Needed a clean room to sleep one hight during our week long fishing trip. Matina Motel was the cheapest room I could find. We checked in late and all they had was one of their newly remodeled rooms. They said they upgraded us to it at no extra charge. The bathroom was brand new and the rest of the room... more

we were really dissappointed ith this hotel. Don't get me wrong the place was really clean, but the rooms were realyy small and dark, even with the curains open. The price we paid we could have stayed across the road at the Holiday Inn Express for cheaper, and with a better view. The noise from the road is a bit... more

Stayed in one of the newer rooms and it was okay. Nothing fancy. Just wanted a clean and safe place to spend a couple of nights in Seward during my trip to Alaska. The owners were very nice. I thought it was a pretty good deal for Alaska in the summer. The view of the mountains around the harbor was... more

Don't be fooled by the remodeled building exterior if you choose a "standard" (older) room. All I wanted was a basic, clean room while in town for the Polar Bear Plunge. They offered me a non-smoking room even with my dog, so I thought it would be an OK place. Not so! Wood paneling on one wall, drop-ceiling, carpet that... more

My husband and i stayed there for 1 night. It felt like we were in a room from the 70's. They had not done anything since they bought the place to upgrade the room we were in. Very dissapointing. The bathroom fixtures were breaking, and the bathtub was very small and horribly stained. A bit grose. more

The Marina Motel is a small, very basic motel. We stayed two nights. We found the curtains to be reasonable for blackout, and we left the windows open behind the curtains so the rooms were comfortable at night. The noise from the highway didn't keep us up - I guess night traffic isn't very big in Seward since it's at... more

The Marina Motel is just ok - nothing to get overly excited about. We had a room in the new section of the building so I can't speak to the rooms in the older section. Given its newness, everything was fresh and clean in our room. To be on the safe side, you might want to suggest a new room... more

We stayed at the Marina Motel for one night in July 2005. Although the rooms are OK, bear in mind that this is a small town in Alaska, not a large city in the "lower 48". Good cable TV, small refrigerator, and good blackout drapes, and the room was clean. However, the furnishings are somewhat tired and the bathroom is... more

We stayed for one night at the Marina Motel in Seward. The motel is located within a short walking distance from the harbor. The rooms are fairly standard - two double beds, bathroom, TV, etc. - but the key benefit of staying here in the summer is the lined, almost blackout drapes at the windows! The decor is a little... more
