

When I was looking for a place to stay, I was coming off of a cruise ship so I wanted something close to the cruise terminal and railroad (since I was headed to Anchorage a few days later). The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The initial appearance reminded me of the Bates Motel and the patterns in the room didn’t all match (first world problems I know). However, the location was important, I was able to get a decent night sleep and the water pressure in the shower was amazing. There was also a microwave and fridge in the room. The floors and comforter were a little dirty, along with the fridge and microwave but I didn’t use those appliances. Overall, I was happy with my stay.

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!!!

A perfect stay

The whole place was clean and did not smell bad. The front counter Person had dogs which gets 10 stars from me, but it was apparent she was bored… But she was really nice too, so it’s OK. Front counter was not open 24 hours which was fine because we didn’t need anything. The condition of the building was pretty good. There were some ceiling tiles missing, floor was uneven, And the carpet looked a little worse for wear (Both in the hallway). I love that the room came with a mini fridge and a microwave!!! Ten stars. It’s right near the port and on the highway so there was some noise if you left the window open, which we did, but I’m used to that kind of noise so it didn’t bother me at all. Plenty of parking, Smoking area, And right next to the parking lot where Kenai fjords tours picks you up. Ice machine, coffee maker with creamer pods, Tea, And hot chocolate, were free in the lobby.

Hotel is very sketchy. Probably would have asked for a refund if I knew I could get a better room in the area. Very limited for the nights we were there. Very expensive for what you get. Halls had dirty, stained carpet, missing ceiling tiles with wires hanging down, patched walls, etc. Room was dingy. Bathtub was dirty. Shower curtain dirty and stained. TV didn't work (fuse to outlet blown), although it was replaced. No air conditioner and the heat ran continuously. Hotel provided fans. (Staff responsive to both of those requests.) It was still so hot in the room we all had trouble sleeping. Bathroom tight. No counter space. Drawers available, but kept coming off the rails. Towels were nice and fluffy. Surprisingly, better than some other hotels during our trip. Old-fashioned key lock. The chain was broken, but at least there is a deadbolt to lock once inside the room. Coffee and tea in the lobby area. Fuse blows when you make coffee and heat water at the same time. Others complained they lost power to their room. Convenient location to catch tour boat to Kenai Fjords. Easy walk. After coming back from an all-day tour, the room didn't look quite as scary. I guess the shock wore off.
